  2. In my neck of the woods, the number of people is right, but the date is already overtaken by events. Local governments have set an ENFORCEABLE public health ban on such gatherings until April 24. Watch your own local guidance. Comply with governmental mandates.
  3. The one thing I can think of is grocery delivery in smaller towns. Mr/Mrs Smith call the Troop scribe. Scribe parcels out the task to a Scout. Scout gets to store and delivers groceries to front stoop. Scout calls Mr/Mrs Smith from the sidewalk. Scout observes Mr Mrs Smith take groceries inside.
  4. Here’s my question Can the National Council earn Journey to Excellence Gold while its in chapter 11? 🤪😜🤣😂😳😱🤦‍♂️
  5. I concur with DR. Here is the scouting news wire post. That said, the letter that opens this is solid The Boy Scouts of America Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy to Equitably Compensate Victims While Ensuring Scouting Continues Across the Country February 17, 2020 Share this story Local Councils are Not Filing for Bankruptcy as They are Legally Separate and Distinct Organizations
  6. Why aren’t adults trusting the Scouts to honor the Scout Law? youth bed down is youth leader business.
  7. What Scoutmaster other than a micromanaging egomaniac wants more stuff on his plate? A Scoutmaster’s duty is to his unit, his SPL, and his PLC. Unless he has a truly unique skill (he’s the only civil engineer in a rural district), let others do the counseling. You can find this philosophy throughout the Scoutmaster’s Handbook. Besides, just like parents, MB Counseling is as much about the Adult Association Method as it is about Advancement. Youth need a broad exposure to the ways of adults. We have seven years before some of them are out the door and on their own.
  8. I defer to your Lodge and Section Adviser.
  9. Leave it be. You don’t know how many others nominated him.
  10. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
  11. Saw this elsewhere, thought it worth sharing. https://apsari.com/these-glow-in-the-dark-ropes-are-a-must-have-for-camping-trips
  12. Go buy a working supper for the Council Surgeon. Ask him for his/her guidance and advice. our Council requires an MD be the Reservation Surgeon at one of our properties, and a RN-NP or PA at the other, on property 24/7 when camp has paying campers on property.
  13. Remember the app specifies parental letters. As to why, in both cases divorce was involved. BITTER divorce.
  14. Moderator Note If you have something to say to a member directly, please use the messaging function. Thank you.
  15. We have infinite quantities of solar, geothermal, and wind sources. We should use more of them and less carbon based fuels. There are other uses for hydrocarbons.
  16. I’ve known a couple occasions where the Scout asked for and received copies of the recommendation from the people they asked. I’ve also known at least two occasions where a Scouts’ parent refused to write a letter.
  17. I went to the Colfax County Clerk’s website. There are filings between BSA and JP Morgan Chase in April of this year.
  18. First, thread title edited. second, my late Dad was a CPA. When he discovered businesses were borrowing for operating funds instead of capital growth, he’d get out of any positions he held in them forthwith. I pray the National Council does not need these funds for operating revenues. If they do, BSA is on some form of borrowed time.
  19. I have to wonder if in some cases, “survivalists” are availing themselves of equipment for the field...
  20. Actually, Keith Kaiser of the Heart of America’s Council runs that amateur Station.
  21. Since Mizzou went to the SEC, I don’t the follow Big 8 12 anymore. Does OU suck this year?
  22. Bingo. This should have moved down Council pathways at least a month ahead.
  23. Remember, 33088 is the policy book, not the requirements book.
