CONEJO COURIER
FROM YOUR KEY 3 (This month’s article is written by Rod Lang, your District Commissioner)
Greetings, Conejo Valley: Summer is over and fall is now upon us. Fall is a wonderful time of the year; children back to school, leaves changing colors, cooler weather, football and POPCORN and RECHARTER TIME.
Yes Scouters, the 2015 Popcorn season is in full force and units are now taking the product out to the community. As has been repeated often, selling Popcorn is a great unit fund raising opportunity and
helps teach our youth important communication and sales skills. The marketing of Popcorn is not about the product, we all know it's less expense elsewhere, but it's about supporting youth and Scouting in the broader community.
Unit recharter packets were passed out at our September Roundtable. Units can begin their online recharter process on October 1st. Units will have until November 20th to have their online process completed and all documentation in the package signed-off and returned to their Unit Commissioner for submission to Council. Included in each unit's recharter packet is a list of all registered adults and their respective Youth Protection Training (YPT) status. To reiterate, all registered adults must have a current YPT. Adults who have YPT expiring between October 1-December 31, 2015 will need to have their YPT updated to be considered registered in 2016.
For Troops, the recharter packet also includes the annual Journey to Excellence (JTE) scorecard. Troops have the opportunity to earn Bronze, Silver or Gold status based on their overall JTE score. The scorecard measures a troop's progress in four dimensions: planning and budget, membership, program and volunteer leadership.
One final comment on the recharter process. The cost for insurance has been raised to $1.00 for the year from $0.80. Good luck to all units.
RISKY BUSINESS (By Georgine Herd)
This month, we’re concentrating on lightning safety and offering advice of reducing the risk of being struck by it. Many of us enjoy the rain, and especially listening to the sounds of thunder, and watching the skies for lightning – but, remember, lightning is extremely dangerous and can kill – and even those who survive a lightning strike are often left with permanent and serious disabilities. The best advice is “when thunder roars, go indoors.”
Don’t be fooled by blue skies. If you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to pose an immediate threat. Each year in the United States, more than 400 people are struck by lightning.
To avoid being struck by lightning, NOAA’s National Weather Service recommends that you: • Go indoors at the first sign of a thunderstorm. • Stay indoors for 30 minutes after the last thunder clap before resuming outdoor activities. • Monitor the weather forecast when you’re planning to be outdoors. • Have a plan for getting to safety in case a thunderstorm moves in. • Stay away from isolated tall trees, towers, or utility poles. Lightning tends to strike the tallest
objects in an area.
There is little you can do to substantially reduce your risk if you are outside in a thunderstorm. The only completely safe action is to get inside a safe building or vehicle.
If you absolutely cannot get to safety, you can slightly lessen the threat of being struck with the following tips. But don't kid yourself--you are NOT safe outside. Know the weather patterns of the area you plan to visit. For example, in mountainous areas, thunderstorms typically develop in

the early afternoon, so plan to hike early in the day and be down the mountain by noon. Listen to the weather forecast for the outdoor area you plan to visit. The forecast may be very different from the one near your home. If there is a high chance of thunderstorms, stay inside.
• Avoid open fields, the top of a hill or a ridge top. • Stay away from tall, isolated trees or other tall objects. If you are in a forest, stay near a
lower stand of trees. • If you are in a group, spread out to avoid the current traveling between group members. • If you are camping in an open area, set up camp in a valley, ravine or other low area.
Remember, a tent offers NO protection from lighting. • Stay away from water, wet items, such as ropes, and metal objects, such as fences and
poles. Water and metal do not attract lightning but they are excellent conductors of electricity. The current from a lightning flash will easily travel for long distances.
The safest and most obvious place to be in a thunderstorm is indoors. If lightning strikes a house or a building directly, it will tend to follow the available paths to ground, including the elec-trical wiring, plumbing, cable or telephone lines. Below are some key safety tips for you, your pets and your home. There are three main ways lightning enters structures: a direct strike, through wires or pipes that extend outside the structure, and through the ground. Lightning can also travel through any metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring.
• Stay off corded phones. You can use cellular or cordless phones.
• Don't touch electrical equipment such as computers, TVs, or cords. You can use remote controls safety.
• Avoid plumbing. Do not wash your hands, take a shower or wash dishes.
• Stay away from windows and doors that might have small leaks around the sides to let in lightning, and stay off porches.
• Do not lie on concrete floors or lean against concrete walls.
• Protect your pets: Dog houses are not safe shelters. Dogs that are chained to trees or on metal runners are particularly vulnerable to lightning strikes.

