Speaker 4: office nine one eight three three staates nine one seven
2:57
Speaker 4: zero or which is online, or come by the office,
3:01
Speaker 4: especially when it's no that I was coming in field.

Speaker 4: But more importantly, we're celebrating Scouting and twenty twenty four
3:08
Speaker 4: was a great year. We want to say a big,
3:11
Speaker 4: big thank you to all of our community members, our donors,
3:15
Speaker 4: United Way, our Scouts, our community. We ended up twenty
3:20
Speaker 4: twenty four number three in the nation and female diversity.
3:25
Speaker 4: It's amazing. We were just so honored and it goes
3:30
Speaker 4: back to show the leadership, the level of leadership that
3:32
Speaker 4: we have our Scout leaders, the work, the quality program
3:37
Speaker 4: that they're providing for our youth today, and we ended
3:40
Speaker 4: up also over two percent market share. One of the
3:42
Speaker 4: standard is to be above two percent market share for
3:45
Speaker 4: the seven year in a row. We're above two percent
3:47
Speaker 4: market share. So we're serving our community. We're trying to
3:50
Speaker 4: grow more Scouting and this patron dinner gives it the
3:53
Speaker 4: chance to jump start and serve more youth.
3:57
Speaker 5: We also ended the year with seventeen Eagle Scouts.
4:00
Speaker 4: So proud of the work that Eagle Scouts have done
4:02
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four and.
4:04
Speaker 2: They always have, Yes, a lot.
4:08
Speaker 4: We're really and and again it's a it's a big
4:12
Speaker 4: honor to see the community come together to help on
4:15
Speaker 4: those projects. Uh, to see the work that these young
4:18
Speaker 4: Scouts have done. It's just amazing.
4:20
Speaker 3: Thinking about going from that Pinewood Derby all the way
4:24
Speaker 3: to an Eagle Scout.
4:25
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, journey less than less than two percent, less
4:31
Speaker 4: than two percent nationwide, make it to Eagle and here
4:35
Speaker 4: in this council. The quality leadership that we have with
4:37
Speaker 4: three times over that average, So that's just amazing. The
4:41
Speaker 4: leadership of our Scout leaders is just I want to
4:43
Speaker 4: again just cannot say thank you enough for the work
4:45
Speaker 4: that they do day in day out with our Scouts,
4:48
Speaker 4: and that as a as a byproduct of that. For example,
4:53
Speaker 4: right after the Patron Dinner, which is next Thursday, the
4:56
Speaker 4: twenty seven, is our Merribag Festival and that's another way
5:00
Speaker 4: for our Scouts to get work on their merit badges.
5:03
Speaker 4: And then right after that the following week at the
5:05
Speaker 4: time with Derby. So we're really just starting a year strong,
5:09
Speaker 4: very strong, and I just want to say thank you.
5:12
Speaker 2: Sure.
5:12
Speaker 3: Well, it's a great program and you guys do impact
5:15
Speaker 3: you know everything from you know, your recycling program. It
5:19
Speaker 3: was another thing you guys do all year round. Oh
5:22
Speaker 3: and you know just it's a it is quite an
5:25
Speaker 3: impact you have on us here in Bartoshell.
5:27
Speaker 5: Right, let me tell you where again I want to.
5:29
Speaker 4: Say thank about community for their support. Four was an
5:33
Speaker 4: amazing year and sustainability and it all started about four
5:37
Speaker 4: years ago, very casually, literally thirteen years ago.
5:40
Speaker 5: Scouting made sustainability.
5:42
Speaker 4: A required merit badge for every scout going for Eagle
5:46
Speaker 4: and so Tiffany Cook, one of our staff members, came
5:49
Speaker 4: as about four years ago and said, look, why don't
5:52
Speaker 4: we do more as an office. You know, we're non profitable,
5:56
Speaker 4: why don't we do more? And so that conversation a lot,
6:00
Speaker 4: along with other partnerships, led us to opening up our
6:03
Speaker 4: first small recycling center.
6:05
Speaker 3: Right.
6:05
Speaker 4: We had four super sacks, one for callboard, one for
6:10
Speaker 4: aluminum aluminum cans, one for plastic, one one for plastic two.
6:14
Speaker 4: We started very small. In that first year, we did
6:17
Speaker 4: eleven hundred pounds. We were just so proud of the
6:21
Speaker 4: effort of the community.
6:23
Speaker 5: At the time.
6:23
Speaker 4: And that was in twenty twenty three. The following year,
6:28
Speaker 4: with all the support from the community, we went up
6:30
Speaker 4: to five five hundred pounds or recycling materials. That started
6:34
Speaker 4: to show us again, wow, this is you know, the
6:37
Speaker 4: community's embracing this.
