Welcome.... Is this it? Wonderful old song. See link below. _____________________________________________ 5 THE PADDLE SONG This song depicts French-Canadian Fur trappers going out to check on their traps by canoe. A suggestion for singing this song would be to sing it through several times, starting softly, getting louder as the "canoe" approaches, and then getting softer again as the canoe grows more distant.

Hello highcountry, Welcome to the forums. You describe a situation that many of us have faced to one degree or another. You describe a really bad leader in a very important troop position. The key to getting a grip on your situation may be in your very first sentence. You describe a person who you believe to be a mean and borderline psychotic person. You may, indeed, be dealing with a mentally ill person. And this person is a primary leader in your troop. This can be both difficult and dangerous. You have a lot of time and energy invested in this troop, and you sure dont want to see it all

Eagle Scout earns all 122 merit badges Determined teen aims high, earns all 122 merit badges 08:23 AM CDT on Thursday, June 7, 2007 By BRIDGET BARRY THIAS / Special Contributor to The Dallas Morning News When 18-year-old Cameron Barber sets his mind on a goal, he achieves it. He earned Eagle Scout status at age 12. This January, he finished his goal of earning all 122 merit badges. The average age for earning Eagle Scout is 17. LAWRENCE JENKINS/Special Contributor Cameron Barber, 18, showed great desire to succeed from the time he joined his Boy Scout troop, his

Thanks for posting this article. The first thing that came to mind is that the Catholic church, through the Pope, is opposed to the war in Iraq. If the pastor is going to be consistent about shunning politicians and about proclaiming Catholic teaching on current issues, including the war, then no public official who supports the war should be allowed to talk at Eagle Courts of Honor. This would include President Bush (who is also Honorary President of the BSA) and Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense, who is an Eagle Scout and former President to the National Eagle Scout Association, to

No dodge. I drive a Toyota. Patrol Method with the exceptions described in your earlier post. Interesting points. Looking for ideas to keep the ever-encroaching "Parent Method" at bay.

OK. A great song, worth a visit. Album: Rubber Soul (1965) Michelle lyrics by Beatles. Michelle, ma belle. These are words that go together well, My Michelle. Michelle, ma belle. Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, Tres bien ensemble. I love you, I love you, I love you. That's all I want to say. Until I find a way I will say the only words I know that You'll understand. I need you, I need you, I need you. I need to make you see, Oh, what you mean to me. Until I do I'm hoping you will Know what I mean. I love you. I want y

Things have changed a little since my days as a scout in the 60s. Going to camp. There we were in the back seats of a large station wagon, speeding down the two-lane highway at 75 miles per hour, no air conditioning, no seat belts, windows wide open, playing rock-paper-scissors, and maybe card games, hoping the cards wouldnt blow out the window, hearing Beatles on the radio, breathing in the second-hand smoke from the Scoutmasters cigarettes, reading the occasional set of Burma Shave signs, counting cows in the field. Ah, the good-old days, or not! Thanks for your comments. Are there

This has been discussed before but I need an update with new ideas. Our troop is again taking a look at trying to form a coherent policy about electronic equipment at camp, and to-and-from camp, especially our week-long camp coming up in a few weeks. The way things stand now: scouts can bring music-listening and game devices for use in the vehicles when traveling to and from camps. Then the equipment is left locked in the vehicles for the duration of the camp. Many adult leaders bring their cell phones and keep them discretely for the duration of the camp, most often using them only whe

Bad parent? Or maybe just not a team player. Or maybe a bully. She might be so used to doing things BY herself and FOR herself and son that she just doesnt understand some basics of the program called Scouting. As you are discovering, this can be really difficult to deal with. Surround yourself with helpful people. Make sure these folks all have jobs so they are contributing to the wellbeing of the troop. At your committee/leader meetings design the agenda so these helpful folks have a chance to do all the talking. Keep the subjects focused and on track. If you are the CC you c

In our troop the Scoutmaster invites eligible scouts to attend NYLT. Scout and parents pay the fee up front, about $200. When scout successfully completes the course the scout and parents are reimbursed for half of the fee from the troop's general fund. This has worked well the last few years. Last year five scouts from our troop completed the course and this year five more are going. The troop budgets for this every year. If finances are a challenge for a scout, the Scoutmaster can recommend a campership for the other half of the fee. This has not happened yet for NYLT, but has bee

1968, a very good year! Currently Troop Committee Chair

OK. I'll start. Who is DAD? Is he a registered leader with any training in the Scouting program? A little understanding of the Patrol method would help. So who decided to "allow" the older boy to become the replacement SPL? Carry on.

Sounds like the ACLU is taking the side of the RELIGIOUS GROUP HMMMMMM opps, caps lock got stuck

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. (Jesus) said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit." John 20: 19-22 awe and reverence for the numinous.

He went to his tent

On my honor I will do my best To have a sense of awe and reverence for the numinous, Do my duty to my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally upright.

Skills in good communication are taught and learned over time. Email etiquette can vary greatly among groups. A few years ago our troop had the situation where the former Scoutmaster (registered then as an ASM) started sending scolding emails to the whole troop email list (including some youth) telling the new group of leaders how they (we) were not doing things the right way. It got really annoying, and the messages got increasing heated and even insulting, to the point that I (as the new CC) had to basically tell the guy to get lost. He did and we have been doing just fine, thank

Theres a Scouter on here named Trevorum Who contributes a lot to the forum. He makes things so luminous, Like reverence for the numinous, Its almost impossible to ignore-um.

From fgs original postThe boy making the comment doesn't have an influential Eagle dad in the troop.. Find an adult in the troop who can work with this scout as an Eagle Coach. Every scout needs someone they feel they can go to for help, guidance and mentoring. It isnt always the SM. Silence is sometimes best because it tells everyone that at that moment you dont have an answer and you arent going to fake it by making stuff up. In this way, Silence really can be golden. Focus on the Scouts who are making these comments. Offer them encouragement and help. No need to talk abou

The newer version of the Youth Protection video A Time to Tell has a really good segment on bullying. If you havent seen it yet, show it to your whole troop, with parents present. It may help your situation. It is never OK to be a bully, testosterone or no testosterone. Recognize, Resist, Report. There is This boy and that boy. Never Boys will be boys. They are all unique. We are all unique.
