  1. In for a little bit while I work on the computer for awhile.
  2. http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39279&postdays=0&postorder=asc&topic_view=&start=15
  3. Pounder, what you dont know is that I earned 3 ranks since February. Before that, I wasnt so motivated on advancement, but as my ScoutMaster said," Advancement isnt for everybody." Then he talked about how I was a den chief, etc. Season's going alright.... Won last night, we're 2-2 and start conference play next week.
  4. Our troop has a trailer. I dont remember what kind it is, but I do know that we dont have any lettering or anything on it, as of now. It is two or three years old. I'll try to find a picture of a similar one..... We have shelves added in there which we got from the WalMart when they relocated. We carry most of our stuff in there, but we also have some storage space thanks to our CO, the VFW. I found a few things.... http://www.wellscargo.com/models/cargo_fr.html This has a few, one with a picture of a scout group packing it with gear. It is probably too small though. We have one similar to the Tote Wagon at that address above.(This message has been edited by hops_scout)
  5. An hour long??????!!!!!!!!!!!! The last one I had took maybe 5-10 minutes. And half that time was spent laughing;)
  6. Ox, I'd love to help...but my time will be limited somewhat. Let me know, and we will go from there;)
  7. "I'd argue that they aren't official since BSA never manufactured pants in that configuration." If the zipper is covered, you would have to be up close to notice they are zip offs. I think having something like that is a great idea... might actually convince me my mom needs to buy me a pair;)
  8. I wanted to add..... you can also include PowerPoint on a website, but I would still have Cds made. Maybe you could find somebody to take the Power Point and take it another step by using Flash 5:) I wish I could learn that quickly:)
  9. No, I'm sorry, I dont have any insight for you.. BTW- welcome and make yourself at home.. One question though, your title is a bit off.
  10. Ox, because you are a Scouter and without you and others, we wouldnt have this program which I enjoy so much..... I would be willing to help you set up a website. Probably ending up with NO costs to you whatsoever. for starters at least:) I say that because you could sooner or later go deeper and pay like 6 bucks a month for no ads or even get a .com or .org, etc You can check out these sites to see what I can do and how I do it. Any questions, let me know... http://hops19.tripod.com --- my site http://highadventurebsa.tripod.com http://troop323.cjb.net http://pack301.cjb.net
  11. Bats:Both; not much power, but it will go;) Throws baseball: better right, but can left right handed, I can throw upwards of 300 feet and throw in high 60s Throw Football: better right, some left about 35 yards Shoot rifle: left Archery: right Write: left Kick soccer ball: better left, but can right Kick football: powerful with left foot punt: 50 yards, field goals: 25, kick offs: about 40... and I'm not a starter in any of those:) Eat: the quickest way to the mouth;) Shoot basketball: can both, better right Shoot hockey: right
  12. "If he doesn't start Sport X by the third grade he'll never be any good." That is most positively FALSE. FOG, I think you were saying it was false as well, but just backing you up if so. I didnt start playing football until the 7th grade(we just got little league football the year before and I had been begging for a while;)) Now, two years later, I barely leave the field. And that is with 28 people on the team.
  13. In now. Watching the Fighting Illini football game
  14. This is a little bit off of your question, but.... Our SPL is the last ASPL. Every six months, we elect a new ASPL. After that six months, he is the new SPL. Our troop is kind of in the middle. Our PLC gets very little done, but do some stuff. Our SM does a lot towards planning and such.
  15. Red Feather would like that, but he's wanted in Southern Il specifically Okaw Valley Council more!!:);):)
  16. In now. Will be in and out all night.
  17. You know, I am sure getting tired of you people conplaining about people not wanting to spend $40 dollars for a Boy Scout shirt, but are willing to spend $150 for shoes or whatever.. I dont agree with $150 shoes, my last pair were 10. But, I believe you guys need to just lay off that reason... it's been said way too many times now.
  18. "However, it does say "Leadership" not "service" This is coming to a head because a father thinks that it is grossly unfair that his 12 year old son may have to wait until March for a POR when the positions are scheduled for turnover. This is the guy who served as PL over the summer. He could have stayed as PL but Daddy discouraged it which is too bad. So far, the kid has had less opportunity than my Lab to show leadership." Then it is his fault he has to wait. Make him wait. Unless he does something that would be a not good enough Eagle project, etc then I dont think a service project should count.
  19. Just wanted to let you know, I started this site Tuesday night after I made a statement about "something special" in the What is your program.... thread. Keep the comments coming.
  20. 4 hours until the 2nd year after America was attacked. Please take a few moments to think about it. Also, please look at this website: http://neverforgetnyc.tripod.com Email me your comments, and I will make a guestbook from them. And remember to fly Old Glory
  21. Hmmmm.... Add a climbing tower, large lake or pool for canoeing( large lake preferred, but pool would work if big enough), one established campsite, several semi established sites along trails. Add more trails. Much longer. Must have a flag pole.... lashed together of course;)
  22. Laurie, they arent allowed to say stuff about the president... it would probably go against somebody's right:) Oh, and dont you remember, they are trying to ban kids saying the pledge in school. Oh, and I wanted to let you know(Wow, this is the perfect place for me to tell you:)) I will have something I consider special posted Thursday morning. Just getting excited thinking about it:)(This message has been edited by hops_scout)
