@KrisHof welcome to scouter.com. -
I'm taking a crew to do a Sea Base scuba adventure in August. One of the items on their packing lists is a pair of "Neoprene wetsuit socks". They state that will they will "keep your feet comfortable in Sea Base fins". I was hoping someone who has does a scuba adventure can tell me if these types of socks actually help? If so, I would love to hear which one's you went with. -

Very poorly worded.... I would read this to say you must determine whether you can adjust sights before you begin shooting for score... If you can adjust, then do requirement l) and show that you can shoot 15 shots (five groups of three) that can be covered by a quarter. (It doesn't matter where that grouping is on the target.) Then, m) make the adjustment and then shoot 25 shots (five of five) for score (which aims for bullseye) In this scenario, Scouts must shoot a minimum of 40 rounds. If you cannot adjust, you must shoot 25 shots (five groups of five) that can be covered by a quarter. Again, these groupings can be anywhere on the target. Then explain how to adjust. In this scenario, Scouts could complete the requirement with a minimum of 25 rounds. -

We've had a few folks post that their SM refused to allow OA elections. I always thought it was the duty of the SM and assistant scout masters to make program opportunities available which comport with the program, the OA being among them. If the scouts decide not to participate, so be it, but at least they self-select not to participate. We've had the scouts decide not to attend district camporees, mainly because the theme was the same, year to year-cooking-sponsored by a unit which essentially had to fund the materials themselves and did so marginally. It was all lecture-scouts simply watched and did not get to participate. That played out for about 6 years. Our troop only attended the first year. We haven't had resistance to participating in OA, but I can see how the ceremony may not engage the imaginations of modern scouts. I do not know how uniform the OA ceremonies are from Lodge to Lodge. Some may be more engaging than others. In my several year NCAP team involvement, I've seen great variability in the quality of facilities, equipment, and supplies. Probably largely the result of budgetary constraints. It is a tough business putting on a respectable summer camp program. Only a strong cadre of returning staff make it work.
