any greater than it did today,

00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:39.960
We have a great staff and we

12
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.039
Challenge September sixteenth, and we want
to invite the public to come out and

13
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.960
join us because you'll be able to
kayak, you'll be able to use our

14
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:56.399
climbing wall, You're able to zip
line and run and enjoy the outdoors with

15
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.159
all of us. So, yes, that is great. At Osege Hill

16
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.479
State Park, so picturesque and just
so pristine. It's a great thing,

17
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.760
it really is. And of course, you know, you get the challenge

18
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.760
of doing something physical and the great
outdoors and have some fun with it.

19
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.000
Now, I've never done that zip
lining before, but that just looks like

20
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.719
who it is. It is.
It's the it's the ultimate challenge, you

21
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.480
know. So and then when you
combine it, you know, when you

22
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.560
combine it with ziplining, and when
you combine it with with kayaking, it

23
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.799
just takes you to a whole nother
level in terms of physical activity and join

24
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.879
the outdoors. You know, we're
celebrating one hundred and fourteen years of scouting

25
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.400
and what better way to celebrate with
us in the outdoors. My goodness.

26
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.480
Say, so this is open to
Scouts and uh, and how do we

27
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.760
find out? So it's open to
adults to come. Oh, adults can

28
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.719
do this, adults. This is
for adults. So basically, come to

29
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:49.120

33
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.359
right, Oh my goodness, the
great outdoors and it's gonna be great eight

34
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.159
am too, so in case it
is warm, we get through this before

35
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.080
it gets high. Oh yeah,
I mean, we're so blessed to be

36
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.080
in Oklahoma today. We have such
beautiful weather. And what a great way

37
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.439
to support Scouting and support our Scouting
programs right now we're going to our schools

38
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.240
and doing recruitment. What a great
way to kick that off by coming down

39
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.319
and join us in September now when
we go to the schools. I know

40
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.719
that that happens every year at this
time, correct, and it's always kind

41
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.360
of an exciting time. It really
is. It really is where where if

42
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.439
you think about it, educated will
tell you that, uh, you know,

43
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.840
having something to do to continue your
growth and development, and that's where

44
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:52.080
Scotting fits in. You know,
that character building, that leadership training all

45
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.840
at a young age. And so
our goal is to get as many Cup

46
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.000
Scouts as possible this fall so that
the cubs can come into the program and

47
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:07.879
later become Scout bsa youth and continue
to be part of our leadership program to

48
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.000
be leaders and better citizens for this
for this community as well. On time

49
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.400
for that, Yeah, you learn
a lot of things and you have fun

50
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.919
learning them and then you say,
dog got it. I learned something while

51
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.560
I was having fun. And on
top of that, you make friendships at

52
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.919
last a lifetime, a lifetime and
Thai lifetime. Yes, this is really

53
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.360
a cool thing. So if you've
got a youngster at home and you're thinking

54
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.560
that maybe Scouts would be a great
way to your broaden the horizons for your

55
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.039
youngster, I'll tell you, as
a former boy Scout, yes I was,

56
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.400
Yes, I was. This will
work for you and work to the

57
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.120
advantage of the entire family. Yes, because families become Scout exactly a family

58
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:52.240
program and a family program and Thai
family. And that's how that's how Scouts

59
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:57.439
really get the strongest potential of the
program is when the families involved. Well,

60
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.840
yeah, they get behind it and
they go all in and it's it's

61
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.680
it's a lot of fun, it
really is. And now Scotting is one

62
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.879
of those things people say, well, isn't that just for talent kids?

63
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:11.120
Isn't that just for you know,
kids that might have a leg up in

64
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.599
life. Now it's for everyone,
for everyone. To believe me, we

65
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.839
had a dirt floor. You ever
tried to sweep a dirt floor. Yeah,

66
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.000
you get the dirt, you know, you know, and I became

67
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.480
the scott. It worked out pretty
darn well. So this is a This

68
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.319
is really good because the lessons you
learn are things that are going to come

69
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.319
in handy throughout life. And it's
not necessarily tying it out, although that

70
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:40.519
will come in handy. But what
you'll learn is teamwork. You learn how

71
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:45.079
to take in knowledge, and you
learn how to become a provider of knowledge

72
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.959
for those who are coming up.
So you get to learn how to learn

73
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.639
and learn how to teach and do
with adversity. Yeah, you do,

74
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.959
because a lot of these challenges,
though they look like one, they come

75
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.040
to challenge exactly exactly. So you're
learning. You'll learning those those tools.

76
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.040
We call it putting putting things in
a toolbox because if we can, if

77
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.920
we can impact our youth with more
tools at an early age, then when

78
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.839
it become adults. For example,
our Maritor badge system, our Marrior bag

79
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.360
system, we have over one hundred
maryor badges that basically introduced scouts to careers.

