So, when a unit recharters on Jan 1, those individuals with expired memberships will be dropped? What about those who lapse a few months after recharter? Will the unit be issued a new roster? That's brilliant. Judging by the high percentage of expired license plated around here because people are too stupid/lazy/clueless to spend 15 minutes online to renew...I have no expectation that this will work. -
As I stated above, all ranks wore the same yellow necker, and dens were not separated by rank and ranks were not separated by grade level. You would have also had a Bobcat pin, which was pretty much automatic, and not considered a "rank". I never got Wolf, since I started at age 9, so my uniform just had a Bear and Lion patch. Got our AOL patch upon crossover to a troop at age 11 and there was no Webelos "rank" or patch. Webelos was generally a 1 year program, not 2. I don't even recall wearing a plaid Webs necker, but my sons did. No "colors" or activity pins back then, either.

Frankly, though I am aware some would scream and stomp feet and so on, I doubt many Scouters living the basic precepts of the Oath and Law would care if a young woman wore that pin on her Scouts USA uniform. I surely would have no issue and think that now, if a GS were to earn Eagle or similar Scout BSA award that she might also wear a pin or knot related to it on her GS uniform. But, that wouold likely raise even more clamor. Respect and fair representation of achievement is always worth noting with people, and especially youth. -
OK, I believe I can conclude that Feb 1969, I turned 8 yrs old. Graduated 2nd grad in May 1969. I would have started 3rd grade Sept 1969. Feb 1970, I turned 9 yrs old. Graduated 3 grade in May of 1970 So the magic year for my entrance as a Wolf as shown in my photos would have been 1969. If I enter into the Scouts at 11 yrs old, it would be the Boys Scouts NOT the Cub scouts. What happens if I joined Cub Scouts at 8 yrs old, but did obtain my Wolf or Bear requirements until 11 yrs old, would I still be considered a Wolf or Bear since I was "working" on my advancements? If you don't get your requirements in by the time you're 11, do they automatically remove you from the Cub Scouts even though you're still working on advancements? I'm thinking all these age & grade requirements are for those you are "entering" into the Scouts. -
Yeah, that's why I'm thinking I joined as a Wolf in third grade (8 yrs old) and then that photo was "printed: out three years later in 1972 when I was actually 11 yrs old.