6:40
Speaker 5: And then last year in twenty twenty.
6:42
Speaker 4: Four, as a community, we did over forty thousand pounds.
6:47
Speaker 3: Wow, so forty thousand pounds times as the year.
6:52
Speaker 4: Just incredible And I want to say thank you to
6:55
Speaker 4: our community for recycling with us. I want to say
6:57
Speaker 4: thank you to our scouts, our parents, our board are
7:00
Speaker 4: you not away for helping And we're not done yet.
7:02
Speaker 5: We're still growing.
7:03
Speaker 4: We're still growing and it's just amazing to see the
7:07
Speaker 4: impact on the environment that our office is having just
7:12
Speaker 4: right here on barhone.
7:14
Speaker 2: That's a neat, neat story that you just told us.
7:17
Speaker 2: And there you're on.
7:18
Speaker 3: So many young men and women are in the impacted
7:23
Speaker 3: by the program. You mentioned your market share, how many
7:27
Speaker 3: kids are in the council.
7:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we covered six counties. So we're very proud
7:32
Speaker 4: of the six counties that we cover. And we have
7:35
Speaker 4: two programs by Explored Program and then we have our
7:38
Speaker 4: Scout BSA program which includes our cup Scouts that's boys
7:43
Speaker 4: and girls from kindergarten to fifth grade. And then our
7:46
Speaker 4: Scout BSA goes from ten and a half all the
7:50
Speaker 4: way to eighteen. And so in that program we have
7:53
Speaker 4: we ended last year about six hundred and fourteen.
7:56
Speaker 5: In that registered Scouts and then.
8:00
Speaker 4: Where our goal this year in twenty twenty five is
8:03
Speaker 4: to grow back to over six hundred and fifty. And
8:05
Speaker 4: so what we're always looking for new churches, new partnerships
8:10
Speaker 4: because it really takes that.
8:12
Speaker 2: It does some centers to render gather.
8:15
Speaker 4: And the correct group leader and the leader leader and
8:20
Speaker 4: leaders I want to come and get the training.
8:22
Speaker 2: There is a lot of training.
8:24
Speaker 4: It's the most critical piece of it is if you
8:27
Speaker 4: have trained quality leader that that transfers into train quality
8:30
Speaker 4: program for you.
8:32
Speaker 5: We can get the youth, but the key is getting
8:35
Speaker 5: train quality.
8:36
Speaker 3: Leaders that want to go in and help our youth
8:39
Speaker 3: and tell me about that process. So say somebody's listening
8:42
Speaker 3: and say, well I wonder, yeah, I wonder what if
8:44
Speaker 3: I can do that?
8:45
Speaker 2: Yeah?
8:45
Speaker 4: So, uh thanks, great questions. So it's real simple and
8:49
Speaker 4: starts with a conversation. So, for example, if a church
8:53
Speaker 4: wants to sponsor and be the charter partner for a
8:56
Speaker 4: Scouting unit, and literally all it is it's a conversation
9:00
Speaker 4: where you know, the charter agrees to own the unit
9:03
Speaker 4: and then that process bring us at least five adults
9:08
Speaker 4: that we can train and put them to our training process.
9:11
Speaker 5: And you think about it like cooking.
9:13
Speaker 4: It takes about if you want to cook a good meal,
9:15
Speaker 4: it takes a while to start a unit and build
9:18
Speaker 4: that foundation. It takes about three to six months to
9:21
Speaker 4: do it right. And so getting getting the charter part
9:25
Speaker 4: is saying, you know what, I have at least five
9:27
Speaker 4: adults that are willing to be part of this scouting
9:29
Speaker 4: program to be on the committee to make sure that
9:32
Speaker 4: we have leaders, and then we train and we have
9:34
Speaker 4: a whole group of trainers on the council side that
9:37
Speaker 4: will come and train the leaders who have a great trainer,
9:41
Speaker 4: great commission of staff. And then once we have the
9:44
Speaker 4: foundation of the leaders, then we go and get the youth.
9:47
Speaker 4: So you aren't even recruit the youth. No, no, the
9:50
Speaker 4: last beats. Use the last beat because what you want
9:52
Speaker 4: to do is kind of like building the house. You
9:54
Speaker 4: want to make sure you have a good foundation, good walls,
9:57
Speaker 4: good doors, and then a good roof before you bring firn.
10:00
Speaker 4: And so that's the last piece. It's just about twelve steps.
