No, it isn’t. You cannot have “Moderator” in your title. You are now just “Premier,” at least until you change it. That’s a pretty lofty title anyway.

Well if you could only participate in one forum, I would say scouter.com is not a bad choice.

Given the fact that she has been participating in two troops (one in NY and one in Canada), even before there was any indication that the BSA would open up Eagle to young women anywhere near her time as a youth, it appears that she wants both - the same as many boys. Which doesn’t mean she can have both, if she misses the cutoff, even though it’s through no fault of her own Did someone hack your account?

Making excuses for past behavior and the enablement of inappropriate adult intervention in the program does nothing to alleviate the problem and only models that behavior for those observing. In other words, creating the practice sets bad precedent. Excusing it will only lead to it's continuance and further erode the purpose and effectiveness of the program. "Children" will only grow up as quickly as adults let them. Limit those opportunities and it stunts that growth. By defending the mindset that they are children instead of them as individuals ready to grow into adults, the die is cast

By the time I was in Junior High School, my parents were pretty much hands-off any involvement I may have had outside the home. That included school and church. It was pretty much the same with my buddies. "Hey, Mom, I'm heading out with the guys. See you at supper time." Yep, prior to Junior High we pretty much need getting kicked out of the house, but misery loves company and the group formed. We did Little League, same team, Scouts, Rifle Club, Civil Air Patrol, and a ton of other activities. I have no idea how any of us ever grew up without the constant hovering parents do today.

Awesome video!

Amen, brother. I have said it here before as well as in the non-virtual world. Scouting would be so much better if we could get the adults out of it. I say that with a bit of tongue-in-cheek because adults are needed (adult association, safety, ensure BSA policy and standards etc.), but the vast majority of the adult participation I see regularly has nothing to do with why adults need to be in the program to begin with. Mostly, I see adults doing things counter to being youth-led and counter to the Oath and Law to one degree or another.

Nope! all In full uniform, shirt, pants, necker and belt with the camp knife clipped to it with the belt clip. Maybe a scout or two with the BSA belt ax and sheath knife, too. And don't forget all the scouts with a match case clipped there too, we wouldn't want to leave out any arsonists' issues.

I kidnap them every so often..... hide them away in the woods for a while.

Good adventures! Nice job. Jealous.

Nice mix of events.

Better check out the bugs in the system, there's nothing that says one is restricted in anyway from putting whatever title they wish on the input screen title. One is restricted to only one screen ID, but that can change occasionally to a new unused ID. and the word moderators and members are affixed below the avatar. The point being, as long as one stays within the rules, they should be okay unless someone comes around making up new rules along the way that suits them. This then takes this thread back to where it belongs,
