Seneca Waterways Council Boy Scouts of America2017 Annual Report

1

Every Scout is a reflection of the

adult they will soon be. Shaped by the

positive people, caring values, daring

experiences, and blue-sky expectations

encountered along life’s journey.

Each conversation is a unique ray in

the day’s light. Each challenge, a

ripple in the water that perseverance

and patience will smooth. And every

achievement, a clear report of what’s

possible throughout a lifetime.

On the pages ahead, you’ll meet four

young adults who’ve traveled miles

already and – thanks to Scouting –

have so much more to share with our

world. Join us as we review a year

of success, and imagine all that’s

possible in the decades to come.

Executive LetterAs adults, we might occasionally look in the mirror and assess our situations—where we’ve been, where are we going, and how we are going to get there. The decisions we make, and the directions we take, in large part are an accumulation of the challenges we have accepted and overcome.

For our youth, one of the great building blocks of the Scouting program is our vast system of requirements. We’ve assigned them to each badge and rank at every level. Some are simple, and others are more challenging. The idea, of course, is that the fulfillment of each requirement gives young people a sense of accomplishment … and a great accumulation of requirements can lead to very special things, such as the Eagle Rank.

As young people grow, they discover that there is no end to life’s string of requirements, but Scouting prepares them for a life of taking on challenges large and small—not just with coping and survival skills, but with leadership capabilities that enable others to benefit from their own knowledge and example.

The unique design of this annual report enables us to imagine—through our featured young people—bright futures for those who embrace the requirements of life. The mission of Scouting is to shape young people to succeed, and to lead others to do the same. To be sure, it’s not the easiest path, but Scouting isn’t just a time-honored set of traditions, it’s the world’s most successful youth-development program. This annual report is a direct reflection of that.

We sincerely hope you enjoy reading it.

NAVIGATING REAL LIFE

With two older brothers, also Eagle Scouts, Alec started tagging along on camping adventures at age 5. He’s been to all the east coast Scouting destinations – Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Gettysburg. “Encouraging younger Scouts on a rugged 10-mile hike, even when you’re exhausted yourself, that’s a lesson in leadership,” says Alec. He loves the water and trained to be a lifeguard at Massawepie. But it may have been Alec’s week-long trip from the BSA Florida Sea Base that really inspired his future. After graduation, Alec is headed to the U.S. Navy Masters in Arms program, where discipline and determination will serve him well.

Chili, Fire Explorer Post Abigail Sauer

FIRST IN, LAST OUT

A friend asked Abigail to join the Churchville Fire Department Explorer program three years ago. The busy swim-team star wasn’t sure, but she stayed long after her friend lost interest.

“I’ve learned about teamwork, responsibility, leadership,” she says. “It’s exhilarating to respond on the truck, but also to know you can really help people.” A senior at Churchville Chili High School, Abigail comes from a family of firefighters, and her younger sister is part of the program. At the Fire House, volunteers and Explorers train together, raise money for local charities, and support area Veterans. Now that her passion has been ignited, Abigail knows it’s about more than responding to emergencies. It’s about caring for your whole community.

Rochester, Troop Simeon Alvarez

NO LIMITS, NO BOUNDRIES

“You keep trying no matter what. Don’t let anyone set limits for you.” That’s what Simeon Alvarez says. He learned it while working to complete the swimming requirement for First Class. “I went back every Tuesday for six weeks…and I did it.” He’s done a whole lot more. The Eagle Scout runs track and cross country. Works summer jobs and internships. Plays bass clarinet. And has multiple college acceptances to choose from. Simeon likes to have options. So whether it’s in the classroom, the workout room, or someday maybe the boardroom, thanks to Scouting he’s prepared to be a leader.

Penfield, PackRyker Balash

ENGINEERING WHAT

,S NEXT

With more than 10,000 pieces of LEGO on his floor, this Penfield fourth-grader has already built space fighters, helicopters, supertankers, and suspension bridges. As a Webelos, Ryker is not only getting ready to cross over to Boy Scouts, he’s preparing for high school, college, and beyond. When a tree fell during a recent camping trip, Ryker watched the repair crew restore power with eager curiosity. “My favorite subject is science. I might like to be an engineer or maybe a police officer. But first, I have to keep going to school!” Learning about the world from fellow Scouts, plus teachers and leaders like his dad, the possibilities for Ryker are truly infinite.

Summer Camp Attendance

Summer Camp ProgramsThe Seneca Waterways Council owns and operates three camping facilities.
