If thats the case... Shouldn't we be doing that at the troop level? I rather chat with you guys on a open forum than talk to a guy thats trying to sell me a load of goods. So thank you for your candid responses and patients. Frank

John Yes there is a OA forum. But it is closed to all non OA members. So nonmembers Elect the Scout/Scouter to be recruited as a AO Hopefull. I was wondering how they(the OA) selected the quality of their members? I'm not wanting to start a mud slinging debate, but I feel it "MIGHT" not be all worth while for the candidates. Frank

yes I read the site info... But in a nut shell response would the best and elite Scouts and Scouters? Whats the benefit? No about the arrow men. Frank

Where can I get info on the OA Program? What is its real purpose? I have other questions but I'm not wanting to stir the pot just because I have no insight to that part of the scout world. Frank

I took mine out of the package tonight...it is sharp. The kids want one now. Frank

On his own as in not in a class with other scouts.. not to by pass proceeder but some kids have interest that are not share by the other boys. contact the MBC and SM is not a problem. Thanks Again Frank

thats what I thought....keep those boys rollin. Thanks Frank

If a kid wants to pursue a merit badge on his own and has a councilor in the troop do we discourage this until other boy's are interested? I've herd that they aren't to do merit badges on their own. Frank

Just one...Bobcat FrankBoss

Well I guess my WB necker will be the pattern for my future neckers... I just think if we want the boys to be in uniform the leaders should do the same, FrankBoss SR940 Eagle

Thats what I have in my book....I'm scanner less for a while now.. but I plan on making the Pack after the school year is over.

1959 Patrol Leaders book..has plans. Frank

I want a "A" shaped Tent with two poles for sure. The one I saw had aluminum poles. And Guys I have better quality equipment but the JUNK tent lasted a very long time with little to no problems. So Go ahead and judge it as you will. I worked all summer back in the day just to buy a tent and a Bicycle. Looking back at the investment it was loads of fun... And a lesson in Fun...my 7 year old loves it, I see no problem with what little was payed and the smile on his Face. Thanks Anyways FrankBoss(This message has been edited by FrankBoss)

When I was younger I had a A frame tent. it was the best. Fast to setup..easy to repair.. cheap and light... I got it when I was a Webelo and Carried it all threw my scouting well into Explorers. I took care of it and it lasted 20 years. It was what a young man could afford nothing Hi Tech but simple water proof. My Dad and I took it on a 50 miler and camped in mountains in the snow. I made my own rain fly that mounted to the poles and kept the gear out of the direct rain. I was Quite proud of the little tent. Now my kids in Scouts I have shopped for a two man tent to pack and camp

that is a good link.... I'll be able to show the boy some projects so they can plan them out. FrankBoss

Good stuff. I did buy some Field books, haven't received them yet. I see all the Bridges and towers now!") Any Tent Plans? FrankBoss

I was wondering if there was resources for Vintage scout projects like Lookout towers and Tents. I have a book with a Jumbo Tent and Green Bar Back Pack. Lets start Lashing and sewing! FrankBoss

Had Ours Yesterday..it was a Big Hit! Car Show.. Races... Displays of Cars from Pinewood derby past. Dougnut sales.. and lots of singing, yelling,,, photos and having fun. FrankBoss

I was working on a leather program for the older cubbys to make neck slides. So I went to the Scout store and bought my self the Cub Leader neckerchief. got home and tried it on and the thing is TOO small.. less than two inches of fabric hanging out the slide. Talking about goofy looking. They really should add some more fabric to these if adults are to wear them. Frank

My Former Troop was 789 in the 80's... Now I'm a leader in my youngest sons Pack 241. I'm as active as I can be in my other sons troop 241. Looks like I'll be around scouting quite a while... Frank PS...Sooner

Thanks I hope to be in SR-940 training this summer. There has to be more Okies on here?!! Frank
