I am willing to give a ride to the first 6 boys who show up in uniform for an event. Out of uniform Scouts are welcome to the event, just find their own ride. If no one likes my terms, I'll leave my van at home and take the Goldwing.

The Army has their reasons and the BSA has it's own. The Army uses a flag that looks proper when they are advancing. The BSA uses a flag that looks proper when they are spinning clockwise. I can respect both.

Kahuna, How did this turn out?

Wow, the folks from Buffalo are posting already? I didn't thing the snow would have them trapped inside yet.

Thank God my son is almost old enough to join tigers in two years and can save me from this creepy life I've been living for the last 25 plus years since I first signed on as an ASM.

It's not like you pay your fee and then set off on your own for an hour ride. Organizers supply a starting point, Parade permit, Closed course and police escort, ending point with DJ and food (or food vendors), sometimes a Tshirt is included or available, Bike show, trophies for best in show, farthest from home, best paint job..., Oldest bike, oldest rider. And that's just for a small "event". Take it up a notch and you have local bike shops with demo rides, Leather shop selling jackets, Swap shop area, Lawyer giving out all sorts of goodies with his name and number on it, Rider Ed programs... Think county fair for bikers.

Got to be a way to solve this... SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF'S EXPLORERS - http://www.post1036.com/ Horse drawn hay wagon - http://www.tophandranch.com/ Red Cross Local radio (best if it's AM talk radio) Or if all else fails, rent a mini van and make 2 trips, after all, it is with in walking distance.

Check with the camp, many camps have a van that they will use to transport a troop (with or with a fee). Also check with: Area church/daycare near by troops Taxi Army/Navy/Marine recruiter Hiking club trail guide/outfitter Limo company (you never know who will help out)

For a small state, we've got a good number of CT scouters here.

BW, Would it make more sense to you if it was a classic car show? Or a haunted house? The organizers of an event are providing a real service. Many times I have paid my $10 to get in when the money was going to business never mind a non-profit. To top it off, half the time we also had to bring a toy to donate too.

Where would a patrol go on a camp out? I know CT state camp grounds won't let them in with out an adult and most private camp grounds require 21+ to rent a site. Would a BSA camp let them in with out a SM/ASM?

The product is admission to the event. Same as going to see a movie, you pay to get in. Sounds like a good idea, contact your local Blue Knights, Red Nights, Wild Pigs, GoldWing Touring Association, Goldwing Road Riders Association.... There's a lot of family men (and women) riding in these clubs that would be a good fit for your event.

If you waste your time a-talking to the people who don't listen to the things that you are saying who do you think's going to hear? And if you should die explaining how the things that they complain about are things they could be changing, who d'you think's goin' to care? (Kris Kristofferson To Beat The Devil)

I'm a little garden flower Growing stronger by the hour I wish I may, I with I might have the thing I lost last night As with most songs, exact words change from singer to singer... Some grow faster and some are little prairie flowers. I have heard great things about this camporee from the boys (T115 Naugatuck). Will you be going to the one hosted by the Canadians in the spring?

You've got my support from the right.

"I am Scoutmaster for a small troop" No such thing, it's a large troop with several openings.

I expect they leave a trail of kids that don't measure up to their standards.

Stosh, 18 is an adult, but they are not used to being legally accountable for the kids. It's best to give them time to get the idea in their heads that was a prank or a joke last year is jail time this year. SctDad, Keep in mind that this adult can not tent with his cousin.
