That will be entertaining...trying to find the tribal descendants. That is assuming a lodge is in fact using regalia and symbolism from the local tribe from the area your lodge may be in. For example if one is in Western NC and the lodge is using Cheyenne type regalia but that area was originally Cherokee, who (whom??) from which NA group would be able to approve usage. Is there a form, would it be an e-mail, do you go to their local gatherings? Also what era as the regalia changed over the years as the NA groups came in contact with Europeans.

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV (or the internet), but I'm assuming the court order only applies to the 2 parents. I can't imagine it's enforceable on the camp. It can be used to say the mother is not authorized to pick up the child. It's a little more questionable if the mother can be there during camp. This might have to be resolved by going back to court if the mother is in violation of the court order.

My dad was a WWII submarine veteran. I learned from a very early age that submarines are "boats"...everything else is a "target".

""Blazing Saddles""? Haben sie gesehen ?

I served on the Great Lakes - we call everything a boat - even the 1,000 foot freighters.

This is like Otter's speech in Animal House defending the Deltas.

Our policy is to direct all such requests to the administrator. A camp counselor is not is not supposed to agree, disagree, or even discuss a request like this.

Sounds like extreme sour grapes to me. If mom was going to abscond with kid, she'd do it at 6pm Friday when the OP must give her the child. That mom has visitation shows that she is not a threat. What if mom signed up as a volunteer, passed her background check, and signed up to work daycamp? Would Camp Norse then be responsible for keeping the two apart? I'm sorry that mom had the time to be with son at daycamp and you didn't. Please don't ask volunteer scouters to enforce your pettiness.

As staffing a boy scout camp this year, I have learned we can physically not meet everyone’s need. Counselors go through a lot - more than I expected. I am currently a first year scout instructor and if I had followed every detailed request a scoutmaster or parent asked me, I would be ruining the program for others. If the counselor did handle the situation, the other kids would have had a poor program experience since the counselor would be dealing with a families personal problem. If you do not want her there, then why don’t you stay? I’m sorry to be blunt as well.

Hmm, maybe one of your scouts gave your car a pheromone rinse.

They keep harping on Eagle and he just shuts down. He is almost to Life rank now but isn't interested. I frankly just want him happy, drives me crazy people are so focused on Eagle.
