      Troop 74 Rocketeers (NJ) are American Rocketry Challenge National Champs

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      Ugh. Where? Remember, not so long ago, when the Guide To Safe Scouting was available as a freely downloadable PDF which one could easily SEARCH, PRINT, HIGHLIGHT? Instead now we have an online version which is extremely difficult to search. Very tedious. Let's go back to a downloadable PDF with release date and version number clearly printed (BOLD, LARGE FONT) on cover and each page footnote and the National download page clearly showing current release date and version number. P.S. Okay I did find some online downloadable PDF's. 2019: https://scoutingevent.com/Download/80372330/OR/Guide_to_Safe_Scouting.pdf     with CSE Michael Surbaugh 2021: https://pathwaytoadventure.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/guide-to-safe-scouting.pdf 404 Not Found: https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/34416.pdf My $0.02,

      Service Hours Project and Youth Protection

      By InquisitiveScouter · Posted

      The event is not an outing under the auspices of the BSA, and so is not under its rules.  So, as long as the parents understand this, they are responsible for their Scout. Whenever Scouts request to have these types of service hours approved, we make sure to have that conversation with the parents.  Think of the logical extreme here... do we have to provide YPT and Barriers to Abuse for any and every they let us know they are attending??

      Foot lockers for summer camp?

      By Arkie · Posted

      Certainly, to each their own.  In our case, we usually travel a few-to-several states away for summer camp, so there are multiple days on the front and back side of camp week.

      Foot lockers for summer camp?

      By Armymutt · Posted

      I grew up in the Midwest too.  I just can't see needing that much stuff for a week of camp.  They need less stuff than we needed for some of my camps - shower facilities and dining hall are provided.  No one needs to bring a stove, pots, eating stuff, solar shower, etc.

      Foot lockers for summer camp?

      By SSScout · Posted

      "It depends".... Nat Jamboree, 2013, they issued nice offishul duffles as part of the deal.  Staff (Chaplain), I brought a foot locker, but discovered it would not fit in the tent with the cot they issued/assigned.  We Adapted ...    As SM, to summer camp, I brought one to help organize my stuff and stuff and stuff,,, The Scouts were not required , some had duffles, some had small locker/boxes....  If the dimensions are known, to slip it under the cot, that is good. If there is room at the end(s) of the cot and still stay in th tent, that is good.  Where will it be?  In the halcyon days of my yooth,  everything was in the backpack or we didn't need it.  Then too, we didn't have TRAILERS full of stuff....