10:04
Speaker 4: The first step is owning the unit, the step. The
10:08
Speaker 4: second step is getting the leaders, and then the third
10:11
Speaker 4: step is training them. And then once we train them,
10:14
Speaker 4: that takes about two or three months, then we start
10:16
Speaker 4: getting ready to bring in it, to bring in the
10:18
Speaker 4: youth and getting registered and then start the quality program
10:23
Speaker 4: of taking the smacy out and do the outing, going camp,
10:27
Speaker 4: going on trips.
10:28
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I know that is a big part
10:30
Speaker 2: of it.
10:32
Speaker 3: You have a beautiful camp out of mclock yeah yeah
10:35
Speaker 3: really yeah, and famous old camp and we're so proud
10:39
Speaker 3: of McClintock.
10:42
Speaker 4: McClintock is only about twenty miles north of Barterersville.
10:46
Speaker 5: And you know, all of our units that.
10:48
Speaker 4: Are registered with the Checkory Council get the camp for free.
10:52
Speaker 4: That's one of the benefits of being a registered unit
10:56
Speaker 4: in the council is that you get to use the
10:58
Speaker 4: camp for free, and then you get to plan and
11:01
Speaker 4: then you get to spend a weekend. For example, this
11:02
Speaker 4: weekend we have one or two troops coming out our
11:06
Speaker 4: council that will camp.
11:07
Speaker 2: House, warm up a little bit. Oh yeah, yeah.
11:10
Speaker 4: Our scouts are tough used to this, U this is
11:14
Speaker 4: this is nothing for our scouts.
11:16
Speaker 5: They're red but prepared exactly being prepared for life. They're
11:20
Speaker 5: built for this.
11:21
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
11:22
Speaker 4: We we once once a year we have a cold
11:25
Speaker 4: camp Trappers which is in Kansas, and we have about
11:29
Speaker 4: four or five units that dealt to that and it
11:31
Speaker 4: just prepares them for this. This is nothing for us
11:34
Speaker 4: count They're ready for this. Yeah, they're ready for this. Awesome,
11:37
Speaker 4: well built for this. Such a neat program. And I
11:41
Speaker 4: am sure you know as those troops.
11:45
Speaker 3: Or the order the group's mature, you must planning for
11:49
Speaker 3: succession must be another thing that's really interesting, and you've
11:54
Speaker 3: got to think forward. If you wanted this to continue.
11:57
Speaker 3: I'm sure leaders kind of often start with their children.
12:02
Speaker 5: Craby correct and some correct may some.
12:04
Speaker 3: May actually come from scouting and really make that part
12:07
Speaker 3: of their life.
12:09
Speaker 2: But tell me how that usually works.
12:11
Speaker 4: So, so what what we we always you know, we
12:13
Speaker 4: start with cup Scout. That's where them in the fall
12:16
Speaker 4: when we go to the schools, all of our schools,
12:18
Speaker 4: our goal is to get cup Scout parents and cop
12:22
Speaker 4: Scout youth into the program with the idea of showing
12:25
Speaker 4: them the future. So you starting cup Scouts, if you
12:28
Speaker 4: have a great time in cup Scout in great quality programs,
12:31
Speaker 4: then you move into the Scout ESA program. And so
12:34
Speaker 4: we build that almost inmate secession planning along a you know,
12:38
Speaker 4: go from kindergarten the first grade, second put it all
12:40
Speaker 4: the way up.
12:41
Speaker 5: Now.
12:42
Speaker 4: One of the things that happens is that you're exactly right,
12:45
Speaker 4: at some point you're going to age out. And so
12:48
Speaker 4: our commissioner staff they work very digitally at meeting with
12:51
Speaker 4: our leaders and our chart to partners to say, hey,
12:54
Speaker 4: look who do you have coming behind you?
12:56
Speaker 2: We have this group of.
12:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then start looking that those CUPSCAF parents as
13:01
Speaker 4: an opportunity to bring in leadership and so one of
13:05
Speaker 4: the things that.
13:05
Speaker 5: We have now we have online training for.
13:08
Speaker 4: All of our leaders, and then we have our in
13:12
Speaker 4: person training sessions. And then the other thing that we have,
13:16
Speaker 4: uh that you can do training sessions at Pilmont, you know,
13:19
Speaker 4: which is another plus again for the future, for the
13:22
Speaker 4: future of the council and of the unit, the success
13:25
Speaker 4: the unit. But secession planning is one of those areas
13:28
Speaker 4: that every unit has to look into and uh, it
13:31
Speaker 4: will keep the program going.
