A SCOUTING CHALLENGE TO YOU IN 2004/2005 AND BEYOND

My fellow Scouters...there is a time when we as Scouters, have to step up to the plate and show other people and interests, that we are as strong as ever and will stick to our values. With the outside interests trying to change our values to fit theirs, its time we reinforce our own values. Please consider the task you are about to commit to as:

THE CHALLENGE!!!
Volunteer Scouters will serve in whatever capacity on a unit committee that needs help to implement the Scouting program. The length of time involved depends on the tasks you will be assigned. If you have started a new unit or life saved one, you should serve on that committee to make sure the committee is developing properly and the program is implemented. Here is the kicker! This will be done over and above the position you now hold. Also, it should not be your own unit. Thats right! Its the extra step. No one said it would be easy. Far too many of us have been away from the unit level. Its amazing how much we think we know and remember. Then we go back and work in the unit level, and realize how much we have forgotten. I know first hand. After several years away from the unit level, I helped start a new Cub Scout pack. In the three months time, I could not believe how much had changed and how much remained the same. The time has come for you to go back and serve another unit. Lets use our training to help the units implement a stronger Scouting program! What is your recognition? All of you participating will a receive a thank you on behalf of the Scouting University. Those of you attending the University in 2005 will be called up in front of the group to get an additional thank you. Please write down what you did and how successful you were. Have the unit chairman and the district commissioner or council commissioner sign it. Please return it to any of the following: The University Dean (Larry Bernstein) The host council (Northeast Illinois Council), Attn: Dean of the University Any University Steering Committee member, who will make sure it gets to the Dean Happy service!

PURPOSE
The purpose of Lord Baden-Powell University of Scouting (LBPU) is to provide introductory, supplemental, and advanced training for ALL functions in the council and district related to commissioner service, membership, finance, and program for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturing and Sea Scouting. Much of the specialization provided only at LBPU is the strength found in our offering this innovative curriculum. Some courses meet training requirements for various awards, including Commissioner Arrowhead and Scouter's Key. Courses offered address National, Regional, and Area programs of emphasis, local council concerns, and pertinent topics. Certain courses are offered on a rotational basis. Since 1990, LBPU has awarded over 1,800 non-accredited degrees, including more than 135 Doctoral Degrees and 60 Fellows of Scouting.

LETTER FROM THE DEAN

Dear Fellow Scouters, Welcome to the 16th annual Lord Baden-Powell University of Scouting, LBPU 2005. Last year was our first attempt at having the catalog on our website and it took a liitle longer than expected to get all of the bugs out. I am very pleased to be able to tell you that the catalog for LBPU-2005 is ready now. As you go through all of the pages of information, you will find everything you need to know (and probably a little more) about this year's program. Every year all participants are asked to complete course/instructor evaluation forms but probably never get to see the final results. The average scores for our instructors and the courses they teach are 4.6 out of 5 with many scoring perfect 5s. We also examine the physical plant evaluations very carefully and continually try to improve any areas where you think we fall short. Our goal every year is to be just a little better than the previous year and so far we have succeeded. LBPU-2005 will be my third and final year as Dean of the University and I am doing everything possible to make it the best ever. I am looking forward to seeing all of you in March. Yours in Scouting, Larry Bernstein, Dean Lord Baden-Powell University of Scouting
