I checked Harvard's web site and there is of course no record of this occurring. The page with facility hours on it has not been updated since last fall. I could also find no way to reserve a facility other than for a court at the tennis facility. I know from working at our Rec Center on campus that our Professional Staff does everything it can to only schedule facility rentals for times that will least have an impact on the students' use of the facility. To rent out the whole facility would have to come at a time where it is normally closed. Groups are able to rent out parts, but never

Sorry Calico, didn't realize I needed your approval before I posted something. Can I please have your cell pone number so I can call at any moment so we can discuss a topic?

Why are the Muslims considered "special" in this country? We seem to give them whatever they want. We don't do that for other religions.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080304/ap_on_re_us/harvard_women_s_hours By MARK PRATT, Associated Press Writer Tue Mar 4, 6:40 PM ET BOSTON - In a test of Harvard's famed open-mindedness, the university has banned men from one of its gyms for a few hours a week to accommodate Muslim women who say it offends their sense of modesty to exercise in front of the opposite sex. ADVERTISEMENT The policy is already unpopular with many on campus, including some women who consider it sexist. "I think that it's incorrect in a college setting to institute a policy in which

Since the math has been questioned.. it's actually 0.004% or 4 in every 1,000 Scouts.

My take: If you're rejoining Scouts just to get Eagle, you're doing for the wrong reason. If your plan is to do the bare minimum with the troop to skate through and get Eagle, then don't waste the adult leaders' time.

John, maybe you should actually read the posts. Eagle732 at 8:24PM on Feb 25,2008 posted this "I spoke with Philmonts Health and Safety Officer after trading emails and playing phone tag for the last two days. He agrees that EMT exceeds the standard of WFA Basic, However he answers to a Medical Director (an MD whose license the paramedics and health staff operates under) who does not agree."

"Eagle732, why are you so resistant to the additional training?" I'm not Eagle732, but let's think about this. He's already spending a significant amount of money to go to Philmont. You want him to drop another $100-200 on something that he *might* learn something he's not already qualified and certified to do?

Trev, same profession;) just got a promotion you know? Apparently they reward for something...

Lisa, great to hear a little about what you do! I'm just one of pesky first year college students here;) I came into college with 6 American History and 6 Political Science credits from dual-credit classes in high school. But I still have to take a Political Science class to fulfill basic University Studies requirements. I'm thinking about taking it online this summer, what do you think? I look forward to graduating college with my Athletic Training degree and a Political Science minor So I guess to answer your question, I'm a full-time college student and a part-time employee at th

"That brilliant flash you just saw from the East was the light bulb going on in my head." Was wondering about that as I look out my room window looking across the Mighty Mississippi...

"Don't judge a book by its cover" My high school football coach was 5'7" and weighed roughly 225 pounds. On most charts he's "overweight" and maybe even "obese." Guess what... he is far from "fat!" He works out EVERY DAY and does martial arts. He is as strong as an ox. He is one person that I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley even if I've got an assault rifle and he's doesn't have a gun. I think it really comes down to Body Composition. Exercise does so much more than just physical health. It relieves stress. It gives an individual a chance to clear his or her mind. Exercise

About those superdelegates, I heard about the "smoke-filled room" and such, but someone else said there'd be no smoke.. The place that the convention will be held is smoke-free . If it were in Illinois, it'd definitely be smoke-free

This will be my first Presidential election where I can actually vote. Will I? That's still to be decided... Right now I have NO IDEA who I'd vote for. For starters, how many of the major candidates currently hold other governmental positions? Let's see: Ron Paul (is he "major"? in the House of Representatives, Obama in the Senate, McCain in the Senate, Hillary in the Senate... And how many of them have actually done their jobs these last 2 years? They've been too busy campaigning nearly since the 2004 election got over. Hillary rubs me the wrong way after she and Bill "moved" t

So who is going to tell me that the BSA is the ONLY organization that it is possible for a Marine, a President, a Senator, etc to not be eligible for membership.

RememberSchiff, Correct me if I'm wrong, but here's my interpretation of your post.. "It's better we have large amounts of people in our units than it is to have a program that teaches the boys in our units morals and values that we believe in." And I have to disagree. I truly believe that I live the Scout Oath and Law in my everyday life. I'm not perfect, but I try to uphold those values. I feel those things are important.

Pappy, your goal here is to radically change the program as we know it. YOU want that, maybe the boys you know want that. It doesn't appear to me that the people who run the ACTUAL PROGRAM want that. As far as your experiences go, to me, they mean NOTHING when we are talking about changing the program known as the Boy Scouts of America. You are a boys' club (or the 'Be a Man' club) that is operating under the BSA name. What makes the Boy Scout program so good is that a Boy Scout is a Boy Scout a is a Boy Scout. With a standarized uniform, a standarized program (with small deviations), and

Lisa, no Venturing Crews at Jambo. Venturing members can go as Jamboree staff only. Which is also a great bunch of fun!

Well it sounds like you've got some good ideas. Enjoy yourself as you start your own organization. I wish you luck:) Me-- I'll stick to the program that we've got.

Put him in charge of something. Use him as a Troop Guide or JASM. I didn't make Eagle, but I served as a JASM for almost two years. Basically from the time my SPL term expired. I became SPL right around my 16th birthday and then after the SPL, I moved to JASM. If done right, the JASM can almost play an adult role in a youth setting. What I mean by that is the JASM can do certain things that the ASM or SM cannot do.

Beav, we're just like all the rest. We see something and we respond. We have no specific "juristiction" or anything.

Eamonn, you're posting on one right now:) TK, your best bet is to set up a Yahoo Group or MSN Group or something like that. You can lock it up so that only certain people can see what is posted there.

Make Wilderness First Aid certification a requirement somewhere. I'd like to see it required for both adult leaders and for the Scouts above the rank of Star. Well, that's the only thing that comes up right now. I'll post something else later.