13:33
Speaker 3: Well, that's obviously something that's been going on here for
13:36
Speaker 3: for decades. And then, uh, thank you for your role
13:39
Speaker 3: in that than you know these last few years. And
13:43
Speaker 3: you're a great rotary friend of mine, and I love
13:47
Speaker 3: your spirit and attitude and you know, I think you know,
13:50
Speaker 3: we talked from last time you were on the show
13:51
Speaker 3: a little about your background and how you got involved
13:54
Speaker 3: in scouting. I think it's it's so important to hear
13:58
Speaker 3: those stories. Is it tell us about your background and
14:02
Speaker 3: how did you end up around here and and and
14:05
Speaker 3: leading a scouting group like this.
14:08
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the beautiful thing about scouting is that
14:13
Speaker 4: you can start literally, you can start at the smallest,
14:18
Speaker 4: most simplest level of just having a hamboom Hambook.
14:22
Speaker 3: And I think that's that's kind of my point in
14:25
Speaker 3: asking all these background.
14:27
Speaker 2: Things, is it. Yeah, there's so much going on, yea.
14:30
Speaker 2: And but when we am, when you know, when.
14:32
Speaker 3: You're making the pine with Derby, you don't realize everything
14:35
Speaker 3: that's going on around exactly.
14:38
Speaker 4: And it's it's such a beautiful thing. My father wasn't
14:41
Speaker 4: with an orphan and he he didn't have his parents
14:44
Speaker 4: and and he had a scout master that all he
14:46
Speaker 4: had was a was a hambook. But but in the
14:49
Speaker 4: three years that my father was in scouting, uh, he
14:52
Speaker 4: learned leadership, he learned discipline, and then there was one
14:56
Speaker 4: Merry badge, so the power that Merritbag that became an
15:00
Speaker 4: Hour and Health engineer because when he was a scout
15:04
Speaker 4: he saw that.
15:05
Speaker 5: At that engineer Merit badge as wow, this is part
15:08
Speaker 5: of my future.
15:09
Speaker 4: And so what scouting does today we for example, if
15:13
Speaker 4: you look at the Merribag Festival that we have coming up,
15:16
Speaker 4: it's another way for all of all of our scouts
15:18
Speaker 4: to see and participate. I want to say special things
15:22
Speaker 4: to try County Tech the host it does, but that's
15:24
Speaker 4: another way for scouts to see another Merit badge.
15:27
Speaker 5: And then go you know what, that could be my
15:29
Speaker 5: career in.
15:29
Speaker 3: If you well, that's that's very interesting because it's not
15:32
Speaker 3: just about badge.
15:33
Speaker 2: No, no, it's exactly learning. It's about learning.
15:35
Speaker 5: It's about learning.
15:35
Speaker 4: You get that that first taste of you know what, Wow,
15:39
Speaker 4: maybe I want to be I want to be a plumber?
15:41
Speaker 5: What does it take?
15:42
Speaker 2: You know?
15:42
Speaker 4: And the Merri bad system is so complex. It's so
15:45
Speaker 4: complex that once you get into it, you start realizing, wow,
15:51
Speaker 4: you at least finish a Merrit Badge with a level
15:54
Speaker 4: of basic level of understanding of that specific skill. So
15:58
Speaker 4: we have of one hundred and twenty one Mari badge
16:00
Speaker 4: in the Scouting program.
16:01
Speaker 5: I mean, it's amazing. You think of a skill, we
16:04
Speaker 5: have a Merry Bage for it.
16:05
Speaker 4: And so when you start from that level, then you
16:10
Speaker 4: start growing into the other areas of Scout in which
16:13
Speaker 4: is leadership. I want to say special thank you to
16:16
Speaker 4: our board and for allowing us.
16:18
Speaker 5: To do the NYLT.
16:21
Speaker 4: We had that National Youth Leadership Training for the first
16:24
Speaker 4: time in the council. We did it last year and
16:27
Speaker 4: so you know Jerry Wells, John Copeland and his team
16:32
Speaker 4: and their team, they put together a huge youth national
16:37
Speaker 4: youth leadership training here in Barterersville. So now scouts didn't
16:42
Speaker 4: have to go they didn't have to go two hours
16:46
Speaker 4: you know, to other councils to do it. They will
16:49
Speaker 4: do it here. And especially thinking out of way for
16:51
Speaker 4: helping because we were able to scholarship all of our scouts.
16:55
Speaker 4: They had a fifty potent scholarship to tend. And so
16:59
Speaker 4: what that did again kind of like with my father,
17:01
Speaker 4: it helped plan to see and so now you have
17:04
Speaker 4: Mary Badger you can take, you have leadership training, you
17:06
Speaker 4: can take out the youth. And when you combine all
17:09
Speaker 4: that from that effort, we had over five of our
17:13
Speaker 4: scouts from the council that then attended the NAIL which
17:18
Speaker 4: is the next level of leadership training at Filmont that summer.
