4 A Story of Values, Mission and Vision
In the 1300s at Cambridge University in England, a chapel was constructed for one of the colleges. The vaulted roof supported huge beams fashioned out of old-growth oak. Seven hundred years later, the beams had deteriorated to the point that the roof was in danger of collapsing. The building required extensive renovation, including replacing the beams. But where, in our time, could those repairing the building find giant oak trees of such an age and quality as had been available to the original builders? The answer lay right outside the door of the chapel. The original builders of the chapel had known that at some point far in the future, the structure would need new oak beams, and so they had planted acorns in the churchyard. Over the centuries, a grove of oak trees had grown to full maturity. The Chapel at “Jesus College” Values, Mission, and Vision

5 A Story of Values, Mission and Vision
The mission of those chapel builders – to ensure the survival of the chapel – extended hundreds of years into the future. Their vision – planting the acorns as a means of achieving the mission – was a step-by-step process that required planning and organization. Their mission and their vision were built upon their values – a solid foundation that gave direction and meaning to those things they set out to achieve. What was the mission of the builders?

36 Vision Vision is a picture of future success.
A vision forms when we think far enough ahead to realize there will be important challenges that we can prepare for now. A vision is a picture of future success. A vision forms when we think far enough ahead to realize there will be important challenges that we can prepare for now, perhaps by doing something as simple as planting acorns. Your vision should be … your dream! “October Sky” Values, Mission, and Vision

37 Vision Your Vision should be your dream!
“Nothing happens unless first a dream.” – Carl Sandburg Part of your assignment prior to coming to this Wood Badge course was to think about your own vision of future success, especially as it relates to your primary leadership position in Scouting. Values, Mission, and Vision

38 Vision Your Vision should be your dream!
Question 18: In five years, what role do I see for myself in Scouting? Likewise, earlier today during the discussion of the AIMS of Scouting, you were asked to think of young people who are currently involved with Scouting and to imagine them years in the future. That’s how vision begins – thinking about what we can offer young people today through Scouting that will have a positive impact upon their lives in a decade, in twenty years, in thirty years or more. That’s a vision that challenges each of us to do something of value for the future. Through Scouting, that vision encourages each of us to plant acorns. Your Vision should be your dream!

It is my unique responsibility as the leader to shine the spotlight on the future and marshal the support of countrymen to create the future.” (She understood that vision is a tool of leadership) Values, Mission, and Vision

47 … a world brotherhood of Scouts living in peace.
Vision Lord Baden-Powell … a world brotherhood of Scouts living in peace. (play video) Baden-Powell: (He saw the need to provide young people with opportunities to grow into the best possible adults.) Baden-Powell served as a general during the Boer War, a campaign that was a dismal failure for the British military. Returning to England from Africa after the war, Baden-Powell began searching for ways to provide the British Army with young men who were better prepared, both in character and ability, to serve their country. Through his books and the establishment of the Boy Scout movement, he felt he was succeeding in fulfilling that vision. The first World Jamboree took place in Baden-Powell was invited, but was initially not enthused. But he went anyway, and while he was there, his vision changed. Why? What happened in recent English history? World War I, a war that had taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the lines. At the World Jamboree, Baden-Powell saw boys from many nations living together in harmony. His vision for the future of Scouting evolved, and for the rest of his life he put his heart and soul into promoting the world brotherhood of Scouting. In 1937 there was a World Jamboree in the Netherlands. Just before it opened, one nation sent word that its boys would not be attending. That nation was Germany. Scouting had been disbanded in Germany, and many of its members had joined the Hitler Youth. Baden-Powell died in 1941, greatly disappointed that he had not realized the fulfillment of his vision of a world brotherhood of Scouts living in peace. Did Baden-Powell’s vision die with him? No, of course it didn’t. To this day we continue to work toward that dream. Values, Mission, and Vision

49 Vision Video Discussion: Did JFK’s vision motivate a nation?
Did MLK’s make his vision clear? Did Margaret Thatcher understand the importance of vision in leadership? Did Baden-Powell’s vision that a common moral code could lead to world peace become something? Baden-Powell’s vision changed from … seeing young men prepared in character and ability to serve their country. to … a world brotherhood of Scouts living in peace. Effective leaders have the capability to create a compelling vision, but they must also be able to translate that vision into reality. Values, Mission, and Vision

65 Introducing Dave Lyons ASM Troop Guides Values, Mission, and Vision

66 The Wood Badge Ticket During the Course Overview earlier this afternoon, you learned a little about the Wood Badge ticket. Historically, British soldiers “worked their tickets” -- taking the steps that would help them achieve the goal of reaching home at the end of their military service. The Wood Badge Ticket allows each of you to set out a personal vision and mission based on your own values. You will be envisioning an end result and figuring out the steps required to fulfill that vision. Writing it out and then “working” your ticket provides a way for each of you to put into practice the leadership skills you are learning during this Wood Badge course, and to transfer those skills to your home units, districts, and councils. Your answers on the pre-course assignment, Twenty Questions, will have helped you think through what is important to you, what roles you play in Scouting and in your life, and where you see yourself in the future. That deepened awareness forms a pool of information you can use as you begin to formulate your ticket. Values, Mission, and Vision

67 The Wood Badge Ticket A Wood Badge Ticket is: A commitment
A vision of personal improvement A vision of how you will lead A series of goals Your ticket is guided by Your Personal Values Your Vision Your Personal Mission A Wood Badge Ticket is: A commitment A vision of personal improvement A vision of how you will lead A series of goals Your ticket is guided by Your Personal Values Your Vision Your Personal Mission (Guidelines for Writing a Wood Badge Ticket) A primary purpose of the Wood Badge experience is to provide leadership for Scouting and leadership for America. Your ticket is a commitment to complete a set of goals that will significantly strengthen the BSA program in which you are involved. Additionally, the ticket provides an opportunity for you to practice the leadership skills that will be of value in the many areas of your life, both within and beyond Scouting. Values, Mission, and Vision
