  1. None.. We only run 1 week of Summer camp and that was over about 1.5 weeks before Jambo. I think we had 34 scouts go to Jambo
  2. Yes you can have a Meeting Because You have Two Deep Leadership one of Whom is Registered and has YP..
  3. Well 100+ days are not Uncommon around here in the Summer. We have had an Unusually Cold July here this year. Wichita Falls has set several National High Temperature Days in Recent Years. Around this time of Year we typically have 100 degree Nights also. I work at the Prison and the Housing Areas can reach 100+ easily.
  4. ScoutNut keep telling yourself that...Registered Leadership is Required at Den Meetings.. Two Deep Leadership..Minimum 1 Registered and YP Current. The activity badge counselor may be an adult family member of a Webelos Scout, a pack leader, a teacher, a coach, or another adult qualified to teach one or more activity badges to Webelos Scouts. This is usually a temporary position and is not a registered BSA position. My Answer is About Webelos Den Leaders and What Is Required with them. Christineka asked about Requirements.. A Webelos Leader has to be present at Meetings and they Have to regist
  5. At Philmont when I was there in the 1980's had Hot showers at some Camps...You simply had to start a Fire under a Boiler ..Watch it and keep it stoked..and cut and replace the stacked firewood for the Next Trek Crew.. Really who needs a Shower every single day anyways...Sissies
  6. Mission Statements do not tell the Story of Scouting..You should be recruiting based on Experience not some piece of paper
  7. Outside of Archery and BB Guns. Listed Below are two Activities Webelos can Participate in..According to the Rules they Can only Fire Bows, BB Guns, and Air Rifles if the following Guidelines are followed..They Can Learn about Muzzle Loaders but not handle or Fire All shooting sports activities held during a council resident camp will follow the standards in National Camp Standards, No. 430-056.

  9. Is there NO HOT WATER at All..Or could the facilities just not handle the Demand of 40000+ visitors at one time? I am sure that they can install Solar Hot Water Heaters or Boiler Type Hot Water Heaters before the Next National Jambo. I don't see lack of hot water Crippling the Expansion of SBR. Honestly do you think 40000+ people took showers ever Single Day? And What Kind of Expansions are Needed at SBR other than What is Already there?
  10. So it seems Jambos and NOACs are for Rich Scouts or Rich Councils..It would cost me less to go to KISC in Switzerland than to a Jambo.
  11. We were not a Back Packing Troop.. Except for two trips to Philmont I never Backpacked in Equipment. My Last Philmont we never even pitched Tents. We slept in Hammocks or on Ground without Ground Cloths. I know Can't Now We used Bakers at Summer Camp..Cots no Ground Clothes.. Even On Summer Camp Staff we Had Wall Tents on Raised Metal Platforms with Wooden Floors and Slept on Cots... NO A/C..Now Days staff sleeps in building with A/C..and the Raised Platforms have been neglected and are being torn out. I want to save as many as we can and Build Small Cabins on them.
  12. I wonder why? As for the Way it is written Maybe they assumed to much...Like Assumed Nobody would try and Sneak in the Family Holiday at the Beach at the Hilton as Camping. Like trying to Sneak in The Family Pool without Following safety Rules..Maybe They assumed that since the Initial Segments were earned under the Auspice of the Boy Scouts of America people would understand without having to write that the Gold and Silver would also be earned under the Auspice of the Boy Scouts of America. Why Did they Have to Write in each section.. Earn First Class? Ever Stop and think this award was
  13. We used Baker Tents... No Floors or Zippers
  14. I wonder if it has more to do with the way certain units act than the number of people camping? Is it More Overwhelming for a Group of 50 than Ten Groups of 5?
  15. We didn't.. It ain't but we do it anyways.. Many Units doing Local Camping have gone to Paper and disposable to avoid dish detail
  16. Everything does not have to be strictly a Scout Sponsored Event. However You Must apply BSA Rules They Obtain a Tour Permit prior to Coming They Observe BSA Guidelines
  17. Each Unit has Tour Permits. They Have two-deep leadership..They Follow BSA Rules..They also wear Shirts Clearly marked Indicating they are Representing BSA. we usually arrange for them To Stay free at our Camp if possible or at a Charter Organization
  18. charmoc commented #24.4 Today, 03:02 PM Wow, when scouters fail to “get it†have to result in demeaning language and name calling is a pretty sad day for scouting. I feel sorry for those of you (and your scouts) who had to result to such tactics to make your point instead of citing the written documentation from BSA to substitute your arguments. Unfortunately I have met many of you through the years and have seen the damage you have done to many young men left in your care. But I see I got under your skin pretty well, which proves my point that if yo
  19. You asked me why it appeared It would seem you really wanted to the Award instead of your son...YOUR INITIAL POST..the Use of the Word "I" Over and Over. It has been clarified in subsequent posts. Do we need to keep Harping over it?
  20. If anyone Needs Miles For Cycling Wichita Falls Texas has Hotter-n-Hell 100 Bike Ride In August every year. We have several Scout Units participate each Year. Still time to register. Wichita Lodge 35 will be working Event again this year. I am sure if yall look around you can find a Bike Ride to participate in as a Scout Unit