17:24
Speaker 4: And so now we have over five or six scouts
17:28
Speaker 4: that not only when to Nail, but now they're coming
17:31
Speaker 4: back even more prepared for the next court which is
17:33
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six. So we'll be talking about that
17:36
Speaker 4: course coming up soon in twenty twenty six, the next course.
17:38
Speaker 4: But what that does is it gives you again that
17:42
Speaker 4: basic level of leadership training where you're working with other scouts,
17:46
Speaker 4: you're helping your unit. You're growing your unit, and then
17:49
Speaker 4: you want getting that training early on. And that's what scouting.
17:51
Speaker 4: The scouting we say sometimes it's a safe place to fail.
17:56
Speaker 4: You're able to learn a skill in a safe environment
18:00
Speaker 4: with trained leaders and all of that prepares you for life.
18:05
Speaker 2: That's right. As an employer, I know that, you know
18:07
Speaker 2: we've that kind of.
18:09
Speaker 3: Leadership sparked that kind of energy towards learning that that
18:13
Speaker 3: is what we need and look.
18:15
Speaker 2: For out of the workforce.
18:16
Speaker 3: And you know it is so important and if it's
18:20
Speaker 3: not there, we have to develop it at work and
18:24
Speaker 3: help people understand how how being aligned and working on
18:28
Speaker 3: shared goals and teamwork towards a common shared goals and
18:33
Speaker 3: world right exactly.
18:35
Speaker 2: And that's a scout Scounting.
18:37
Speaker 3: Is such a great resource for developing that.
18:40
Speaker 2: And you know we mentioned a few others.
18:42
Speaker 3: It's amazing to think about the parallels between what you're
18:46
Speaker 3: doing and and even like the Washington County Junior Livestock
18:49
Speaker 3: Show and what four h and f FA do and
18:52
Speaker 3: or the Young Scholars Program with how they developed youth
18:58
Speaker 3: along the way towards a college degree and scholarships. Whatever
19:03
Speaker 3: your interest is, being able to connect into these kinds
19:07
Speaker 3: of programs.
19:08
Speaker 2: I think it's really, you know, such a great thing
19:10
Speaker 2: about it.
19:11
Speaker 5: And that's the Medical Bodies Bill. That's the magical bodies.
19:13
Speaker 4: Built that we have all the beautiful options for while youth,
19:17
Speaker 4: and all it takes is being willing to step forward
19:21
Speaker 4: and being getting involved.
19:22
Speaker 2: That's great. Well, you know you.
19:25
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for all your your work and
19:28
Speaker 3: that and you know you guys are doing great stuff.
19:31
Speaker 2: You know. I do want to talk a little bit
19:33
Speaker 2: about the car business.
19:35
Speaker 3: We've had these crazy winter episodes, but we got the
19:39
Speaker 3: we did the crazy dance we do when the tornadoes
19:42
Speaker 3: are coming. When we moved all the cars in before
19:44
Speaker 3: the show. That way we could clear the lot. So
19:47
Speaker 3: our cars are nice and dry right now and the
19:50
Speaker 3: lots warm too slippery, And so if you it's a
19:55
Speaker 3: great time to buy. We really need to catch up
19:57
Speaker 3: a little bit on this month and finish it a
20:00
Speaker 3: strong way and got great deals going on. Toyota has,
20:04
Speaker 3: for instance, two point nine for seventy two months on
20:07
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five Tundra. We've got some big discounts
20:13
Speaker 3: that are too low to advertise on about six the
20:18
Speaker 3: vehicles that are the oldest in stock, in a Toyota world,
20:21
Speaker 3: you don't want aged inventory.
20:22
Speaker 2: We have to turn our vehicles in order to earn more.
20:25
Speaker 3: We're constantly trying to sell to the lot all the
20:28
Speaker 3: way down every sales base, so we really need to
20:32
Speaker 3: push to the end of the month this month so
20:34
Speaker 3: we can earn our inventory over the next few months.
20:38
Speaker 3: So there are some great deals out there. I know,
20:40
Speaker 3: We've got a Tundra like that, a Prius, a couple
20:44
Speaker 3: of land Cruisers, a Toyota Corolla Cross, and a Camery
20:48
Speaker 3: all that will have special discounts on them. Just ask
20:51
Speaker 3: your sales associate for about that. We've also got some
20:57
Speaker 3: great to use car deals out there right now, and
20:59
Speaker 3: we are going to buy inventory I've had, We've had
21:02