80
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.279
So so now, for example,
you could have a scout that starts

81
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:26.920
out learning about for example, plumbing
for example, engineering and then decides,

82
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.000
you know what, I want to
be an engineer next. You know that

83
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.319
Scout could go on to become our
next prominent engineering town. So scouting provides

84
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:41.199
that early education, very early on, for youth to learn it does.

85
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:46.120
It also helps with problem solving,
and it shows you how to take a

86
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:51.959
very practical, pragmatic approach to seeing
a challenge and overcoming the challenge. And

87
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.639
if you've got a youngster who might
get just a little frustrated, as we

88
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.680
some adults do when met with challenge, this is a I'm not saying that

89
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.639
this is the best therapy in the
world, but I'm telling you it is

90
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.959
one of the better ones because you
learn how to just analyze that exactly at

91
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.480
a young age, at a very
young age, before it gets out of

92
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.800
control exactly. Yeah. So if
you get him in there at cub yes,

93
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.160
get him a little tiger, that's
right, and get him going up

94
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:23.240
there. Uh, you know,
they'll see these things is not just challenges

95
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.839
but aspirations, and they'll realize that
dreams are attainable and you can reach for

96
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.120
them correct And it's all up to
you whether or not you're gotta get them.

97
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.519
That's right. You can't anybody you
have to do to work that the

98
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.120
Scout has to do to work along
the way. What a what if opportunity

99
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.120
to start early on in life and
to to basically have a nut opportunity at

100
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.040
at being a better citizen, a
more productive citizen, to help our community

101
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.399
and continue to make Bodysville the best
place to live in America. Oh golly.

102
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.480
Yeah. And it is just such
a remarkable group that you have there

103
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.199
with you. You have a lot
of support from within the community and around

104
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.959
the community. And you know what, we also have some fun in our

105
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.360
fundraising. What kind of fundraising we're
doing right now, because so something needable

106
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.000
is going to be coming up?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

107
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.360
So in the fall we have we
have we have popcorn sales and we've we've

108
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.759
been in a park and sale for
for quite a while now. But we

109
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:23.639
also have milopy Con. This is
our second year do milopy Cons. MILOPYCNS

110
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.199

and they're delicious. They're delicious, you

111
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:31.199
know. So if you're thinking about
Thanksgiving meals and so forth, milopy CON's

112
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.720
a great combination that including there for
desserts and then also we have our calendar

113
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:42.279
which is our own Checkayre Council fundraiser
that we have and so we're just very

114
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:47.120
pleased to to have different options for
our Scouts and uh and what a strong

115
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:54.399
way to kick it off with our
bsa own Cheercare Council Scout Trade Adventure challenge

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.360
SunFest even and other things that happened
in our community, our Scouts a volunteers

178
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.200
there. Yeah, so there are
plenty visible well, and that's the thing

00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.480
we're just I want to say another
thank you again to our volunteers, because

180
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:28.120
it takes having great leaders, great
committee members that weekend week out Monday nights,

181
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.159
Tuesday nights, Wednesday night, meaning
the Scouts preparing the Scouts, training

182
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.879
the Scouts, and so I just
want to say another thank you to our

183
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:41.159
leadership, what it's at the unit
level or the board level or with United

184
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.200
Away, because again, it takes
an entire community to support our youth.

185
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.919
And here in Bodisville and in the
Check Care Council, we see that daily.

186
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.519
So I just want to say thank
you to our community for all that

187
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.399
you do. And we want to
thank say thanks for the Boy Scouts for

188
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.360
producing great, great citizens. Yeah, how many eagles you got coming in

189
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.279
there? So so last year we
had sixteen Eagle Scouts. That was one

190
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.480
of our record years and this year
we already have we're we're north of nine

191
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:13.559
already and uh, you know it's
only August, so you can tell what

192
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.159
October till December, December of these
projects to get projects in. So we're

193
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.159
we're very excited about the next group
of Eagle Scouts coming through and again continuing

194
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.279
that that legacy. Uh. We
had the honor of being at one Eagle

195
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.200
Scouts ceremonies past weekend Ray mc iver
and he became an Eagle and it was

196
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.720
just a pledge to see and an
honest see all people have supported him and

197
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.639
all the work that he did for
for his Eagle project and uh and his

198
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.440
entire Korean Scouting so which is very
proud of our Eagle Scouts. Yea.

199
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.720
You know there's one regret in life. I didn't I didn't do that and

200
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.840
I should have. But the scouting, like like I've told you over and

201
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.919
over again, UH got me on
a path to a better career in a

202
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:05.080
better way at a time when it
was probably at a cross rugs. So

203
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.600
so it worked out really well.
And that's what scouting us. That's what

204
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.120
Scouting us and that's why we want
more youth to have the opportunity to join.
