Mine, too, is fiarly simple. My last name is Hopper therefor I have been nicknamed hops or something similar. The scout part, too, is very simple. I am a Scout. This is my user name pretty much all over the web, except for my email and my website URL.
I have the house to myself tonite for the most part. Please, join me. I'll be in off and on all night long. Going to a Venture Crew meeting afterwhile( first one:)), then I'll be home for the night.
This has been discussed recently..... look in the uniform forum for a thing titled Appropriate HeadGear for Cubmasters??

That should help you some.
I dont remember who said it, but you "older" people may know what I'm talking about though it refers to baseball....
"Baseball is a kids' game, the adults just screw it all up." :):)
You know, we arent too far apart from each other when you think about it.... I'm from just outside of St Louis. There are a couple of people on here from the Kansas City area. Do you have an msn account? If so, go here.... http://groups.msn.com/boyscouts
We go in here and talk in a chat room. You're more than welcome to join us. I'm in there now, if you want, but not for much longer.
I got called out at camp this year, but havent had my ordeal yet.
Just wanted to let you know, I looked at your website, the pictures didnt work.
Check out my troop site----

Hey, welcome, you are welcome here, too. I am a Star Scout and have been active here since December. Come on in, and enjoy, learn some stuff, and invite more people.
I feel you need to change the night of your meeting for the venture crew since they are "active" in both. How do you make them choose? They choose the troop because they are leaders, then they let down the crew when they cant do anything because they arent able to plan anything. and vise versa.
I believe our school has a policy that if it is for a non profit organization, it is free or a small fee. And, they have to have a school rep present the whole time.
Welcome Aboard.
Sounds like to me that patrols need to be combined to get more than 5 people in it. Maybe let them chose a buddy to be in a patrol together??
I'm a troop guide as well. Our New Scout Patrol has two guides. I'm a Star Scout and my partner is a new Eagle. We also have a troop guide with the second year boys as well. Plus, we have almost half the troop who are considered troop guides.
Maybe it is time for the Activity Coordinator to become a boy to gain leadership. You would still need somebody to overlook him at work, but he could do the majority of it. Maybe his parents as the adult??
Whats wrong with "Mail Call"?? Other than the fact that the host is a Marine? (kidding)
BTW--- "Mail Call" will be on in 2 hours on the History Channel
There is no "right" way or "wrong" way.... If there is, please point it out in the US Flag Code. And I believe this is maybe the third time I'm said this is this thread, but you still havent shown it to me.
