I will forward your message on to Rafi Sharif who produces Seabadge
knots on appropriate backgrounds. (Like your Council Commodore, Rafi
doesn't monitor Explorer-Net.)

With the recent discussion about EOA i thought i would take a minuet and
talk about what the Oregon Trail Council EOA has done, and possible get
some help from the Sea Explorers on this list.
The OTC EOA was formed in November of 97. Our major accomplishment since
then has been sending our Council Commodore to Seabadge.
In my council Sea Exploring is not a big program by any stretch of the
imagination and that really to bad. It is a great program, I would be a
sea explorer if i could (closest ship is a hour drive and i don't have the
time to form a ship were i live). So the EOA officers were sitting around
trying to think of things to do to help exploring in general and for some
reason our council commodore's name came up, he has been a good friends to
all of us for a long time. We decided the best thing we could do for Sea
Explorer would be to get him the training he needs to be the best Commodore
possible. So we quickly go onto the Sea Exploring web Site (i REALLY wish
every cluster of exploring had a site like that). We looked at the various
training possible and found out about
SeaBadge. Quickly we called the course director for the one in western
Region and were sent info. Then we all worked on getting pledges and were
able not only to buy the gas to get there, pay for registration and get him
back. But he have a little $$$ left over. So now we want to get him the
Unofficial SeaBadge knot, because it looks cool, he doesn't like the
Official one, and it would be nice to present to him at the next EOA
meeting.
So can any of you Sea Exploring help? I can't post to any Sea Exploring
Mailing List because he is a member of them.
So in the short existence of Oregon Trail Council EOA, we have done
something. And i think its something that will have a positive impact on
Exploring in my council. Without EOA he would never have known or had the
ability to go to SeaBadge (he is a rather poor person unfortunately). That
alone in my mind justifies having the EOA.
