      Board of Reviews: Why Have Them

      By Armymutt · Posted

      That sounds a bit like every summer camp I went to as a Scout.  I earned four merit badges during summer camps - Pioneering, Motorboating, Waterskiing, and Backpacking.  The last was Philmont.  We just had fun at our camps.  The troop in IL had a routine that we sometimes modified - we did a float trip on the Current River, swam in really cold springs, went water skiing, swimming, and motorboating on Clearwater Lake most days, and had some side trips to a state park or two.  Those were filled with hiking, fishing, and cliff jumping.  In England, the first troop didn't do a week trip.  The second one did Philmont and Kandersteg.  My sash only has 22 merit badges, but none for all the memories.

      We never had a BOR, other than for Eagle.  Maybe we had a rolling BOR?  In my second troop, I wasn't aware that we had a committee until 3 years ago, and I left that troop in the summer of '90.  The next two troops didn't have them either.  We just did our thing.  Maybe it was a military culture and the constant challenge of learning and leading were just ingrained.

      Delaying BOR because...committee meeting for another troop and a holiday?

      By Armymutt · Posted

      As expected, he has to wait until January.  He was able to complete the Second Class BOR and First Class SM conference on Tuesday.  Crappy situation.
