3 Welcome! Hello and welcome to the 2019 Fireball District Cub-o-Ree. The guide that follows contains all the information your pack will need in order to be ready for a weekend full of fun and friendly competition. Feel free to split up this guide amongst the leaders and parents in your unit in order to assist them in preparing for the different activities. My name is Priscilla Molerio. If you had told me just a few short years ago that I would be volunteering my time with the BSA (much less camping!), I would have said you are crazy! But the one hour a week got me, too. Now here I am as Chief of the 2019 Cub-o-Ree, clearly volunteering more than one hour a week and I can t imagine not being a part of this incredible organization. I had never before realized the amount of planning, preparation, time and care that goes into making each district and unit successful for our youth, but without a doubt the largest factor is the caring. Everyone, from the people at the council who run the show behind the scenes, and the Cub Masters who work tirelessly to set their pack in motion and keep them on track, to the leaders and parents that bring the children to the meetings and events all have one main thing in common: we all care about these kids and want them to have a great time and gain as much as possible from their scouting experience. I hope you are all as proud as I am to have a hand in making this all possible for this generation of scouts. Sincerely, Priscilla Molerio Den Leader and mother of 2 Pack 552 Page 2

4 Ahoy, mateys! my name is Iris Rios-Llano, I came into scouting like a lot of us that have been involved in scouting as a parent just trying to help my little skipper get the wind in his sails and learn all that he could during the pack meetings and yes we all start off helping here and there and then the One hour per week volunteer turns into a lifetime of endless rewarding volunteer hours. My son, my daughter my husband and I have been able to enjoy many years of memorable moments not only with our son, but with many other scouts and parents along this voyage. I can only hope you are willing plot your course and start on a voyage which leads to a successful adventure with your scout(s), sibling(s), and family members and of course, other fellow scouts,. I know there were several steps you took to get here, today. The first step was wanting your son/daughter or both to be a scout. Your Youth Protection training set the motion. This is one level of understanding; we adults agree to continuously update every two years. Continue to Follow the Boy Scouts of America s standards, trainings and be proud of your scouting success. Sincerely, Iris Rios-Llano Iris Rios-Llano Of Pack 247, Troop 247 and Ship 1912 Page 3

Event Judging The events will be set up and coordinated by the Cub-o-Ree committee, not by individual units. As part of registration, each unit may be asked to supply the names of one or more adults to act as judges. The events will each have a number identifying the event and indicating where dens should wait in line until called. Units may not be judged by anyone connected with their unit. The judging criteria are designed to be as objective as possible. When a Den and/or Pack Unit presents itself to a judge at an activity, the Den leader will give their activity card to the judge. When the Den completes the activity, the judge will mark and sign the score sheet and document the results on an event score log which is signed by the Den leader as the official record. The event score log will be turned over to the Cub-o-Ree staff for scoring. The judges will be doing their best to be fair and objective. If there s a problem or question with a score, the leader should discuss it with the judge immediately. This is best left between the leader and the judge as soon as it occurs, not later. No adjustments or changes will be made after final tabulations are completed. *All judges scoring decisions are final* Page 19

Those who get the most fish during the time allotted will win the game. The team with the most fish in the shortest time will win over all. Page 22

