If you check page 9 of the workbook you will find "Preliminary Cost Estimate" and one of the items is other.The asterisk then lists *Such costs as food, water, gasoline, parking, permits, equipment rental, sales tax, etc. So if it is listed in the workbook I don't see how they can deny it.

First I think that this ban on water guns is a little extreme, but as BB RO I wasn't allowed to put up pictures of any living thing.

Second to the question of gun and firearm being synonymous, if you are in a banquet hall and a stranger comes in and someone yells "he has a gun" do you duck and cover or ask if it is a firearm or some other type of gun.

In the original thread, the G2SS is used to explain why you can no longer do Patrol camping. My question is if ScoutBox is in Switzerland does G2SS apply or is G2SS a BSA document. Does the World Scouting Organization follow G2SS. I truly don't know but am asking.

Congrats OGE. I know they made a good choice with you and anyone you would nominate.

Glad to have met you and to have seen your fun side and your commitment to Venturing and Scouting. Being a local kind of Scouter it was great to see people from Boston to West Virginia coming together for training.

Don't see how you could have gained weight with all the walking and the Low-fat? and healthy meals?

Hope to see you in the future at training or a Rendezvous.

Yes Tom O.

I was also on staff.In kitchen and Equip Quartermaster. Walt did a great job. I couldn't believe the number of consultants that were backups or backup backups, because of last minute cancellations or no-shows. By the skits the Crews put on, I think everyone had fun and learned somethings.

You can take out the leg zipper, hem them and then put velcro where the zipper was. You can cut up from the top of where the zipper was to get enough room to remove the legs if need be. There was enough room in the bottom that the velcro worked on mine.

In my council I went to the Boy Scout summer camp Shooting Sports Director for my training. I met with him at camp, as camp was started before I needed my card. He went over the training and we talked about the needs of Cubs and all the safety rules and how to handle each range. I needed separate cards for BB and Archery.

Our Council does it in February. They have found that the food pantries get plenty of food early for Thankgiving and Christmas, from all the other food drives, and the pantries need the food most later on.

Our prayers go out for you and your wife. Hope all turns out well.

I know a District that went to a Saturday Brunch for their "District dinner". They start around 10:00 and are done by about 12:30 - 1:00. They have increased participation and are up to about 90 from a low of 40. Maybe more people will come if it doesn't run so late at night.

I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too

But now I've finished Eagleing, I don't know what to do

I'm growing old and feeble and I can Eagle no more

So I'm gonna work my ticket if I can...

If you are going to ask, the three questions you should ask are

1. Did he attend a resident or long term camp since he has come back to the Troop?

2. Does he have the rest of the 15 days/nights in overnight, weekend or other short-term camps since he has come back to the Troop?

3.And were the days/nights all in before the election?

But,as nldscout said one election per year.(This message has been edited by EagleWB)

SR540Beaver,

Thank You for this recipe. It sounds like the one I had. I searched the internet but didn't use Google. I guess that I should change to Google to get results.

Eaglescout2004, it was made with flour, whole wheat flour, powdered milk, bran cereal, raisins, sugar and yeast(from memory). It was rolled out into logs about an inch in diameter then cut into lenghts of about 1-2 inches long then baked. I'm not sure whether this came from Ordeals way back when of our lodge or National. I do know our Arrowmen look forward to it at our Ordeals. I will let you know what I come up with.

For any Food Committee people out there. I lost my recipe for ordeal bread. Do any of you make ordeal bread for your Ordeals and can you give me the recipe or point me in the right direction to find it?

Thank You

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Our Council takes from 2-6 weeks for the Course Director to let you know he has everything to present to you. A lot depends on how busy the director is and what they bought ahead of time.

On the last course I was on staff, most of the tickets were approved by the guides by the last day of the course. Some were approved at the Patrol meetings, some on the last day of the course. The final say should come from your Permanent Coach Counselor, who you should contact within 2 weeks of the end of your course. Unless you went out of council you should know who that is before the end of the course. If you went out of Council and didn't get a name, call your Council WB Coordinator.

K9, I couldn't do that because a uniform is not required, but I believe an Eagle candidate should know the importance of having a uniform and could not sit this board.

dan, Just about everyone here says you can't require a uniform, so I'm not sure how you can say the adults don't have strong leadership skills. I take it you would sit on this board the same as any other.

Ed, I wouldn't vote no, I wouldn't sit on this board. I take it you would sit on this board same as any other.

I have been following the other discussion and I know a uniform isn't required. How would you handle an Eagle BOR if the Scout showed up with no uniform? I would probably excuse myself from the Board and let it contine without me, because I wouldn't want to add to the requirements, but I couldn't sit and pass a scout for Eagle with no uniform. Maybe it's a good thing I don't sit on the Eaagle BOR's for our Council.

If you have or someone you know has pictures, you could make a slide show and run it during your B&G dinner or a pack meeting. Make up a camp display of other pictures and any crafts or mementos from camp. Have the Cubs that went to camp talk about what they did. Maybe you could get a staff member, that the boys really connected with, come in and talk about camp.

Eamonn,

Talk to him so that you will not feel guilty. Explain how close he is and how much it might make a difference in the future, but it is his decision. At times I have felt like I have done more for other peoples sons than my own. My youngest will be 18 soon and is still First Class, but he is Vigil, a committee chairman, staffed 2 weeklong JLTs, been to Sea Base, hiked 100 miles of the AT, etc and has served as summer camp staff 3 yrs, as well as day camp and Cub wkends. He stayed with the program and has grown. Would I have liked to have seen him become Eagle? Yes but it is more important to me that he has stayed with the program and has grown with it. Advancement was never something he was concerned with. I talked to him several times but always left it up to him.

Sounds like OJ is a GREAT Scout and will probably come around. Just have a talk with him, like a Scoutmaster conference, and see what his thoughts are.
