Welcome
On behalf of the Istrouma Area Council and the Council Training Committee, we welcome you to the Annual Pisachi
University of Scouting.
Deeply rooted in southeastern Louisiana, Native Americans who spoke Muskogean and/or Choctaw were native to this
area and south Mississippi. One can tell by our city names: Houma, Tunica, Bayougoula, Tchefuncte and Bogalusa. Our
own council, Istrouma, like our state’s capital city means “red-stick.” in Choctaw, and Pisachi loosely translates to “to
teach.” Literally it means “to cause one to see.” It is our hope that Pisachi University of Scouting will open some eyes
and teach the skills and/or knowledge needed to provide a better program for the youth of the Istrouma Area Council
and the Boy Scouts of America!
We have organized a single day packed with a year’s worth of fun, program ideas, and information – the largest single
training event for adult leaders in Istrouma Area Council. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to meet and share
ideas with other like-minded friends of Scouting throughout the area. We encourage you to use your time between
classes for networking – meet up with old friends, make new friends, and enjoy a great lunch. Don’t forget to visit the
University Midway throughout the day for great Scouting ideas, information and product information.
Of course, we could not do this without the exceptional dedication and support of many volunteers. From instructors to
the administrative staff, I thank you for your efforts to make this a spectacular event. I also thank those who came
before me and put together a great program. Their efforts, coupled with ideas from other Council’s Universities of
Scouting across the BSA, make for a tremendous training opportunity!
This document has all the information you’ll need to plan your day and to be prepared. Please take a few minutes to
review so that you can learn how to read the schedules and understand how you can pre-plan your classes. When it
comes time to register, you will have all the information you need. Should you still have questions, please feel free to
contact me by sending an email to [email protected]. Regardless of your program, please be sure to review
the College of General Studies class offerings as there is something there for everyone!
You MUST check in at the Registration Table regardless if you have pre-registered or not.
Check-in tables will be clearly marked.
On behalf of the youth in the Istrouma Area Council – a sincere THANK YOU for joining us! By your registration you have
indicated your dedication to the principle that “every Scout deserves a trained leader”.

Pisachi University of Scouting
