I find it appalling that our National Anthem is being sung & recorded in Spanish. I wish someone would start again to make English our official language. I know Peter King from Long Island tried but it was voted out. I could rant on & on but I won't because I don't have the time right now! Judy

Is there a limit to number of Tiger Electives beads earned?
GopherJudy replied to johndaigler's topic in Cub Scouts
Wow! That's a lot! I'm a Tiger Den Leader & we've done electives at den meetings & I've asked what they've done at home. I know that the boys read every night for school but I've explained to the parents that they can't get credit every time they read & they understood! The same with playing board games! They've gotten credit for it about 3 times & not right after each other. We have pack night on April 21st & my 3 Tigers will be getting their 4th Tiger Track Bead. They will probably have 6 beads each by the time we have pack graduation on June 9th (we couldn't get a later -
The movie is "Monty Python & the Holy Grail"! A very deep & intellectual movie! LOL!! Judy

No, we're normal, the rest of the people are weird! LOL!!! I wake up during the night too & check the computer! Judy

I think it all depends on the person. I was my son's ADL from Bears to Webelos II & when he crossed over to Boy Scouts in March 2005 I was very "lost" & "denless". I really enjoyed the time I spent with the boys in the den & helping them learn new skills, things, etc. & watching them grow. I was still involved in the pack at pack meetings committee meetings. When September rolled around I helped out with registration & told the CC & CM that if none of the parents want to be the Tiger DL that I would take on that responsibility. I went to Tiger Leader training (already h

Eamonn, This is sooooooooo true! Also, when your children are playing & they stop, run over to you & give you a big hug & kiss & tell you they love you & then go back to playing! I'll take this bargain any day! Judy

I feel left out as I didn't receive mine yet! Someone e-mail me a copy so I can join in the fun! LOL! Judy P.S. Do they ever make typos? We could check for them too!

Thanks Scouter Terry, it's faster! I thought I had done something wrong when the site wouldn't come up but then I remembered that you were upgrading! Great job! Judy

Hey Pack! We take a charter boat out of Captree State Park on the South Shore of Long Island & fish on the Great South Bay. The 1st year we went I caught 2 fluke & a cold, it was raining! The mates even filet the fish for you! It was nice to have fresh fish! This year the boat leaves at 3:30pm! ScoutingAgain, I saw Madagascar & the only thing I can remember is the song "you've got to move it, move it" because my 2 kids sing that a lot! LOL! I'll have to check out the "specialist propaganda". I wonder if PETA knows about this? In my opinion, I'd rather se

Well as a single mom, my husband died in April 1997 & 2 children ages 11 & 9 it's not easy, especially when I lost my job back in April 2003. It took awhile but I had a job but only for a week, they said I was too slow. Personally, I think the person who was training me didn't like me for some reason. I found another job 2 months later & that lasted for 7 weeks, they let me go because I wasn't fast enough, it was A/P & very busy at times. I thought I was doing ok. I did find a job in January 2004 which lasted for 1 year. They let me go because I had gotten really sick over Chri

No, you're not the only one! I have to enter my name & p/w every time I post and/or reply. You can make a donation to me if you want! LOL! Judy

I watched all of the videos & after the last one finished & said produced by the BSA or something similar I noticed this was made back in 1989! Don't they have anything more current? I was surprised too at the suggestion that competition was a step in learning like OGE was. I did notice that none of the leaders had a trained patch on! It was good butI'm sure that things need to be added. How to deal with a scout with behavior problems, or learning disabilities, etc. Judy

I hope that the next time I eat flounder I'm not going to be arrested or after I eat it decide to kill some people! Good grief! I've never heard so much drivel in my life! What a whacked out organization PETA is! Judy P.S. Our pack fishing trip in June 3rd, anyone want to join us!

Semper, Thanks so much for the link to the Scouting Humor site! I clicked on everything & was laughing so much my stomach hurts! Judy

Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I'm kinda in reverse with my dreams! I dream about new crafts & things for my Tigers to work on! I must think too much! LOL! On a different note, last night I had a dream that it was "raining" snowballs! Maybe I've just lost my mind! Judy -
RMV, Thanks for clarification on LDS Scouts. Judy

Happy New Year! 1. I will do my best to eat healthier & to exercise more so I can lose weight. I want to be able to walk in the Memorial Day Parade without panting! 2. To remember to make some of the crafts myself before I have my Tigers do them at a meeting! I had a snowglobe disaster! I used the wrong glue, it dripped into the water, too much glitter & it leaked! I was able to fix the problems though! 3. To finish organizing my scouting paperwork, magazines, etc. I'm sure that there's more I could do but I can't think of anything else at this moment! Judy

Eamonn, I don't relish the conversion job you have! Unfortunately (sp?) manufacturers of female clothing do not have a standard size as ScoutNut has said which makes buying clothes very difficult & frustrating! I am overweight & my upper arms are large & you'd think that the larger sizes would have the sleeves bigger! No, at times I have to take a larger size just to fit my upper arms! The same with shoes & sneakers. The best thing would be to have the females try the uniforms on to see what fits them best. Good luck! Judy P.S. I'm "Slightly hippy" too

Hi Packsaddle! Glad you're back on Earth! To add a little levity to this discussion, I have the answer to who/where are the "Missing Links". My 2 brothers are the missing links as at times they don't form words, they grunt instead! LOL! I can say this as I'm older than they are! Judy

How did you guys find this info? I think it would be soooooo cool if they did have a US council map as Oak Tree suggested. Miki101 with all the docs that you have you should write a book about Scouting History! I would love to read it! The Council that I'm in, the Suffolk County Council was formed on April 6, 1919; it has it on their website as I wasn't even thought of since my grandmother was only 18 at the time! As to the "side thread"! I love The Beatles, I still have the "Hard Days' Night album that I got for my 7th birthday in 1964! I do love Cream & Eric Clapton &

Cubmaster Fred, We live in Lake Ronkonkoma & the troop & pack are chartered to the American Legion. Where did you grow up on LI? Judy

That's cool that you received some useful scouting stuff for Christmas! Hey VentureScout! The oldest patch that your girlfriend got you from 1957 was the year that I was born! Should I get a cane? LOL! That's really great that she was able to find the patches she got for you! I'm glad that all of you had a great Christmas! Judy

It is a freak(y) accident! What I don't understand is why a pocketknife was open when you're raking leaves??? I find that very strange & extremely unsafe. A pocketknife is not needed to rake leaves! Any adult or child knows that. Judy

IMHO I think that ID is creationalism in disquise & not a science. It should not be taught as science in publice schools. ID could be taught in Sunday School or other religious classes in a house of worship. Judy

You are right, every den is allowed to perform at a pack meeting! I would guess that the only reason a den wouldn't perform is that they didn't have a skit,song, etc. Our pack also has each den do set up, clean up, flag ceremony & snacks & that rotates for every month. I feel like I'm missing something but I can't think of what it is at this moment! Good luck with your pack meetings! Judy
