    • For any who use Troopmaster... we have a scout who transferred to our unit.  His old unit kept an activities log on Scoutbook, so I'm able to see what he had done that applies to his First Class rank requirement for 10 activities.  However, in Troopmaster, I can't figure out how to enter them.  I can edit the entire requirement to show it as completed, but he only has 8 of the 10 activities done.   Troopmaster, as we've been using it, pulls from the activities we enter and the attendance for those activities.  Since he wasn't with our Troop last year, the activities he attended aren't listed.  Any suggestions??  At this point, I'm thinking maybe just wait until he has two more activities done, then mark the requirement as done?
    • I remember earning the world crest patch by going to an international event in Canada too and IIRC there were a few other requirements?. Our troop participated in the event for years. It was great. Does that mean I earned the current rendition of the award? LOL
    • I think mine was $50, and it was food (pizza & soda) for the volunteers. I still visit the site of my project now and again. Since then, others (scouts?) have taken it upon themselves to continue and expand my project. Almost 50 years and the unmarked path in an area of the park the county did not even know was their property is now a marked trail with a parking area and kiosk. 
    • I read the article below about value given by Eagle projects of a certain District to its community and comparing the value of Eagle projects in other Districts. The value was in dollars! Only one Eagle project was briefly described "resurfacing of the playground" as it had the highest value to the community at $10,091. "Eagle Scout projects completed in the Powderhorn District — which covers western Oneida County and all of Madison County and serves more than 700 youngsters in 45 units — contributed an average of $2,053 per project, surpassing the contributions from other districts in the region, the announcement said. The Adirondack Foothills District averaged $1,719 per Eagle Scout project, while the Susquehanna Headwaters District averaged $1,329, officials added." Really? The value of Eagle Projects is in the money spent? Maybe the dollar amounts should be removed from Eagle Project Workbooks so as not to confuse people with the true value of Eagle projects.

    • Another "Skilled Trades Center" to be built. This time by Dan Beard Council for $3.25M at Camp Friedlander outside of Cincinnati, OH. Source: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2025/01/23/dan-beard-council-paul-hemmer-skilled-trades.html
