President Bush Receives Scouts Affected By Tornado at Little Sioux Scout Ranch
In a ceremony honoring recipients of the "Scouts in Action" commendation, President Bush opened The White House doors today and warmly greeted the 114 Scouts who exhibited bravery during the June 11th tornado that swept trough Iowa's Little Sioux Scout Ranch.
"We are honored by this recognition from President Bush and thrilled to visit The White House. We appreciate the President's support and are grateful for his tribute to the courageous actions taken in response to the tornado at Little Sioux Ranch," said Lloyd Roitstein, Mid-America Council's Scout Executive. "The situation at Little Sioux Scout Ranch underscores the value of what we teach and accomplish through Scouting."
Hosted by the National Capital Area Council (NCAC), this trip was made possible through donations to both the Mid-America Council and NCAC. Following the Scouts' visit with President Bush, this action-packed day included a tour of the Boy Scout Memorial, World War II Memorial and Washington Monument conducted by the National Park Service, lunch at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce followed by a tour of the United States Capitol by Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE), and dinner at the NCAC's Camp William B. Snyder in Haymarket, Virginia.
Boy Scouts of America president and Mid-America Council Board member John Gottschalk said, "Some have referred to our "Scouts in Action" as heroes. In out hearts, we know they are. But, what is so remarkable is that they were doing what they were trained and prepared to do. The were doing what comes naturally to a Scout."
Commenting on the Scouts' visit, Alan Lambert, Scout Executive for the NCAC said, "We are delighted to host our fellow Scouts and Scouters from Little Sioux Ranch here in our nation's capital. In doing so, we remember their bravery and especially those who lost their lives."

WEBELOS ACHIEVMENTS
The Webelos Badge is for boys who have completed third grade, or who are ten years old. The Webelos rank is the first step in a boy's transition towards a Boy Scout troop. As he completes the requirements in the Webelos Scout Book, he will work on Activity Badges. These are age-appropriate projects for older Cub Scouts. Activity badges are sorted into five discipline-related groups. They are the Community Group, the Mental Skills Group, the Outdoor Group, the Physical Skills Group, and the Technology Group. Activity Badges can be displayed on the front of the Webelos cap or on the Webelos Colors. During this period, the Webelos Scout should also begin to attend meetings led by adults, and become more familiar with the Boy Scout requirements.
After earning the Webelos badge, the Webelos Scout may recieve the Compass Points emblem and gold 'devices' to pin on it as an incentive to complete additional Activity Badges.
Completion of the Forester, Outdoorsman, and Naturalist Activities Badges, and completion of a special consevation project allows a Webelos Scout to join the Wolves and Bears in earning the World Conservation Award as well.

TIGER CUB SCOUT ACHIEVEMENTS
TIGER CUB SCOUT ACHIEVEMENTS
Starting the path to the Tiger Cub Rank, a scout first earns the Bobcat badge - this is the first step for all Cub Scouts.
But, a Tiger Cub will really earn his Tiger Cub Totem first because its requirements are very simple and it gives him something tangible to receive at the first pack meeting, even if he did not complete all the Bobcat requirements. The Tiger Cub Totem requirements are:
* Learn the Cub Scout Motto
* Learn the Cub Scout Sign
* Learn the Cub Scout Salute
He can then use the totem to display his achievement beads as he earns them.
The Tiger Cub badge is presented to boys who have completed all 15 parts of the five separate achievements - five Family activities, five Den activities, and five Go See It outings. Once a boy, or all the boys in a den, earn their Tiger Cub badge, it should be presented to the scout's adult partner at a pack meeting, who then presents it to the boy. The badge is sewn on the left pocket of the Tiger Scout uniform.
The den activities and Go See It events should be completed with the entire den. Attendance at den events is important - for both the scout and adult partner. Of course, if a scout has a conflict with a den event, he can perform that activity with his adult partner at some other time.
Tip: While your scout is working on advancement, his den leader will track his progress on the Tiger Cub Den Advancement Chart. Make this easier by tracking progress in the Tiger Trail chart of the Tiger Scout handbook. Have your tiger bring his book to every den meeting so the den leader can transfer marks from book to chart.
Tip: Keep in mind that participation is the key goal of the Tiger Cub program. There is no level of competence or skill required to earn the rank badge. Don't push your scout to succeed, just participate and enjoy the time together.
