Sometimes failure entails being recalled rather than merely warned over and over again. Boy shouldn't have to suffer under poor leadership for a full 6 months until the next election. Boys are smart...

Generally speaking, I would say they don't. To think a FC scout has sufficient skills to take care of himself in the woods is not the norm. When Baden Powell selected the name scout, it was from his...

There are so many things wrong with this situation one could almost think CherokeeScouter is a forum troll.
And then again, this is so bad one would think that even a troll couldn't think this one...

That would be my first option if I were working with a church. I know it's a matter of interpretation when it comes to "community", but I'm thinking community is meant as something beyond the...

Sounds like a total abuse of power on the part of the advancement chair.
No one can veto a properly signed MB. If the counselor says the boy met the requirements, that's the end of the story....Last edited by jblake47; Yesterday, 09:11 AM.Leave a comment:

This is why any POR holder can be replaced as needed in my troop. If they aren't going to show, there's always a possibility their responsibility to fulfill their POR can come to a sudden halt.

Venturing Crews are like the old Explorer Posts. It's a separate program of BSA like Scouting and Cubbing. On the other hand Varsity and Venture patrols are sub-groups in a troop made up of older boys...

I've done the self-made summer camps and they are a lot of fun. The schedule is so much more relaxed and the boys aren't having to rush off to do MB's or having to get to the waterfront at a certain...

After two years of discussion and promotion of a variety of different camps out there, the one dynamic that seems to be missing out is: What do the boys want for a summer camp experience? Too often we...

Sounds more like you have a venture patrol in the troop that has extra adults, paperwork and restrictions that has nothing really to do with a regular Venturing Crew. That's like saying this Venture...

Do the following:
1. Choose a charitable organization outside of Scouting that interests you and brings people in your community together to work for the good of your community.

In the back of my mind, I assumed the older scout was just screwing around. With that being said, fore go the apology but tap into his actions as something to be developed. "Assume" he had...Last edited by jblake47; 05-23-2013, 09:44 AM.

Makes sense, but it does not solve the problem of competition for loyalty for not only the boys but for many of the adults as well. If this is a one-time deal, I wouldn't worry about it, after all, I'm...
