  1. I mistyped on my last post and it wont let me correct it, so i have to do it this way. I researched this for well over a month before placing my sons scribe patch on the right sleeve, if you really look at the inside back cover of the BS handbook, that patch is the ending of the Historian position and it is on the LEFT sleeve right below the Patrol patch and the American flag, if you want to look further, check out Badge Master or even look it up online and you'll see what goes where. The Historian position patch is on the RIGHT sleeve below the Patrol patch and the american flag...
  2. scoutldr and gold winger, not to say your wrong but proven facts are this.....leadership patches such as SM,ASM,JSM,JASM,PL,APL all belong on the LEFT sleeve. Job patches such as Bugelar,Scribe,Quartermaster,Historian,Chaplin etc.....these are not leadership positions and belong on Right sleeve. Only leadership positions belong on the LEFT sleeve. We had COH lastnight and I confirmed this with a KAC member. The SC is aware of the boys unknowingly mess up and is having the removed and placed in proper position. I researched this for well over a month before placing my sons scribe patch on t
  3. Here's a very good question for eveyone....... With 13 boys in the troop, should everyone's uniform match???? What I mean with "match" is all patches in the same location. I have noticed in my oldest son troop, out of 13 boys there is only 1 scout who has his patches in the correct location. My oldest became the troops scribe right before summer camp last year; I placed his scribe patch on his right sleeve. He came home from camp and told me everyone told him I messed up and it belongs on his left sleeve and that only leadership patches belong on the left sleeve. I should him the lo
  4. I totally agree with you Ken, they should bring back the skill awards. I dug mine out and installed them on my scout belt. I probably not supossed to have them with my Webelos Den Leader uniform, but I busted my ass to earn them when I was a scout in the mid 70's and I'm pretty proud of it. My youngest son is in my webelos den and he loves getting his belt loops. My oldest son is in the boy scouts and is pretty bummed out that they don't offer them anymore. Those skill awards gave the boys pride. They wear their class A's to every meeting, what do they have to show besides rank for their
  5. This mite sound dumb, but who the heck ib Bob White?????? SA, The SM is there at every meeting, he does a very brief chat with them and then patrols left alone to go over whats coming up. Most of the time the patrols little meets are more like a bunch of pre-schoolers messin around and what should be a 15 minute discusion turns into a hour of bull. Form what we've been told over and over again by the SM is "the boys run the troop" The SM picks each summer who he thinks is good for leadership camp and sends them. Now I have joined the troops committe so I can have a voice in what
  6. 1st I would like to say, I'm not "tainted" by this troop just dumb founded at the lack of leadership. It would be great to see some kind of leadership, but all I see is playing. It's a very small troop, right around 13 boys. They have 2 junior assistant scoutmasters, only because they are getting ready for eagle and are both turning 18 this year. They just reset all their troop positions as of feb 1st. The only time I saw any kind of orginization was when they were wotking on their electronics merit badge, with another local troop, and still they had to stop and go play. Like I said before,
  7. Ok, I'm new here and just got done reading this thread and this is 1 of the reason I decided to join this site. My oldest sons troop is what you call "run by the boys" kind of troop. After sitting in on numerous troop meetings, I got really fed up with the bull that was going on. The meeting is 2 hours long and they say they have to go and play after an hour of doing troop stuff. Never did that when I was in the scouts. The latest "fubar" I watched was this past weekend at their Klondike Derby. Heres the lay out.....theres 4 older scouts, ranging from 1st class to life and 3 scouts ( no ra
  8. Thanks everybody OldGreyEagle, we are in Perry county....ya ya I know, i've heard almost all the jokes about perry county Ok so the questions might not be odd, just confusing situations that raise these questions
  9. Hello ya'll, I'm new to this site but not really new to scouting. I was a boy scout back in the mid 70's and have gotten back into scouting with my 2 boys, My oldest son is in the boy scouts and my youngest is in webelos II, as to which I am his den leader. I will be asking alot of odd questions from time to time, so please bear with me. Most of the questions will be directed about troop activities and how it is run....so please don't think I'm clueless.....Nice to meet you all...
