THESE GIFTS REALLY ARE APPRECIATEDThese days, there are many ways for you to make gifts to the Heart of America

Council. If you are like most people, however, you think only of cash gifts in sup-port of Scouting. As valuable as cash gifts are for the Council, gifts of appreciatedproperty may be more beneficial for many people to give than cash.

Do you have any stocks, bonds, land, or other assets that may have appreciatedin value? If you sold one of these items you would probably owe capital gains tax onthe difference between the fair market value and what you paid for the property.This means less money for you to contribute, reinvest, or spend.

By contributing the property directly to the Heart of America Council you mayreceive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the property that you are con-tributing. Even if the property has appreciated in value, you won’t owe any capitalgains tax on the gift. If you use appreciated property to create a charitable incometrust, you receive the same benefits.

Whether you have stock, land, artwork, antiques, vintage cars, or other types ofappreciated property, contact us about the advantages of making these gifts to yourlocal council. Your gifts will be appreciated, in more ways than one!

Please contact Jason Baxendale at 816-942-9333 ext. 129.

STANDARDS FOR PRIVACY ON TRIPS OR OUTINGS

To support the BSA policy of two-deep leadership on all trips or outings, wemust address the sleeping arrangements of male and female leaders.

All leaders are expected to reflect high moral standards established by customs,traditional values, and religious teachings.

Male and female leaders require separate sleeping facilities. Married couplesmay share the same quarters if appropriate facilities are available.

Male and female youth participants must not share the same sleeping facility.When tents are used, no youth will stay in the tent of an adult other than his/herparent or guardian.

When housing other than tents are used, separate housing must be provided forboth male and female participants. Adult male leaders must be responsible for the maleparticipants. Adult female leaders must be responsible for the female participants.

Adult leaders need to respect the privacy of youth members in situations wherethe youth are changing clothes or taking showers, and intrude only to the extent thathealth and safety require. Adults also need to protect their own privacy in similarsituations.

Although it is not mandatory, councils are strongly encouraged to have separateshower and latrine facilities for females. In camps where separate facilities are notavailable, separate shower schedules for males and females should be posted. Use thebuddy system for latrine use by having one person wait outside the entrance or useOccupied and Unoccupied signs on door latches.

CUB SCOUT TRIPS AND EXCURSIONSTrips or excursions by Cub Scout packs under chartered organization leader-

ship are a recognized part of the Cub Scout program when conducted in accor-dance with established procedures.

Permits for such tours shall be issued locally or nationally, depending on thedistance traveled.

The National Council has established the following guidelines:• Trips normally will be one-day excursions.• Although overnight stays are permitted, they are not encouraged.• When overnight stops are necessary, participants will stay in private

homes, motels, or hotels. The local council may approve lock-ins orovernight programming at local museums.

• Den leaders, pack leaders, and parents are expected to accompany theboys on approved trips.

• Tiger Cubs are limited to boy-parent excursions or program-managedfamily camping designed for the entire family unit.

It is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that only one adult may never leadtrips and outings.

TROOP 83 SCOUT SAVES THE DAY

On a rainy May day Troop 83 Scout Jared Jones was doing what exemplifiesScouting. During a downpour in Olathe, Jared noticed a home with elderly residentsfrom California was about to experience flooding waters heading for their basement.The home owners unaccustomed to Kansas rain storms were alerted by Jared. Alongwith his father, Jared set to work with mechanical pumps and ditches to re-direct thewater toward the street and storm drains, thus protecting the home from seriousflooding. Without Jared’s quick response, this situation could have been much worst.The family affected by Jared’s actions call him a hero. Jared, a 6th grade RidgeviewElementary student did what any good Scout would do, without hesitating. Weshould feel proud to call Jared a fellow Scout, for he exemplifies the true meaning ofScouting. WELL DONE, JARED!!

So, everyone who needsany training should plan on attendingthe essentials, and your new cub leadersshould plan on staying for both. Bring$2.00 for the cost of your lunch. Thisis a very important part of Scouting.Units with trained leaders will offer abetter program, have a stronger unitand will retain more of their member-ship than units without trained leaders.
