00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:02.799
Hey, good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome,

2
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:05.759
welcome to time now for our community
connection right here on K one,

3
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.839
the one you trust, and we're
talking Boy Scouts of America and we got

4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.400
the right stuff in here. How
you doing this right? Oh, Je's

5
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.960
great, wonderful be here. Thank
you so much for having especial Thanks for

6
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:23.280
making that journey all the way down
the road. Everybody knows where the Boy

7
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.160
Scout Council's right there on up all
right down to run. But we've got

8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.039
a lot of good things going on
here. First of all, we do

9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.320
have a Scouting golf tournament, but
we also have a beautiful story to tell

10
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:40.960
because you provided me with our annual
report for twenty twenty two, and this

11
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:46.039
year has been another banner year for
Boy Scouts locally. Yes, yes,

12
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.960
And I want to start off number
one. I want to say big thank

13
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.880
you to Unite Away. Unit Away
is a great supporter, and we just

14
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.560
want to say thank you to all
of our board members, all of our

15
00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:00.920
volunteers. It literally takes a village
to keep Scouting a lie even to make

16
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.400
sure that our youth have the best, strongest quality program to grow in this

17
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.799
community. And you know Our golf
Torment is part of that process. It

18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.239
allows us to raise funds so that
this fall, I'll go this fall to

19
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.840
get three hundred and six new Scouts, and so to do that it takes

20
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.280
all of us, and golf Terment
is one of the ways in which we

21
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.959
start that process of providing funding to
help our youth. And so wow,

22
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.959
yeah, three hundred, how many? Three hundred and six? I'll go

23
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.040
with three hundred and sie undred and
six? Okay, I know that there

24
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.879
are communities that can't get that in
five years. Yes, and we're very

25
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.120
blessed here in Bartlesville because you know, we take care of our Scouts and

26
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:45.799
the Scouts take care of us.
That's right, that's right. We of

27
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:52.560
course, you got a beautiful year
in review. Fourteen recipients of the Supernova

28
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.480
Award. Correct, tell everybody what
that's all about. Yeah, So the

29
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.239
Supernova Awards. So a lot of
a lot of us have famide with the

30
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.359
Eagle Scout Award. Yeah, at
a Scout BSA level and and and these

31
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.799
all teenagers, uh um. But
the Supernova UM this one is at the

32
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.919
Cup Scout level. So these are
UM fifth graders, uh, these are

33
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.800
fourth graders. Um. That are
working and going the extra mile. UM.

34
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.240
They don't just work with a supernova
counselor. They have to do projects,

35
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.360
they have to work on science.
UM. The percentage of Scouts that

36
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:30.800
get a supernov um to the print
perspective UM. Last year in the state

37
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.719
of Oklahomer less than a hundred cup
Scouts received a supernov award. So first

38
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.080
at fourteen in this Council's just amazing
and I want to I want to thank

39
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:49.159
the great leaders uh Becky Rays and
her team UM cup Masters d lan Um

40
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.520
Uh that really came in and took
the supernova program and gave the Scouts the

41
00:02:53.520 --> 00:03:00.639
opportunity to earn and work and continue
to work on the require means that again

42
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.479
because it's a lot of work,
it's a lot of sacrifice. The parents

43
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.759
have to help and UM. But
once she achieved it, it is It

44
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.159
is one of the highest honors for
a Cup Scott of weed Blow Scott at

45
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.479
this level to earn. Philip,
you also did something that's really outstanding too.

46
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:22.520
You began your sustainability and recycling initiative. Oh yes, and you guys

47
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.039
want a big award for that.
We did, We did, we did.

48
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.400
Uh been Country Nonprofit of the Year
last year. UM. Uh.

49
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.280
And again it takes a team.
We have a wonderful team. UM.

50
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.520
It was about it, probably about
eighteen months ago that one of our staff

51
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.879
member, Stephanie Cook, came nothing
said hey, look we you know we're

52
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.800
teaching sustainability. Um, what can
we do to to to project that and

53
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:50.759
do more? And so um from
small meetings, we basically not have two

54
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.000
recycling centers, one here on Quapa
and then one at Kemmi Clintock. And

55
00:03:54.479 --> 00:04:00.560
we went from basically recycling and recyclings
a lifestyle us you know, UM our

56
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.960
staff meetings or paperleists. You know, we we we we try our best

57
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:10.840
to reduce our waste. UM.
We went from basically zero recycling to everything

58
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.279
about two or three sacks, those
big sacks per week. And so it's

59
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:24.079
the community coming together and and uh
finding ways to be uh to to reduce

60
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.519
our waste. Uh and and to
conserve and and uh. Um it's a

61
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.160
lifestyle. Some other things I'm reading
here because I'm not sure. I don't

62
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:38.839
know, I know the h the
jargon. UH. The Council was the

63
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:45.639
first in a market share with NST
eight with three point three nine percent of

64
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.040
available youth Northeast Oklahoma where the standard
is two percent. What does NST stand

65
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.319
for? Yeah, that's our National
Service territory Okay, yeah, there are

66
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.680
sixteen of them across the United States. And I was a NST eight.

