Did it work? I don't go into the forum because I'm not a member of the OA, but another forum like that requires the above procedure.

Terry said to share with you guys that his team should be adding another server to share the workland that has arised within the next week or so. Please be patient while they work to update it. While doing this, I would think that you should expect there to possibly be times when the site may not work properly.

You have to put your username in where it asks for it; your personal password in the next box; and the forum-specific password in the last box.

For all you naysayers out there, what do you really know about potato guns? Funny I read this as we just experimented with the spud guns recently in my high school Physics class-- that's right, we had guns at school. Anyway, the first day, we used one with a single barrel using hair spray and a zapper. Touch the zapper to a nail inserted in the back of the barrel, the electric shock transfers from nail to nail and sparks the hair spray. Bam! Oh, and did I mention we were using golf balls as projectiles?! (wrapped in electric tape for both padding and to add to the diameter) We also used a

We're hanging out once again

Hey, I'm gonna hang out in the chat room for awhile. Please come on by.. It's been awhile since we've had a nice chat session. http://groups.msn.com/boyscouts/chatroom.msnw

This is my internet ID. Nearly anywhere I go, I use this same ID. It's original enough for me;)

I didnt read the link that was posted above, but I believe it talks about the number that is listed up there as the number of active users. That number is not actually real people. Instead, some of the numbers actually comes from computers crawling thru the cyberspace. Like google, Yahoo, etc as well as possibly some looking to collect email addresses. Dont worry, though, email addresses should be safe unless you've posted it in a discussion.

I've looked about buying a red beret, but decided to instead purchase an 'overseas cap' from ebay. I got it for 10 bucks total and it arrived in like 2, maybe 3 days. I'm thinking about picking up a red beret from the local military store because it is a more 'uniform' type of beret. I think the BSA ones look weird.

"P.S. this kid ran state level cross country...geek?...NOT!" No, that just makes him a athlegeek. But everybody wants to be one of them these days;)

If you're spouse was to watch the skit from the Closing Show at this year's Boy Scout National Jamoboree her opinion would most likely be reinforced... does National also feel Scouts are supposed to be geeks?????!!!!??? I'll admit that I am a geek. My physics teacher keeps telling us that is the hardest part about being a geek--being able to admit to it.. I'm a geek because I get good grades, take Honors classes, etc-- NOT because I'm a Boy Scout. This weekend I went camping with 8 first and second year boys as well as 3 adults. Also, we had a high school aged Italian foreign exch

Welcome back OutDoor Thinker. Pull your log back up to the fire and rejoin us, huh?

Any high school student or teacher can tell you cheating goes on--whether they get caught or not is hard to say. A lot of cheating occurs on homework. I do not allow people to copy my work and I do not copy others' work, but I know that a lot of people do allow it. In our school, cheating would be quite possible during tests and quizzes. Why? Because our school population includes 950 teenagers and the school building was designed for 650. Our school is cramped. Thirty students in one class that are relatively small classrooms it's hard sometimes not to "catch a glance" of somebody's paper. I

Kudu, I've seen a lot of internals that have the bottom pocket used as a place for a sleeping bag too. I wish mine had that in it. Typically, I attach my sleeping bag on top of the main pack underneath the top pocket that is detachable. Another feature of internals is a lot of them have detachable tops that convert into waist packs. I keep items such as rope, first aid supplies, rain gear, and a survival blanket in the top pockets. I keep my main first aid kit, my knife, a Mini-Mag, and a whistle on my body myself, and not on the pack.

That way we can no longer be the "Boy Scouts of America" but rather the "Boys of Troop XXX"

That site is owned by AlpsMountaineering.com who I have been told is a great company. It seems there were a lot of their tents set up at Jambo this year and were great. I am looking at getting one of their sleeping bags. At a 45% discount, who can complain?!?

I'm hanging out and am hoping for some company. Those of you on the East Coast have nothing else to do, do ya? With all that rain and all. I'm glad it aint like that here;)

I got this in an email. I don't usually do anything with forwards, but delete them. This one I highly agree with. Story in Tampa Newspaper WILL we still be the Country of choice and still be America IF we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in America because it is the Country of Choice?????? Think about it . All I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? I celebrate Christmas, but because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Gre

I'm lighting the beacon now. HELP! The search crew should be activated for chatters. Come join us.

Hey guys, we're hanging out once again tonight. Please come on by. Right now, the beacon is looking for a certain Brit who has gone MIA in the chat room.

I think you are overreacting. Guess you could be underreacting? And if you'd have to choose, you'd take the overreacting. I dont think it really matters how old they are, you have Life Scouts here (near Eagle) at a point where I really think they should be on the verge of Eagle. They understand the Scout Law and Oath. It's a troop campout-- shouldn't the Scout Law and Oath still be expected? If not, then it isnt a troop campout. Yes, this comes from a 16 year old kid. My opinion, you think, would probably go the way of the Scouts. Let them be teenagers and TRUST them. I believe the first

Our troop allows us to use personal tents and if done so, we basically decide on whether we will sleep with a tent buddy or not. Of course, Camporees or other events where the campsite is limited in size, we will sometimes have to pair people up, but typically not.

That would require being able to predict the future. Also, many times in disasters people are spread out; not 40 thousand all together like that. And, who would be responsible for paying for the infrastructure to be built?

This year I had the opportunity to attend the 2005 National Scout Jamboree as a member of the Action Center D Rapelling Tower youth staff. Some of the stuff I learned there is stuff I will never forget. Friendships were made; rewarding experiences had. Trust was an absolute must on our tower and I definitely felt its presence. Also, our participants (450+ average daily) had to trust each instructor on the tower. Apparently they did:) I havent been home for more than a month and I'm already ready to head back. 5 years and waiting...

Somebody either here or over at meritbadge.net from the Texas area was saying that the Houston Police has told the local council to stop units from attempting to volunteer at the AstroDome. I would guess that those states directly hit also would like them to stay out.
