  1. Wow A lot of Information without answering anything for sure. Gotta Love this from the Scouting magazine file provided
  2. Your Image Violates YP... No One on One Contact Not to mention Scout is out of proper Uniform But the Message is True even Today, Focus on the Youth Happy New Year
  3. Shelter Building....If Possible with Natural Gathered Materials. However if not allowed you could instead use Tarps or Sheets of Plastic Fire Building Starting..If Possible..No Idea if there is a Burn Ban where your Going Food Gathering...If Possible..Kinda hard to call it Survival if you have raided the Grocery Store..but you have to obey Laws on Trapping and Hunting and Fishing Map Reading Old Fashioned Compass Orienteering First Aid Cooking (without Mobile Kitchen and Pots and Pans) How Many Days are you doing? Where You Going?
  4. Well If that Happens I quess More than just the Camp will have to worry right. I guess they will have to be prepared to handle a Massive flood. Mean while the Camp moves into it's second season.. While not hosting 1000's of annual campers it is unique.
  5. Well I guess that all depends on what actually Happens if the water does start going down the Atchfalaya River. Depending on High the water rises I guess..How much more surface water there would be. perhaps create Islands. Would the Failure immediately cause the Mississippi River to immediately run Dry and All Water Traffic to run down the Atchafalay?
  6. Intersting....just how would you envision Youth Standing around in uniform selling the Products since there is no physical product to sell? How many Laptops Would you suggests or Would you recommend Tablets instead? Obviously I would recommend holding the set up at a business with free WiFi...No since in spending money on Data Plans as that would deduct from the profits..I doubt parents want to foot the Bill for data plans. Why Can't You put Troop XXX? Do you think "Troop XXX" is a Trademark?
  7. Wondering Why there is Not Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster Specific Training? If there is No National what Standards do councils use? Is it Once in a Lifetime Train or does it Expire? If It expires is it free?
  8. The Online BSA Youth Protection is still exactly the Same it was Last year, nothing has changed. I Find it interesting that the State of Texas requires Youth Protection for all Camp Staff or Adult Attendees( Working or Attending more than 72) in the State for Camps ..Boy Scout, Girl Scout, Football, Soccer, Band..They use the BSA Youth Protection Video..They just require it to be taken Face to Face. Once your Trained you can Administer the test..They Stop the Video at Certain Points and Class Discusses the Situation...and Test is a Written Test and your Required 70% to pass...( answers are the
  9. Where is it required that all Fundraisers have to be done through a BSA Liscensing group? I understand if your gonna use Trademarked Graphics or Words... but Lets just say you want to have a Shirt Say " I am Helping Save Camp Lake Willy Wally Shim Sham Boo for the Future Ask me how" to raise Money. This seems like a Better Deal on generic Fundraisers which are not done at a Point of Sale type event. Because Your Not Require to Pick out and buy up front. Apparently People pick out shirts they want and then it is shipped
  10. Leadership Required for a BSA Tour Permit Leadership and Youth Protection Training: Boy Scouts of America policy requires at least two adult leaders on all BSA activities. Coed Venturing crews must have both male and female leaders older than 21 for overnight activities. All registered adults must have completed BSA Youth Protection training. At least one registered adult who has completed BSA Youth Protection training must be present at all events and activities. Youth Protection training is valid for two years from the date completed. Where does it say Trained SM or Trained ASM? W
  11. I played with it a Bit just to get an Idea on Profits..I designed a T Shirt and Played with Price. Design Editor was easy to use. I like that you don't have to buy up front
  12. Well The Idea sound great..Has anyone else looked at the Site? Anyone Use it? According to their Website Running a campaign is free, and the fundraising potential... unlimited. Booster empowers anyone to rally support for a cause, loved one, group or project by selling custom t-shirts online. Set up your campaign page in a few simple steps, set your price and then share it with everyone you know. Once your Booster closes, we'll fill the orders and send along the funds.
  13. IOLS is not required for any Position unless You want to be Considered "Trained" and Wear the Patch Only Required Training is Youth Protection.. It is just Highly recommended
  14. Exactly!!! When I was a very young ASM, I did YPT at summer camp, and the next day I saw a middle-aged guy grab a kid by the collar and shake him. I was really upset but I was also pretty scared of the prospect of walking into the office to report it. A few minutes later I saw a middle-aged guy that was in the YPT session with me and I told him what I saw and what did he think, and he says "that's all for sex stuff, anyway he didn't hurt the kid and it's probably his son." I was an idiot and I let it lay at that, and I'll kick myself forever. The YPT is great for prevention, but it ov
  15. Lets Not Forget That Youth Protection is Not just about Sexual Abuse..It Also cover Physical and Mental Abuse. and Again Observation is You Alley...Observe the Scouts, Observe their Behavior...Notice any Changes in their Behavior, A Scout who Suddenly Accident Prone, A Scout who becomes withdrawn. We Don't need Extensive training to Notice these Conditions.
  16. Again I still say the YP hits the Key Factors...By Eliminating One on One you Eliminate the Opportunity to Groom and Take away the Chance of Secrecy. You Can Not Spot a Pedophile by Sight Alone..They come in every race, every sex, every physical shape.... By Observing everyone actions you take away their secrecy. Looking Back I will say that in the Old Days things were simpler but we afforded Pedophiles plenty of Chances...I am Proud to Say None of My Scoutmaster never Molested me or anyone I was in Scouts with to the best of My Knowledge and No One has ever made allegations against
  17. Rock Hudson was Married Maybe More of Those Married Gays will come out of the Closet as Society Excepts Gays More. Many Gays still Hide their Lifestyle because they are still hidden.
  18. I don't know about any of My Former Scout Masters Sexual Preferences because we Never discussed it, Nor Did any on them Every Discuss sex with me...Sex is not part of the Scouting Curriculum and it should never be. I refuse to discuss sex with any youth Scouter and I refuse to have Sexually Oriented Discussions on Scout Outings with Adults. Sex has no place in Scouting. Youth Protection is Fine as it is. The Basic Principal is Sound... Two Deep Leadership...NO ONE ON ONE CONTACT...Beware of Possible Situations and Report As for Role Models>..They Wore Scout Uniforms Clean and P
  19. Bit of an Irony ain't it...we complain when Parents hoover and participate and then we complain when they don't. Sadly it is not required for parents to be involved. It is the parents responsibility to get the Scout to the Drop off point. It is the Troops responsibility to get the Scouts to the events. I know many people complain about a Trailer but they do help move gear easily. I would not start "ransoming" events...your gonna run away those that do help and attend because they fear events will be canceled and will move to a Unit where events are not canceled. Your Best off
  20. Crime Prevention-Rifle Shooting/Shotgun Shooting/Archery
  21. Cooking-Pets Cooking-Reptile and Amphibian Study Cooking-Bird Study Cooking-fishing/Fly Fishing Cooking-Insect Study Cooking-Mammal Study Cooking-Fish and Wildlife Management
  22. Take a Look at Wichita County....You will find that out of 203 Registered Sex Offenders Maybe 2 are Male Offender/Male Victims 2 are Female Offender/Male Victims
  23. Look up your states Sex Offender List...You will find they List the Age and Sex of the Victims...Count How many are Male Offender/ Male Victims, Male Offender/Female Victims, Female Offender/Female Victim and Female Offender/Male Victims....You will be Surprised the Vast Majority will be Heterosexuals who are Pedophile
