      Chapter 11 announced - Part 12 - District Court

      The signature block has 3 options that can be checked above the signature to identify the party executing the POC. They are: (1) SA Survivor; (2) Survivor's...executor or Authorized Representative; (3) Other. I added my wife's name, residence and email address to my file in the form of a very simple amendment, since she is my designated executor under the trusty ol' will. I just enjoy adding digital sheets of paper to my ShareVault drawer.

      Sadly the folks running the Cub Scout Program nationally have little to no real life experience. I am told BSA use "experts" to write curriculums, programming etc.  And from reading training materials, I can believe it.

      In several troops I've been in, that is the case. Even adults who know better, go into "DL Mode." It takes 12-24 months for a Cub Scout Leader to  "unlearn what you have learned," and become a Scouter.

      Also they want Scouts BSA to be family camping. The Scouts planned a fun camp out, and it morphed into a family camp out because all the new families  decided to show up as well. Since we had canoes, we did go over strokes so they could go around the lake and have fun. Races, "War Canoe" obstacles courses, etc. Just basic stroke practice. One Scout and his mom showed up late.. She got ticked off when she found out that we were not doing that warranted advancement getting signed off, just having fun. She yells, '"What is even the point of this camp out?" I replied "To have fun." I got a look of disgust and anger from her. She goes, talks to another mother for a while, then gets her son and leaves. About a week or two later, one dad posts on the facebook page asking why the troop isn't continuing on Canoeing MB since they had started it. Thankfully the SPL saw the post and responded that the PLC had not planned Canoeing MB, it was a fun activity, and that they planed to focus for the month on preparing for the district camporee. Over time we lost almost all of that den.
