  1. I am leaving the Lodge and the Local Council and registering with another Council and Lodge...I am through with Scouting Locally.
  2. Funny how there is so Much... Difference from Councils...Some are Friendly and Inviting and Open to Supporting the Boys..and then there are those that Councils are ruled with an Iron Fist and is open to just a few volunteers who kiss the ground a certain few Walk upon.
  3. Woodbadge in My Council...Pompous Elitist..Course way Over priced...And Mandatory in order to Volunteer for anything
  4. I know why...Because The Letter Writer runs the Lodge...They decide what the Lodge does and what gets presented to Youth for their Vote. The Lodge is Basically at their Whim. Lodge is basically dead and Council is barely hanging on. I had already started to move on to Another Council and Lodge...Several are 150 Miles away and I have also considered moving to several Councils on paper even further away.. But I won't stand for Lies being told about me.
  5. If I could share pictures on here I would post the Letter and Screenshots showing I did tell them about the Scottish Scouts and asking for Help and No Replies from them.
  6. This goes back to September 2011... So Yea if you ain't been around and following my posts you are gonna be lost. Lodge Consisted of approximately 168 Members on Paper at January Winter Ordeal...No Idea how many on Paper as Of Summer Ordeal and No Idea how many were elected at Summer Call Out... Lodge has 3 Events each year..Winter Ordeal, Summer Ordeal, Summer Call out.. Since 2011 we have had only 2 so Called Fellowships There was No OA "Official Lodge" contingency at Jambo and No public sharing of any Photos.. Last NOAC ..Group was "full" when I came Back so was not allowed
  7. Will I be able to Transfer my Membership to Another Council and Lodge? I was Black balled by Former Lodge Adviser and Current Northwest Council 587 Vice President of Governance Timothy W. Hunter because of a personal vendetta. Among the Things he seems to be made at me for is not Paying to attend Woodbadge. The Youth of the Lodge were never informed of the event through the LEC..As You Can see I did Provide Mr Hunter and the Current Adult Adviser Donnie Smith and the Dance Adviser about the Scouts from Scotland. The Facebook group for Wichita Lodge 35 was set to secret and
  8. What you can do... BE Cordial.......Invite other Packs to your Events. BE Seen .........The troop can make sure it is Seen by Helping at all Council/District Events. Never seen never heard never Works. BE Known........Have a Strong Social Media. Communication is a Strong point. Share the Scouting Experience. There is no Better way to influence a Young Scouter and his Family than Showing them you do things than with pictures. Talk is Cheap however a Pictures say More. Be Proud....Share through communications Advancements, Awards, Event Participation and anything the troop does
  9. Sounds like my Council already....We did not run A Summer Camp for 15 years anyways...No Need for Camperships...We prefer our Troops except first years scouts to go out of Council.
  10. Typical...Politicking spoils another possible Scouting Activity..
  11. Do away with All Council Offices...They can Work From Home..Registration can be done online... Do Away with Scout Shops...We Can Shop Online. Stop Frivolous Banquettes and Extravagant Council Dinners
  12. Since the Lodge here does nothing except 3 things..dues are collected...Lodge here has Winter Ordeal, Summer Ordeal and Call Out....No Fellowships, No Trips, No Monthly get togethers
  13. I never had a Baker Tent Collapse and never got Wet or Snowed during a Storm....and they stayed warm also.. And Stayed cool in the Summer with the Sides rolled up...well as cool as you could be outside in 100+ heat during the Summer months.
  14. here is the Texas option From the $30 specialty plate fee, $22 goes to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for making grants that benefit educational projects sponsored by Boy Scout Councils of Texas.
  15. As a general rule...If you attend an Event you can wear the patch released for that Event.. It is generally encouraged that you wear the Most Current Issue of Your Lodge Flap Otherwise. You are only Suppose to wear a OA Lodge Flap if you are a Registered Member of that Lodge.. Wearing the Patches, for many depends on What type of Patch it is....Many Lodges release several varieties of the Same Patches and Their Values different based on Number produced. Keep in Mind the Rarity and Value makes them for Targets to be Stolen...Many sets are stolen every year...Growing Up Wichita Lodge
  16. Nope...In Texas youth tend to still enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, hunting, fishing and spend a lot of time outdoors......until they are taught by some some structured scouting organization that those activities are "not age appropriate" for them until they get older.
  17. Amazing how different Scouting can be from area to area. I know of packs which would camp a month or two straight if they had a chance
  18. Nice too see the spirit of Scouting still alive in some Scouts a Scout is Kind.. http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2014/08/02/packs-extraordinary-kindness-strangers-essence-scouting/
  19. Where is it worn and how depends on the Situation....If your undercover you wouldn't want people to see it until it is time to show it off...Then you pull it out and Start belittling people for their in Fractions..Once your a Uniform police you will be required to carry the Badge on you at all times, even in Civilian wear since you never know when and where you will encounter a Scouter. The position is adult position, so Unless they are a Un-pronounced Atheist or a Closet Gay they can not hold the position, since a Uniformed Police Officer has to be a registered adult leader...
