BOY SCOUT Pistol Program
Our Summer Camp season offers a very special pilot program coordinated by the
Illowa Council on behalf of the Boy Scouts of America.
First-time shooters and advanced marksmen will be challenged through an
exciting array of target presentations.
Is the program a success? Check out these results from last summer!
What types of handguns are used? Ruger model 22/45, .22 caliber, semi-automatic handguns are used.
How many shots do I get to take? Last year, 600 youth and adults sent over 38,000 rounds of ammunition
“down range” having fun at the pistol range. (That’s an average of 63 shots per shooter!)
Did it cost extra to shoot handguns? No. As a pilot program, Camp Loud Thunder is offering this
program at no additional cost to their campers. (A special thanks to our many generous supporters.)
Are there other opportunities to participate in shooting sports at camp? You bet! The handgun program
is run in addition to our rifle, shotgun and archery ranges. Both the pistol and rifle ranges have lighting
to allow evening programming until 9:00 p.m.!
Is training required? Yes, all eligible Scouts and adults must attend an annual 30-minute safety briefing
while in camp to be able to participate. Advanced classes offer the NRA FIRST Steps pistol training.
Is it safe? Yes. Camp Loud Thunder utilizes adults that are BSA/NRA certified with supervision ratios that
exceed recommendations. Safety is our number one concern!
Will there be room for my Troop? We hope so! Camp attendance has jumped over the past few years
because of all the innovative new programs we are offering. Space is limited to ensure optimal merit
badge class sizes, pool capacity and dining hall seating.
The ONLY camp in the Midwest approved for Boy Scouts to enjoy handgun marksmanship!
For more information on eligibility, or to make a reservation for your Troop to attend Camp Loud Thunder,
visit our website at www.illowabsa.org/Camping-Outdoors or call the Program Department at (563) 388-7233.

WHAT IS A COUNCIL?
Geographically, the ILLOWA Council is composed of all five Districts spread over 13 counties in
Iowa and Illinois. The Council is a wholly-owned corporation owned by the local community and
governed by an Executive Board of Directors who are all Scouting volunteers like yourself.
Districts have full-time staff support in the form of a District Executive. The balance of the
Council employees serve the Executive Board in organizing and overseeing the affairs of the
Council.
WHAT IS A DISTRICT?
A Scouting District is the next level of Scouting
organization above the Pack, Troop, Crew or Post
level. Every council is divided into geographical
districts, and all units belong to only one district —
it’s all designed to help organize and serve
Scouting units. You can find your district generally
on the map. The district structure is designed to
help and support Packs, Troops, Crews, and Posts
in its area, and will have a chairman and a full
committee of volunteers working to ensure that the
best possible Scouting program reaches its district
youth.
The full district volunteer structure includes people
helping with Membership, Finance, Program and
Unit Service. As volunteers become more familiar
with their unit activities they frequently move up to
one of the committees at the district level, using
their experience to help others. As you look
throughout this Council Program Planning Guide,
you’ll see it contains a great deal of important
information on programs, activities and training in
three areas: the unit level, the district level and the
full council level. You’ll find volunteers at each of
them who share your belief in Scouting. You will
also find that there is no shortage of programs,
activities, training and Scouting fun to be had!
THE ILLOWA SERVICE CENTER AND SCOUT SHOP
The Service Center is located in Davenport, Iowa. There is also a National Scout Shop in the same
building, where you will find Scouting uniforms and a selection of equipment, as well as being the
principal source for patches, awards, program supplies and training and advancement materials.
The Service Center is where advancement forms are turned in and where you can register for
Council and District events. You’ll always find a friendly smile and a helping hand about Scouting
matters.

Located in heavily wooded terrain about a
half-hour west of the Quad Cities, the Loud
Thunder Scout Reservation offers a wide variety
of outdoor adventures. There is an extensive
collection of short and moderate length hiking
trails, including a section of the historic Sac-Fox
Trail, as well as two lakes to enjoy while viewing
the resident wildlife population. The camp's 250+
acres include 16 tenting campsites, each with its
own distinctive feel - as well as washing facilities
and a field latrine. There's even a handicappedaccessible campsite with concrete tent pads and
paths, so virtually everyone can enjoy Loud
Thunder's great atmosphere. And unit tent
camping is FREE!
The camp’s buildings and shelters are truly
impressive, including the dining hall that seats
some 200 people at a time, an administration
building for small meetings, and several covered
outdoor program areas including the Handicraft
Building. There are three rustic cabins and the
Dunkin Lodge available to rent for unit, district
and council activities.
There are also specialized activity areas for boating and canoeing, rifle and shotgun, astronomy,
archery, COPE, geocaching and much more. While some of these resources require access
through a council program like Boy Scout Summer Camp or Cub Scout Resident Camp, many are
readily available through completing the Property Usage Application. Your unit can find lots to do
at Loud Thunder using nothing more than your own resources — and LT’s beautiful natural terrain!
You are encouraged to use the Loud Thunder facilities.
Please note: Camp Loud Thunder is an alcohol and tobacco-free environment.
How to rent a facility at LT for unit use?
1) Check the Camp Reservation Calendar
• Calendar is located on the council website on the CampingOutdoors page, Lodging-Facilities-Equipment
• Please note units can make a reservation through August 1 of the
given year. After August 1, reservations can be made through
August 1 of the following year. This allows the council and districts

