Introduction
Dear Chester County Council Scouting Family,
It is our pleasure to present to you the Annual Program Planning Guide,
a series of resources, opportunities, and interactions that will help you, as
Scouts and Leaders, to plan an ‘Ideal Year of Scouting.’
The Covid 19 Pandemic has been a challenge for all of us, but we remain
confident that together, through Scouting, we will emerge stronger, with
greater skills to foster our youth to become responsible, participating citizens
and leaders who are guided by the Scout Oath and Law.
Throughout our rich, 102-year history as a Council, we have consistently
provided a top-notch program for the young people of Chester and Cecil
Counties in which they can learn, grow, and flourish. Through the great
work of our enthusiastic professional staff, dedicated volunteers, and
gracious donors, we are able to offer these life-changing opportunities.
Historic and picturesque Horseshoe Scout Reservation is our cornerstone,
a property that allows Scouts and Scouters to experience the outing part of
Scouting close to home, and provides year-round weekend and summer
camping, training courses, and special events all in one place.
In 2021, the Council’s new home, the Program, Activity, and Resource
Campus (PARC) in Exton, PA is opening as our brand new hub for Scouting
in Chester and Cecil Counties. Countless hours have been spent planning
for this facility and the programs to go along with it. We are excited to share
this new chapter with you.
As you plan your ’Ideal Year of Scouting’ as families and units, we want
to thank you for everything that you do for our Scouts and families. The
devotion and efforts of local level volunteers like you are the reason for
Chester County Council’s success.
See you on the Scouting Trail!
The Chester County Council Leadership Team

Steps to Planning Great Program
Annual Program Planning
Your Unit’s Annual Program Plan = Satisfied Scouts and Families = A Lifelong Love of Scouting
A common element of strong units is that they all have a good annual program planned a year in advance that is then
shared with families in the form of a calendar. This helps to attract new Scouts and families to your unit and, if done
right, generates more buy-in and engagement from your Scouting families.
Ideally, unit program planning happens in June or July of the calendar year. Before the planning meeting, the Committee
Chair and the key unit leader (Cubmaster/Scoutmaster/Advisor/Skipper) should gather the following:
1. Key School dates (events, breaks, holidays, etc.) 5. District and Council Dates
2. Community event dates 6. Collected Family Talent Survey Sheets from all parents
3. Your chartered organization’s dates 7. Last year’s unit annual plan, if you have one
4. Personal dates that may affect your unit’s activities 8. Journey to Excellence Scorecard/Information
(such as a certain leader being unavailable for
meetings or trips)
To maximize the efficiency of your planning, the following people should attend the conference:
1. All unit committee members 5. Parents that you think might be helpful
2. All unit leaders 6. Den Chief (Packs)
3. Chartered Organization Representative 7. Youth Leaders such as SPL, ASPL, Patrol Leaders or
4. Your Unit Commissioner President or Vice Presidents (Scouts BSA &
Venturing
If you choose, there are electronic program planning conference guides available online to help you through the process.
The process follows the following steps:
STEP 1: Take the dates collected and put them into your unit’s master calendar—either on hard copy or by plugging the
information into an electronic calendar.
STEP 2: Before you begin rounding out the master calendar with things you want to do, review what the unit did last
year. You might even want to write what you come up with on a flip chart or dry erase board. Ask yourself questions
like: What events went well? What events didn’t go so well? Did we earn the Journey to Excellence Award? How was
attendance? What camping trips did we take? Did we sell popcorn and nuts and Camp Cards?
STEP 3: Do some brainstorming on activities your unit may want to do. These could be things such as trips, trainings,
celebrations, or service projects. Remember the brainstorming rule, which is anybody can suggest anything without
critique or criticism. Feedback and analysis come later, after all the ideas have been captured. Involve your youth, even
at a Pack level, to have them tell you what they find interesting! Once finished, take a vote on the activities to include on
the calendar.
STEP 4: By now, the calendar should be taking shape. It should include school and community dates, holidays, some
personal conflict dates, activities, and district and council dates. Now assign the person who will be responsible for each
event! Remember that good planning and preparation will lead to satisfied Scouts
and families.
STEP 5: Review your annual plan to ensure you have captured everything. Once
you feel comfortable, publish or email your plan to each family. Sharing the annual
plan with your families could be the most important step. It shows everything that
the unit is doing and should also help to explain how fundraising is a key part in
making all of these plans go.
STEP 6: Annual Program Planning is an ongoing process. Review the plan each
month at your committee meeting and make sure you stay on track. Recruit chairs
and volunteers to help one another and make assignments as needed! A great
program plan leads to a great unit!

meetings and outings, working on recruiting and retaining members, holding
fundraisers and everything in between, your time is sparse! In order to serve
you better, below is a listing of who to contact for help when you need it.
If your question or concern doesn’t seem to fit anything below, feel free to

17Religious Emblems Program
A Scout is reverent. They are reverent
toward God. They are faithful in their
religious duties and respects the convictions
of others in matters of custom and religion.
To encourage members to grow stronger in
their faith, religious groups have developed
religious emblems programs. The Boy
Scouts of America has approved of these
programs and allows the emblems to be
worn on the official uniform. The various
religious groups administer the programs.

Bossong, Council Religious Emblems

22Wood Badge 2022
April 22-24 and May 21-22, 2022
Camp John H. Ware, III and Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation
On the morning of Sept. 8, 1919, a retired British Army General stepped to the center of a
clearing in Gilwell Park, outside of London. He raised to his lips the horn of a Great Kudu,
one of Africa’s largest Antelopes. He blew a long sharp blast and the 19 Scouters gathered in
patrols for the first training course for Scout leaders. Robert Baden-Powell, realized trained
leaders would be the key to scouting’s success. At the end of the training program Baden-
Powell looked for a suitable recognition. He chose the wooden beads from the Chieftain’s
necklace and put them on a leather bootlace, a symbol of good luck. The training course and
recognition became known as the “Wood Badge.” The tradition continues!
Who should attend Wood Badge?
Wood Badge has been developed for Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Venturing leaders,
as well as professional and volunteer leaders at all levels. The course content and
leadership principles apply to all Scouters and will provide a common foundation
of leadership skills to be used throughout all program areas.
What is Wood Badge?
Wood Badge is advanced leadership and life skills training beginning with the
outdoor experience, consisting of living the Scouting program. Through living in
a Scouting atmosphere for an extended period, Scouters develop a deeper
understanding of the program that can have a profound influence on the lives of
youth in our communities.
Chester County Council is proud to partner with the Hawk Mountain Council to
bring this advanced leadership training to life! Bringing together leaders from
both councils and using the camps from both councils, Wood Badge is a great
opportunity for developing ourselves and Scouting!

27Youth Protection
The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance
on creating the most secure environment possible for our
youth members. To maintain such an environment, the
BSA has developed numerous procedural and leadership
selection policies and provides parents and leaders with
resources for all levels of the program.
Being a leader in the BSA is a privilege, not a right. The
quality of the program and the safety of our youth members
call for high-quality adult leaders. The adult application
requests background information that should be checked
by the unit committee or the chartered organization before
accepting an applicant for unit leadership. Additionally,
national criminal background checks are conducted on all
adult leaders through the BSA.
Additional background clearances are also required per Pennsylvania law, which applies only
to Pennsyvania Residents. See https://www.cccbsa.org/resources/pa-background-checks/ for
addditonal information.
Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers 18 and older in the Boy
Scouts of America and must be taken every year. New adult leaders cannot register unless
they submit proof with their application that they have completed Youth Protection
Training, which is available online at My.Scouting.org.
