    Coed Scouting in USA?

    in Open Discussion - Program

    i don't know, that could be a good thing; maybe being a scout might be a little more "cool"

     

    on the other hand, you loose sight of what scouting i about, snoring, belching, and farting...getting dirty and telling dirty jokes...this could change a lot of things

    How many adults

    in Open Discussion - Program

    Posted

    we have several adults in our troop who don't even have kids who are active in the toop any more, and some who are more active then their kids. Although the devotion is great, it appears to me that it becomes a pissing contest between these adults over who is more "involved" and "commited"

    GAMEBOYS ?

    i'm not sure i agree with the ban...i think scouts should figure it out for themselves. I've been to summer camp several times, and there have been a couple things i have noticed about electronics toys with the scouts...

     

    for one: i used to bring things like cd players and palm pilots, but i found that i never used them at all

     

    but also for the kids who do use them, it is probably a good thing. I am thinking of one expirience where a few scouts got bored. and knowing the feeling, i know that that is not a good thing...they got bored, started messing arround, and winded up distroying some equiptment from another troop. i know the adults in charge of that trip whould have rather seen those boys quiet in their tent, even if they were playing gameboy or whatever

    A wagon on a backpacking trip

    in Open Discussion - Program

    Posted

    As one of the scouts involved with this "incident" I have to add a few comments of my own:

     

    first: before we start arguing...where is the damage? I want to know what "Junior" claims to be destroyed about his beloved wagon

     

    two: the damage inflicted on the wagon (if any) was a direct result of his incompetence when it comes to backpacking because if he can't fit all of his stuff for ONE night in a backpack the how can he be expected to teach younger scouts how to efficiently "backpack"?!?!

     

    three: notice how I call this "BACKPACKING" because the troop permission slip does indeed call the trip a "backpacking" trip not WAGONING!

     

    as a final note: we were never asked to bring overloaded wagon down the road. First we walked all the way down the road with our own personal gear, dropped then at the car, then proceeded back UP once again to assist the younger scouts by bringing the wagon down the car. This was a complete act of charity on our part...we hiked twice as far as everyone else on that trip...

     

    grr...
