ANNUAL REPORT &
REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY
Boy Scouts of America Central New Jersey Council
Many Trails...
ONE COUNCIL.
Dear Friends of the Central New Jersey Council: During 2011 we had several very significant achievements. We are very proud that as a council we served just over 10,000 local kids who proudly call themselves Scouts. They are Scouts because of the thoughtful and generous friendship of those who share their concern for our young people. We are especially grateful for the 3,700 adults who volunteer their time and talent as leaders and for the 2,000 plus individuals and organizations who in the last year made a financial contribution to support the positive work of the Scouts. After listening to our many stakeholders our Executive Board adopted a new strategic plan in 2011 that will enable our Scout organization to better serve the families of our community. We must also call attention to the achievement of a balanced budget. Raising sufficient funds is always a challenge, but a collective and fo-cused effort provided us the necessary resources to achieve this ob-jective. Financial sustainability will require constant attention, but this will provide us the resources needed to bring significant positive change into the lives of the children throughout central New Jersey. In 2011, our council’s programs and overall operation were recognized by the National Council with the Silver Award. Last year over 10,000 merit badges were earned, 600 Cub Scouts participated in summer day camp and over 2,300 Boy Scouts enjoyed a week of sleep away summer camp.

ENDOWMENT – MEMORIAL TRIBUTES Organizations or individuals may contribute an award in honor of someone—an Eagle Scout, a Silver Beaver recipient, Council, District, or unit Scouter—or in memory of a departed loved one. There can be no finer honor paid to a Scouter than to be named a James E. West Fellow, indicating that the nominee is in the same spirit and dedication to Scouting as was James E. West. Those who are rec-ognized by the James E. West Fellowship Award will cast their own "lengthened shadow" as they help ensure the Scouting legacy by helping create the financial stability needed to carry Scouting into the next century.
The James E. West Fellowship Award is a recognition authorized by the National Council, Boy Scouts of America and presented by the Central New Jersey Council to individuals and chartered units who contribute $1,000 or more in cash or securities to the Central New Jersey Council Endowment Fund. Funds will be invested and the principal permanently held with investment income used to support local Scouting in perpetuity. This gift should be in addition to, and should not diminish or replace, the donor's annual gift to the Friends of Scouting Campaign.

The Dayton Church family is the proud sponsor of Cub Scout Pack 108. As part of that relationship, Pack 108 actively searches for ways that it can help the church. On November 19, the Pack descended on our grounds to engage in a Fall clean-up. The boys, together with their moms and dads spent the morning and early afternoon raking just about every inch of our property. When all was said and done, the church was officially prepared for the winter months. Thanks to their efforts, we saved over $2,000. Pack 108 – we are grateful to have you here!

Troop 223
Mattameechen
For over 100 years, Scouts have served the community. Scouts both plan and participate in community service projects. Scouts learn to help others and gain a sense of responsibility to the betterment of their community. Scouts give service by proactively planning a project and by responding to the task on hand. This summer in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, East Brunswick Mayor David Stahl asked the local Scouts to assist with the storm recovery. Troop 223, sponsored by Veterans of Foreign War Post 133 and under the leadership of Scoutmaster Jim Berzok, responded to the request for assistance. The Scouts of Troop 223 arrived in work clothes and donned work gloves, then provided meaningful assistance to some older residents on Squire Street off of Main Street who had been flooded out. The Scouts assisted the residents, removed trash, and helped cleanup the debris left by Hurricane Irene. The Mayor contacted the Scouts, be-cause the Scouts have been a group he knew he could count on. The Scouts willingly performed many hours of service to those in need.
Squire Street Resident
Thanks Everyone for Their
Support
From the Boy Scouts to the Moms Club, help has been coming to resi-dents of Squire Street whose homes were damaged by Hurricane Irene.
“We said we could use a hand, and so he contacted the Boy Scouts for us! Jim Berzok and his Troop No. 223 came down like an Army, and helped us remove trash and clean floors and they were fabu-lous.” Quote from a local resident.

THE AIMS & METHODS OF SCOUTING Ideals
The ideals of Scouting are spelled out in the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Scout motto, the Scout slogan, the Cub Scout Promise, and the Law of the Pack. The Scout measures himself against these ideals and continually tries to improve. The goals are high, and as he reaches them, he has some control over what and who he becomes.
Patrol Method The patrol method gives Boy Scouts an experience in group living and participating citizenship. It places responsibility on young shoulders and teaches boys how to accept it. The patrol method allows Scouts to interact in small groups where members can easily relate to each other. These small groups determine troop activities through elected representatives. (The den in a Cub Scout pack is akin to the patrol in the Boy Scout troop.)
Outdoors Boy Scouting is designed to take place outdoors. It is in the outdoor setting that Scouts share responsibilities and learn to live with one another. In the outdoors, the skills and activities practiced at the troop meetings come alive with purpose. Being close to nature helps Scouts gain an appreciation for the beauty of the world around us. The outdoors is the laboratory in which Scouts learn ecology and practice conservation of nature’s resources.
Advancement Boy Scouting provides a series of surmountable obstacles and steps in overcoming them through the advancement method. The Boy Scout plans his advancement at his own pace as he meets each challenge. The Scout is rewarded for each achievement, which helps him gain self-confidence. The steps in the advancement system help a Scout growth in self-reliance and in the ability to help others.
Association with Adults Boys learn a great deal by watching how adults conduct themselves. Scouting leaders can be positive role models for the members of the troop or pack. In many cases, a Scoutmaster or Cubmaster who is willing to listen to boys, encourage them, and take a sincere interest in them can make a profound difference in their lives.
Personal Growth As Boy Scouts plan their activities and progress toward their goals, they experience personal growth. The Good Turn concept is a major part of the personal growth method of Boy Scouting. Boys grow as they participate in community service projects and do Good Turns for others. Probably no device is as successful in developing a basis for personal growth as the daily Good Turn. The religious emblem program also is a large part of the personal growth method. Frequent personal conferences with his Scoutmas-ter help each Boy Scout to determine his growth toward Scouting’s aims.
Leadership Development Boy Scouting encourages boys to learn and practice leadership skills. Each Boy Scout has the opportunity to participate in both shared and total leadership situations. Under-standing the concepts of leadership helps a boy accept the leadership role of others and guides him toward the citizenship aim of Scouting.
Uniform The uniform makes the Boy Scout troop or Cub Scout pack visible as a force for good and creates a positive youth image in the community. Scouting in as action program, and wearing the uniform is an action that shows each Scout’s commitment to the aims and purposes of Scouting. The uniform gives the Scout identity in a world brotherhood of youth who believe in the same ideals. The uniform is practical attire for Scout activi-ties and provides a way for Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts to wear the badges that show what they have accomplished.
VISION STATEMENT We celebrate and honor the values of Scouting, including character and ethics, service, outdoor adventure and life long skills. We must be financially sustainable, innovative and focused on growth in core and emerging markets. By being visible, relevant and dynamic, we
will be a force for continually improving our community.
MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of the Central New Jersey Council, Boy Scouts of America to serve others by helping to
instill values in young people and in other ways prepare them to make ethical choices over their lifetime in
achieving their full potential. The values we strive to instill are based on those found in the Boy Scouts Oath and Law.
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.
SCOUT LAW A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