page
3) Submit Application and Fee to the Council Service Center

RESOURCES
Guide to Safe Scouting
The purpose of the Guide to Safe Scouting is to prepare members of the Boy Scouts of America to conduct Scouting
activities in a safe and prudent manner. The policies and guidelines have been established because of the real need
to protect members from known hazards that have been identified through over 100 years of experience. Limitations
on certain activities should not be viewed as stumbling blocks; rather, policies and guidelines are best described as
stepping-stones toward safe and enjoyable adventures.
All participants in official Scouting activities should become familiar with the Guide to Safe Scouting and be
aware of state or local government regulations that supersede Boy Scouts of America policies and guidelines. The Guide
to Safe Scouting provides an overview of Scouting policies and procedures rather than comprehensive, standalone
documentation. For some items, the policy statements are complete. Unit leaders are expected to review the additional
reference material cited prior to conducting such activities.
In situations not specifically covered in this guide, activity planners should evaluate the risk or potential risk of harm, and
respond with action plans based on common sense, community standards, the Boy Scout motto, and safety policies and
practices commonly prescribed for the activity by experienced providers and practitioners.
Visit www.scouting.org/Scoutsource/HealthandSafety/GSS.aspx to view or download the
latest version of the Guide to Safe Scouting.
Tour and Activity Plan
The Tour and Activity Plan is a checklist for best practices to be prepared for safe and fun adventure. Completing the
tour plan may not address all possible challenges but can help ensure that appropriate planning has been conducted,
that qualified and trained leadership is in place, and that the right equipment is available for the adventure.
In addition, the plan helps to organize safe and appropriate transportation to and from an event, and defines driver
qualifications and minimum limits of insurance coverage for drivers and vehicles used to transport participants.
Please complete and submit this plan at least 21 days in advance to ensure your council has enough time to review the
plan and assist you in updating the plan if it is found defective.
Times when a tour plan must be submitted for council review include: trips of 500 miles or more; or trips outside of
council borders [Exception: not to your council-owned property]; or trips to any national high-adventure base, National
Scout Jamboree, National Order of the Arrow Conference, the Summit Bechtel Reserve, or regionally sponsored event;
or when conducting the following activities outside of council or district events:
Aquatics activities (swimming, boating, floating, scuba, etc.)
Climbing and rappelling
Orientation flights (process flying plan)
Shooting sports
Any activities involving motorized vehicles as part of the program (snowmobiles, boating, etc.)
At a council's request (contact your local council for additional guidelines or regulations concerning tour plans)
Registered Unit Level Leaders– visit www.MyScouting.org to complete your online Tour and Activity Plan.

Illowa Council Web-Based Communications
To communicate better with our Scouts and Leaders about upcoming news, programs, activities and
trainings, Illowa Council has started a monthly e-newsletter called “Program Happenings”, and created a
Facebook Page.
Newsletter:
A “Program Happenings” template will be provided to each District Executive at the beginning of the
month so they can add district-specific events and trainings to the newsletter and then send it to the
Scouting Volunteers in the communities they serve. The council manages the master e-mail database
through the ScoutNet Registration system, and each district has their own e-mail database to send out
district-specific information. Your e-mail will only be shared within the BSA system and used for general
communications and satisfaction surveys.
To submit your e-mail please visit www.illowabsa.kintera.org/e-mail
Facebook
The Illowa Council, Boy Scouts of America page is a great place for us and our Scouting Community to
share great news, stories, upcoming events and trainings. If you are a member of Facebook search for
Illowa Council, Boy Scouts of America and ‘like’ us.

EVERY SCOUT DESERVES A
TRAINED
LEADER
Trained Scout Leaders provide a quality, fun-filled program for youth! Training helps a leader to be aware of
the resources available to them and therefore be more effective in delivering a worthwhile program to the
youth. As a result of trained leaders, our Scouts achieve the aims of Scouting: citizenship, character
development and personal fitness.
The Basic Leader Training program is designed to help leaders easily graduate through the courses with little
duplication. It begins with Youth Protection Training and is followed by Leader Specific Training for each
adult’s role in the unit. The following is a matrix designed to show you what trainings are needed to be
considered a “Trained Leader”.