67
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.160
That's Service Ortory eight, which covers
all of Oklahoma, Arkansas and then part

68
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:09.000
of Texas North Texas. So we
have in our territory. We also have

69
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.439
like Dallas, which is circled ten
so for us to have a market share,

70
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.639
um, Dallas. Yes, wow, yeah, yeah, I knew

71
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.680
that there was something big in there, and thank you for finding that one

72
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:29.600
for also top ten percent in ethnic
diversity correct area too, correct as a

73
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.279
moustone and uh, we have this
great leadership. Our goal as a council

74
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.040
is to go to every community and
and and give every commune opportunity to be

75
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.680
in scouting and so um, you
know we have a great team of leaders,

76
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.800
uh scout Masters and cup Masters and
and they're volunteers as well. And

77
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:54.319
so with training, um, we
continue to push the envelope to go into

78
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.519
more and more communities. And you
have a repeat here with the highest female

79
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.759
diversity correct. Yes, yeah,
we're very very proud of as a matter

80
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:08.480
of fact. Tonight it's our annual
council UH banquet and we have sixteen Eagle

81
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:13.560
Scouts that earned the rank of Eagle
Scouts, Yes, and UH two of

82
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.920
our female We're very proud of all
of our Eagle Scouts. Now we have

83
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:24.040
three female legal Scouts in the council
and UH female diversity along with ECNO diversity

84
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.879
again, continue to continue to bring
Scouting to more youth in our communities.

85
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.920
Now you're a scholarship program or something
else too, that's a big Oh.

86
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:38.000
Extremely proud of our scultarship program.
Again, the community helping and UH it

87
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:43.279
takes all of us and UH this
year at the Natural Jamboree and we have

88
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:49.160
eighteen Scouts and parents going to the
jamboree, and we're very proud of the

89
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:57.600
fact that over eighteen thousand dollars was
raised for UM scholarships for for our youth

90
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:02.040
to go to jamboree, which is
a very UM expensive but very worthwhile.

91
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.079
Oh. Yeah, I beent you
that you'll remember for the rest of your

92
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.079
life as you will. I'm going
to tell you what. We're going to

93
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.000
take a little bit of a break
here and we're gonna tie it up dare

94
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.240
I say that tee it up here
in just a moment here as we talk

95
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:20.040
about the big golf tournament coming our
way to help the Boy Scouts of America

96
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.480
right here in Bartlesville and in our
area, to keep going on the path

97
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.560
that they're on. We'll be back
after these words from Arnold Moore and DeCamp

98
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.199
Funeral Home on K one. Pre
needs are completely transferable in the United States

99
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.920
from funeral home to funeral home,
and in Oklahoma that's especially true without any

100
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.439
penalty at all. For instance,
if you decide you're going to retire and

101
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.759
move to another state, and you
find a funeral home that you're comfortable with

102
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.279
elsewhere, you can take that already
set up free need that you have at

103
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.560
funeral home A and transfer it to
funeral home being there's no problem doing that.

104
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:54.680
Tim Howell Arnold Moore and DeCamp Funeral
Home. Sixty seventy years ago,

105
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.720
Bob Farmer died Joe business owner now
Joe business owner. How to sign USA

106
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.319
closed for the funeral of Bob Farmer
back at three pm. Hung it on

107
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.519
his door, closed his door.
No one would steal that sign. He

108
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.279
would go to the funeral as with
many of Bob's friends. Now, if

109
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.560
you're a grandson, you have to
have proof that Grandpa died so you can

110
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.879
get paid for that day of leave. I've said it a hundred times.

111
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.079
Death is an inconvenience to twenty first
century America. But it's nine at Arnold

112
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.560
Moore and knee Camp Funeral Home.
It'll be all right. We'll walk through

113
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.240
this together. Arnold Moore and Knee
Camp Funeral Home. Seven ten Dewey Bartels

114
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.440

talking with Philip right here from the
Cherokee Airing a Council Boy Scouncil of America.

117
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.360
We told you the big success story
of this past year. But we

118
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:54.399
got to keep these successes going and
we need a little help. And when

it, so UM and especially with

152
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.840
Thanksgiving and the fall and all that, we just know that it's a very

153
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.919
good product. And then we also
have our calendar. We have a Coundar

154
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.519
program that we we're adding to it
which allows for the Scouts to earn more

155
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.320
commission with the counter program because the
local program. But we're just excited about

156
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.320
our product mix for this fall and
again allows our youth to help earn their

157
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.799
way as well. And then that's
probably one of the values in Scouting um

158
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.840
is that you're earning your way and
that's a lesson that you'll care for the

159
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.159
rest of your life. I don't
want it develops a confidence, develops,

160
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.240
a you know, great great deal
of interpersonal skills and things like that.

161
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.399
So you know, you guys are
on such a hot streak. We have

162
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.480
a great board. We have a
great board and great staff and uh,

163
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.720
you know, and a great community
and we want to thank everybody and thank

164
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.440
you not a way again and all
of our board members and our volunteers because

165
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.440
it's amazing. We look at the
longevity about Scout Masters, the longer about

166
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.879
cup Masters and UH and what they
bring, the quality of programming that they're

167
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.600
bringing back, and just the support
of the community on the board and our

168
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.960
team. Our staff have a great
staff, and that's what makes you know,
