      Song "America; let me tell you how I feel" and Japanese Scouts?

      By skeptic · Posted

      No, I have had no response until you right now.  I too discovered nothing online.  The story was told to me I believe when the song was sung at a closing campfire at an event in the seventies I think, in the old Great Western Council.  The words I recall were varied, though that could be my old mind.  "America, America.  How can we/I tell you how we/I feel?  You have brought us so many treasures.  We love you so.  A second stanza, or just version, replaces treasures with pleasures.  Simple and very meaningful, especially if it was sung on the tarmac as American scouts left a Japanese gathering of some sort.  I do know that the BSA was involved in reestablishing Scouting in Japan, so it might relate to that, rather than a Jambo.  Or it might simply be "lore".

      Greenwich Council covers only just Greenwich, CT. Sometimes it comes down to the donors.

      Next merger

      By Tron · Posted

      Word on the internet is that Bucktail just had their charter revoked and they are being absorbed by Laurel Highlands. When I looked this one up I was confused as to how a council the size of a district (in my council) even existed in the first place.

      Pack "soft merger" logistics question - Registered den leaders requirements

      By Tron · Posted

      You're going to need a handful of things. First you will need council permission to hold joint unit events (joint den meetings count as joint event). Both units will need to provide 2 registered leaders per event.  So assuming you are holding joint den meetings you will need 4 leaders, 2 from each unit.