24 Broom Relay Race Unit Den Event This is a 4-scout x Den-team timed event (ALL Pack Ranks must be represented); time starts when the horn sounds. The scout runs to obstacle and tags next scout to continue obstacle course. If a scout falls during run, he must start from place of error. Not continuing from place of fall is a 5 second penalty. Time ends when the last scout on relay team crosses the finish line. Best Team Average time wins. Time is calculated by adding all scout times and dividing the total by the number of Scouts to get the Team Average. Obstacles in race: Cross the ropes / go thru the tires / swing across the water / sack race to the finish line Each Pack is allowed: 2 Tiger teams / 2 Wolf teams / 2 Bear teams / 2 Webelos teams / 2 AOL Teams (4 scouts per team) NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE 4 SCOUTS THEN 1 ST SCOUT IN RELAY TEAM MOVES TO LAST POSITION AS SOON AS HE ENDS HIS FIRST OBSTACLE RUN. Sea Soccer Team Event The objective of soccer is to kick the ball inside the other team s goal; there is no limit to the number of goals that can be scored during game time. Games will be a Max of 30 minutes divided in two 15-minute halves. There will be no tied games, so if the game ends tied it will be decided by penalty kicks Teams will be a Max of 8 Kids and a minimum of 5 in the field and we will have no limits of substitutions during the game (The amount of players will be determined by the number of kids available to play for the team with the lesser amount of players) There will be no headers. This means while in soccer generally allows the use of the head, it is a general rule of soccer clubs not to allow small kids to use the head to avoid them getting hurt. While we will not ask to the scouts to wear cleats, they will need to use shin guards. Pass back rule will not be enforced (this when a defender passes the ball the keeper and he gets it with his hands) Since this will be the first time we have Soccer as a Cub-o-Ree event, here are a few more rules, and in greater detail Page 23

25 No Hands, please First, the rule for a hand ball includes using any part of the body from the tips of the fingers to the shoulder. Second, the proper way to look at this soccer rule is that a player cannot handle the ball. A ball that is kicked and hits a player s hand or arm is not a hand ball. This means that the referee must use his or her own judgment to some extent in determining whether or not a hand ball is accidental contact or a purposeful attempt to gain an advantage. Believe it or not, there is also a situation in which the goalie cannot use his/her hands. Throw-ins A throw-in is taken when the ball crosses a sideline and leaves the field. The two basic soccer rules for a proper throw-in are to have both feet on the ground and to throw the ball with both hands over the head. Corner Kicks & Goal Kicks A corner kick or goal kick is taken when the ball leaves the field across the end line (the end of the field). If the offensive team kicks it out, play is restarted with a goal kick. If the defensive team kicks it out, play is restarted with a corner kick. The goal kick is taken from anywhere inside the goalie box as it is affectionately called. It can be taken by any player, not just the goalkeeper. The corner kick is taken from yes, you guessed it the corner nearest to where the ball left the field. Fouls The common rule of thumb on fouls is If it looks like a foul, it probably is. This is too true. A player cannot kick, trip, jump at, charge, strike, push, hold, or spit at an opponent. Parents should keep in mind that soccer can be a physical, contact sport when two opposing players both want the soccer ball, so bumping or going shoulder-to-shoulder while competing for a ball is not a foul until the hands or elbows come up. This is a bit of a judgment call and not all referees will call it the same way. Some soccer rules are actually not black-and-white. Remember though, the referee is ALWAYS right. Direct and Indirect Free Kicks On a direct kick you can score by kicking the ball directly into the goal. On an indirect kick you cannot score. An indirect kick must be touched by another player before it can go into the goal that is the kicker and a second person. The referee will signal which type of kick it is. For an indirect kick, the referee will hold one arm straight up in the air until the second person touches the ball. No arm up, it s a direct kick. There are many soccer rules around what causes a direct or indirect kick. In general, a direct kick comes from a contact foul or hand ball. Everything else is indirect. Penalty Kick A penalty kick results from a contact foul or hand ball by the defending team within the penalty area the large box on either end of the field. So it s a type of direct kick also. The ball is placed on the penalty spot, 12 yards in front of the center of the goal. All players must remain outside the penalty area and the penalty arc until the ball is kicked. The goalkeeper must have both feet on the goal line until the ball is kicked. If after the ball is kicked, it rebounds off of the goal or the keeper and stays on the field, the ball is live and anyone can play it. Two-touch Rule A player cannot touch the ball twice in a row when putting the ball in play. You will see this called many times in youth soccer. It applies everywhere. You will see it frequently on kick-offs or direct and indirect kicks. If a player barely hits the ball and decides to take another swipe at it, that is a two-touch. This also applies to throw-ins. A player cannot throw the ball in and then kick it. This is not permitted. Page 24
