    • I'm doubling down on my "Eagle Scouts who can't congratulate a new Eagle without making it about themselves and mentioning that they are an Eagle" pet peeve to now also include non-Scouters who just know an Eagle personally and seem to be afflicted with the same condition.  The comment below was on a post announcing a new Eagle Scout and the commenter didn't even bother to offer any kind of congratulations or accolades and jumped straight to making it about themselves (and their husband). 
    • Scouts from Troops 448 (Boys)/4448 (Girls), in Salisbury, recently returned from a backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail near Burkes Garden, Virginia, where seven Scouts and five adults challenged themselves hiking along Garden Mountain. The weekend-long adventure combined outdoor skills, conservation service and personal growth in one of the most remote valleys in the eastern United States. ... Scoutmaster Dr. Prachee Jain indicated that the hike adds another section to Troop 448’s long-term goal of hiking the entire Appalachian Trail.  “The troop began this journey back in the 2003 and over the years, our Scouts have completed roughly 140 continuous miles from Springer Mountain Georgia into North Carolina and numerous additional sections in N.C. and Virginia,” Jain said. “Each trip brings us closer to that goal while building memories.”  More at sources:  https://www.facebook.com/p/BSA-TroopCrew-448-Salisbury-NC-100068853911904/ https://www.salisburypost.com/2025/12/07/local-scout-troops-take-on-appalachian-trail-adventure/

    • That's the risk of pouring millions into improvements of a property you don't own.
    • Scouting's success is inversely proportional to how much scouting is like school.