Wood Badge is the advanced training program for all Scout leaders in the Boy Scouts of
America. This includes all Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity and Venturing leaders, as well
as professional scouters. Wood Badge is designed to train adult volunteers using the
latest leadership skills and technique.
Wood Badge has four specific objectives. As a result of attending Wood Badge,
participants will be able to:
1. View Scouting globally, as a family of interrelated, values-based programs that
provide age-appropriate activities for youth.
2. Recognize the contemporary leadership concepts utilized in corporate America and
leading government organizations that are relevant to our values-based movement.
3. Apply the skills they learn from their participation as a member of a successful
working team.
4. Revitalize their commitment by sharing in an overall inspirational experience that
helps provide Scouting with the leadership it needs to accomplish its mission on an
ongoing basis.
The next Illowa Council Wood Badge Course will be offered
in September and October of 2016.
Courses begin on Friday morning, and attendance at both weekend sessions is required.
More information is available at http://illowabsa.org/Training/Wood%20Badge
Please contact Course Director Lynn Berger at owlwb815@aol.com or at 563.381.2474 if you are
interested in attending or have questions.

WHAT IS NOVA & STEM?
The Boy Scouts of America's NOVA Awards program incorporates learning with
cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics
for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers. The hope is that the requirements and
activities for earning these awards stimulates interest in STEM-related fields and
shows how science, technology, engineering and mathematics apply to everyday
living and the world around them. Counselors and mentors help bring this
engaging, contemporary, and fun program to life for youth members.
The Nova Awards
There are four Nova awards for Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, Boy Scouts, and
Venturers. Each award covers one component of STEM—science, technology,
engineering, or mathematics.
 Cub Scout Nova awards: Science Everywhere, Tech Talk, Swing!, and 1-2-3 Go!
 Boy Scout Nova awards: Shoot!, Start Your Engines!, Whoosh!, and Designed to
Crunch
 Venture Scout Nova awards: Launch!, Power Up, Hang On!, and Numbers Don't
Lie
For their first Nova award, Scouts earn the distinctive Nova award patch.
After that, a Scout can earn three more Nova awards, each one recognized
with a separate pi (π) pin-on device that attaches to the patch. The patch
and the three devices represent each of the four STEM topics—science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The Supernova Awards
The Supernova awards have more rigorous requirements than the Nova awards.
The requirements and activities were designed to motivate youth and recognize
more in-depth, advanced achievement in STEM-related activities.
For additional information visit www.scouting.org/stem

Good Turn for America
A service project is a special Good Turn that puts Scout spirit into action. Some Good Turns are
big—saving a life, helping out after floods or other disasters, recycling community trash,
working on conservation projects. But Good Turns are often small, thoughtful acts—helping a
child cross a busy street, going to the store for an elderly neighbor, cutting back brush that is
blocking a sign, doing something special for a brother or sister, or welcoming a new student
to your school. Anyone can get involved in a Good Turn. If you would like to participate in a
service project to benefit your community, contact your Unit Leader or Council Service
Center.
As part of the National Journey to Excellence program, Units, Districts and Councils are rated
on the amount of Community Service that is provided in any given year. Units should track
their community service hours through the Service Hours Reporting website.
Units will need to get their Unit ID Number (different than their Unit Number) from the Council
Website. Once they have logged in, units are asked to record their service project data, and
Eagle service project data. There are even Service Hour Reporting Certificates that can be
printed.
Please visit the following page to find your Unit ID Number and to report your Unit’s Hours:
www.illowabsa.org/Service%20Hours
Journey to Excellence
"Scouting's Journey to Excellence" is the BSA's council performance recognition program
designed to encourage and reward success and measure the performance of our units,
districts, and councils. It replaced the Centennial Quality Awards Program as a means of
encouraging excellence in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA.

At our last Scout Summer Camp, we asked our Scouts to complete this statement.
I’m having fun and have learned…..

How to shoot a hand gun properly, what to do if someone is drowning, and how to handle emergencies.

The many ways of cutting wood with knives, what I need to survive, and working better with others.

The counselors are AWESOME! I hope pistol becomes a merit badge. It would be educational and fun.

Climbing terms and methods, the importance of ecosystems, rifle care and kayaking paddle strokes.
It’s awesome!

How to survive in the wild and how to be prepared for an emergency.

How to get back into a canoe after you have been tossed out of it. It was hard at first but I eventually
accomplished it. I also learned how to survive in the wilderness and build my own shelter.

About leadership. I’m a Star Scout, and since our troop’s SPL is not here I’ve had to take charge as
acting SPL.

A lot of fun and important things. The merit badges are really fun. I got to finish my Tenderfoot at
camp! It is great for finishing requirements.

How to do CPR for swimming and getting over my fear of diving deep down.

I have learned how to shoot and clean a gun safely. I have also learned about mammals and what
Indians did and what they lived in.
Make sure your Scouts get a Summer Camp Experience!

Committees to get your Scouts on the COPE course
or the climbing wall.

Try to find your way through at the new
Geocaching course.

Check out the Camp’s mountain bikes and
ride through the many trails or create your own
Pack or Troop bike-a-thon.


your Scouts backpack their gear down for an
overnight campout.

to offer!
