"where does the book say anything about the World Crest in relation to the top row of knots?" It's in the double secret book. Upon investigation, it doesn't. Once upon a time, an old Scouter told me that and I took it granted that he was right. I'll have to look him up and let him know that he was wrong. " What's the significant of stating that you've never worn the purple patch? Is there a message there?" Yes.

Critters find food. That's one of their two jobs. The other is procreating. If you smell like anything other than a stinky person, something may well investigate you. Buzzing biting insects like smelly stuff as well.

I still want to know why I got moderated for saying "Freaking" and someone can call me an ass with impunity. As I said before (which was moderated) fair doesn't seem to be fair. " I share your concern to hear that which will benefit me, but I admit to feeling it is better if it comes from them that should tell us, yes?" Much more Scoutlike to not tell tales out of school and when one is told, not repeat it. Like fairness, calls for Scoutlike behavior only seem to go one way.

I wonder if they'll be printed in China.

It worked for me. It was there when I needed it and no bears or mini-bears came looking for it.

Sorry FireKat, bad metaphor. Angry folks don't climb hills to laugh. Happy, bemused climb climb hills to laugh. Please try again.

If the new unit has Scout accounts, we sent a check to the new unit for the Scout's new account.

" Come on, fair's fair. Or is it?" I guess it isn't. The angry villagers are headed up the hill to the castle . . .

Hey moderator! He said "ass"! I got moderated when I said "freaking". Come on, fair's fair. Or is it? FScouter, several years?

What bugs me? Hypocrisy. Sanctimony. Political correctness. Change for the sake of change. Capitalists selling our county's future for immediate profits. Socialists wanting to tax us into oblivion to pay for those who aren't willing to work.

I'm being talked about. Both publicly and behind closed doors. Hmmmmm. . . . makes me feel SPECIAL! BTW E, all of my postings have merit, you just can't see it.

Try to justify it as you might, BeeDub, the truth still stands.(This message has been edited by Gold Winger)

Funny isn't it? How some can continually preach about "Scoutlike" behvavior and can chastise with impunity but when one of those conducts himself improperly and is called on it, the person that points out the bad behavior is chastised. I guess that it pays to be special.

OGE, that information is not his to tell. Bob already said that person who told him wasn't the person who is supposed to release said information. I don't see either action as being Scoutlike.

Does the number of people who were told really matter? You're trying to dance around the issue Bob.

I think that the patrol method can survive even if you have dining hall cooking, if your troop is strong in the patrol method.

We must wonder if it is Scoutlike to leak information that is not one's to leak. That would be either the original leakee or leakor who became the secondary leakee.

When my wife and used to have "discussions" over something that I had done which had displeased her, I'd point out that she had done the exact same thing a few weeks earlier. Her response was always, "If you can't see the difference, I can't explain it to you." The same is true in politics. Your side makes carefully considered changes, the other side flip-flops.

That's what he says but it's all about power and control. Besides, at his age, if he's elected and only serves one term, he'll be a fairly young man with a pension of about $200,000 a year plus a couple a million in speaker's fees. Being president is pretty lucrative.

Insurance, for what that insurance is worth, covers any boy of joining age who is coming along with an eye to joining. It won't cover the 8 year old little brother.

I wouldn't cry if the simpler patrol medallions came back, even in brown and tan.

"Work them through a fairly easy MB (computers comes to mind) over a couple weeks." Would that really be doing anyone any favors? They can't earn a merit badge until they join.

Bob, by your own standards, until it is announced officially, it falls into the category of rumor and gossip.