PHILMONT INFORMATION Rod Lang is the Philmont Ambassador our District. Contact him at 805.341.8278 or [email protected] for more information on opportunities below:
� PHILMONT EXPEDITION UNIT REGISTRATION FOR 2017
Unit reservation requests for 2017 Expeditions (12-day and 7-day) for Philmont Scout Ranch (PSR) will be made online beginning Wednesday, October 28 thru Wednesday, November 18, 2015. This is strictly a random draw: an entry on October 28, 2015 will be treated equally as an entry on November 18, 2015. Reservations will not be assigned in the order that requests are made. Reservations will be picked randomly by computer after December 1st. Special note: Boy Scouts Troops, Varsity Teams, Venturing Crews, and Explorer Posts who have officially been on the Wait List for the past four consecutive years (2013-2016) will be given priority treatment. These units still need to place an entry for themselves at this time and the system will grant a reservation before the other requests are randomly consid-ered.
Units may make only one reservation request during this process. However, the request may be made for consideration of multiple arrival dates. Please do not attempt to make duplicate reservation requests.
Unit representatives may log on to http://registerphilmont.org/2017 beginning Wednesday, October 28. The system will allow the unit representative to create a password to allow changes or corrections to the unit reservation entry anytime during the reservation request window. The representative will receive a confirmation email at the conclusion of the re-quest process. Only one record is kept on file for each unit.
After the computer selection process is completed, an email will be sent to each representa-tive giving them their unit's status. You should receive this email no later than 12/4/15.

� PHILMONT TRAINING CENTER, 2016 CONFERENCES AND FAMILY PROGRAM
The 2016 schedule of classes and conferences at the Philmont Training Center (PTC) is now available on-line at [email protected]. The PTC has served as the National Training Center for the Boy Scouts of America since 1950. A variety of week-long conferences will be conducted for unit, district and council volunteers and profession-als. I will also have the 2016 Conference Guide available at Roundtables, District meetings, and soon, at the Scout Shop at Council headquarters.
Over 80 separate week-long conferences are scheduled over 11 weeks at the PTC, and are designed to cover almost every aspect of Scouting - from Cub Scouting and Boy Scouts to District and Council Operations, from Venturing and Professional Development to Advance-ment and Finance. The conferences are conducted by various departments of the national council and are led by a faculty of outstanding volunteer and professional Scouters
Each weekly conference is designed to discuss specific Scouting issues, share information from all over the BSA, and train using the "best methods" that will enhance the Scouting pro-gram for youth and adults. While conference time important, ample opportunity for a Scouter to enjoy the majesty of Philmont with his or her family is part of the schedule of most conferences. I personally attended a training session this year which I found very informa-tive and a great opportunity to share with similar Scouters from across the country.
The Family Program: The PTC offers a full organized program for every member of the fam-ily - from infants to spouses. Family members are joined by others in their age group to par-ticipate in carefully designed, age-appropriate programs under the leadership of trained and experienced Philmont staff. The PTC staff will lead hikes, tours, handicrafts and other out-door activities.
• PHILMONT ADVISOR SKILLS SCHOOL (PASS)
The Philmont Advisor Skills School (PASS) is an exciting new program developed to better prepare adult advisors in confidently leading their crew in preparing for an upcoming Philmont trek.
� PSR-PASS: The first type occurs at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, NM. This four-day, three-night PASS program at Philmont will occur over different weekends during the fall of 2015. The scheduled dates are Friday, October 23rd - Monday, October 26th and Friday, October 30th - Monday, November 2nd. The cost is limited to 20 first-time adult advisors for each session. The cost to attend PSR-PASS course is only $76.00 and covers shuttle transportation to/from Denver: all other costs, i.e., lodging, gear, meals, materials, etc., is covered by Philmont.
� Field-PASS: The second PASS course will occur at various state parks and wilderness areas all over the country. This one-day, 10-hour course will give adult advisors a great introduction to Philmont and its backcountry camping practices. The Field-PASS program is limited to adult ad-visors only. The cost to attend Field-PASS course is $25.00 and covers a Philmont trail meal style lunch, dinner and PASS material.
If anyone in your respective is interested in attending either of these sessions, please con-tact Rod Lang, Philmont Ambassador (805-341-8278) or [email protected].
SCOUTING IN ACTION (submitted by Jeanette Fox of Troop 775))
On Saturday, August 22nd, Boy Scouts from Troops 775 and 787 were working on the Eagle pro-ject of Kyle Fox (T775) at a local Thousand Oaks pre-school when they noticed smoke at the far end of the parking lot. The scouts went to see what was going on, and came back to alert the adults that a small brush fire had started in the dry grass inside a fenced area of the school park-ing lot, just a short distance from a row of houses. Jeanette Fox called 911, while Boy Scout Kyle Fox ran around to the house closest to the fire to warn the homeowner. The homeowner was try-ing to spray water on the fire with his hose, when the fire fighters arrived and took over putting the fire out.
![Page 5: Conejo Courier #75 Oct 2015 - Jan 2016troopwebhost.blob.core.windows.net/troop730newbury... · The best advice is “when thunder roars, go indoors.” Don’t be fooled by blue skies](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f48fbfc4dbcdc5f5d6e4b82/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

A bigger fire was prevented thanks to the quick action of the Boy Scouts on site that day. Be-tween all involved, the fire was put out quickly. WAY TO GO, SCOUTS!
Special thanks to Boy Scouts Kyle Fox, Mark Sot-tile, Ryan Rittmeister, Gavin Rittmeister and Josh Gray. You were all calm in a serious situation and exhibited so many points of the Scout Law: Help-ful, friendly, courteous, kind, cheerful, thrifty and brave.
POPCORN SALE ACTIVITY (submitted by Jeanette Fox, Troop 775)
Troop 775 had a very successful popcorn kickoff on Saturday September 12th. We sold popcorn, ate pizza and treated the scouts to a pie-in-the-face event after they were done selling popcorn.

SCOUT OATH
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law: To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake and morally straight.
