PJ Bottoms...I can only assume that is for scouts with a Fat lazy Heritage?

If and When I get My Kilt I will wear it

I would love to have a system like this to run my CPAP machine...Maybe a few Camp Lights..Charge a few Cell phones..Camera and Video Camera also... But That price and System is Kinda Over Kill..just for Camping.. I am trying to Get our Local Council to install a System to go Solar at our Scout Camp...We Got Plenty of Land and Sun..There is a Company that does Non Profit Installs if you don't want to buy a System..You Agree to buy Electricity from them at about 1 cent per kilowatt used...They Sell the rest to power Company.. I really believe we should buy and Sell our own overage

or have the standards been lowered to much.. Has scouting adopted a "No Scout Left Behind Program"? Does everyone really believe that so many get it at an earlier age simply because they work harder and are more dedicated now a days than when I grew up and we worked real hard to get just barely just before our 18th Birthday?

They are probably on back order because of recent natural disasters..Units like these are not designed for average everyday casual users. I am interested in a small unit because I require a CPAP Machine to be able to sleep. I need a quite machine to sit outside my tent and run my CPAP..I could get a noisy loud gas one and ruin camping for every within a mile They can be run indoors because they are electric..yea the solar panels are outside and must have Enough light.. Where would most people use these would be like Summer Camps. Where they have lots of Food that could spoil and need

I hate switch backs.. First pair I had broke so now they are just shorts...

Can ya post a link to the solar generator?

Amazing how things have Changed.. Back in my days as a Scout we Used "Canvas" Baker or Wall Tents... I was at a Very popular sporting goods Store recently and I was amazed that they had a Nice big Tent which is light Weight which had a Stove vent..Under 1000.. I still prefer the Canvas Tents.. I know all you "Gotta hike 50 Milers in a Day" types are jump on and complain about Weight but oh well.. Once 'outing' was taken out of Scouting and before Leave No Trace made things worse..We would Pitch the tent and build a fire inside a 'fire pit in the Tent' would get nice and toa

I doubt I will be in OA by then My Lodge is a disaster I highly doubt that I will renew my Membership even for Next year. If I continue in OA I will have to register in Another Council either in Oklahoma or in a DFW AREA Council

They did after a while.. They knew the General Area I went off in.. Amazing How you can head off in one Direction and end up in another one...and how Far you really walk when not paying attention..and then to tack on the running like a Mad man..pig did not get me until I got tired of Running and started to climb the Tree..That is when It got in it's licks along with the bites.. Was kinda embarrassing to be found up a tree by several rescuers..but at least I had an excuse...I did appreciate the searchers all 40 of them. I admit I did sleep some and although I did get hurt nothi

Sex Appeal Sells The Days of John Jacob Jingle Himmer Schmidt type songs are gone.. Maybe Maybe she might just do a version of I got that scouting Fever down in My Heart

Okay.. Step outside of your perfect little worlds and Look at it from a different point of View.. Scout Camps/ Wilderness Camps are Usually a Fair Distance from Cities so several factors come into play Like our Scout Camp Location many Camping Areas may have limit Wireless Service or not even have wireless service reception. Many have no Monitoring or so much as an old fashion pay phone.. Distance will prohibit rapid armed response. Psychos look for Defenseless People to attack...When as the last time a Nut Case attacked a shooting Contest or a Cop Convention?

Pig Incident was during a Troop Camp out at a Local State Park.. I went out to gather firewood. Pig started chasing me. I ran like crazy and Pig Followed. I did not holler for help because I did not want anyone to come and get hurt by pig. Thought it would go away sooner or later. Well It Did much later than I had hoped. At one point I thought the pig was gonna be a beaver and chew down the tree to eat me. Skunk kills were because that year there was a Major outbreak of Rabies. Gun was locked inside a Metal Container inside a Lock Box and a trigger lock also. So to have access you ha

#s of self/friend-inflicted gunshot wounds vs. # of beast inflicted wounds Facts anyone? Personally # of Self/friend-inflicted gunshot wounds : 0 # of beast inflicted wounds (Attacks 7 (worst 23 itches by feral pig while trying to scramble up a tree without a gun)treed 11 hours before pig decided I was not worth waiting for me to come down out of the tree to attack again..Total number of Tusk punctures/bites 42 # of Rabid Skunks killed 13 (8 in one year at Scout Camp)

Can tell yall don't have feral hogs in yalls direction much... A Feral Sow is worse than a Momma Bear In Small Groups I would carry a Weapon more than Likely.. Hidden of Course When Sleeping it would be locked away under two locks When at Camp with 1000 People very very very unlikely Feral hoogs will get near the Camp...Heck even the Coyotes Howl Miles away when we all Camp together. like Most Organizations the Rules are to try and prevent any law suits not about protecting the Kids... God Forbid someone ever Attack a Scout Camp and One of Yall are there and get kille

Where do other spouses Sleep during a Camp out... With Spouse or Separate tent?

http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2012/12/17/two-connecticut-shooting-victims-were-tiger-cubs-heres-how-to-help/ Article cut and pasted from above link It breaks my heart to report that the horrendous school shooting in Connecticut has hit the Scouting family. The Boy Scouts of America learned that two of the victims, 7-year-old Chase Kowalski and 6-year-old Benjamin Wheeler, were new Tiger Cub Scouts with Pack 170 in the Connecticut Yankee Council. Three other families in Pack 170 lost children at the school, and Tiger Cub Den Leader Peter Baressi was a first responder h

Do you guys just make up stuff to support your side of the story? Experiences based on Family for Me is quite the opposite than most of yours " Wow, your mom set up her camp faster than our leaders" "John why is your Mom chopping all the fire wood for the Leaders?" "Man, your mom lashed together a bigger and better lean to than anyone else" " Crap your mom out shot everyone on the range" "Bummer your mom can not be our scoutmaster, she has better skills than all the dads combined" "Hey ask your mom is we can use some of her fire? No body else can get theirs started yet and

I agree about the Heritage thing Wichita Lodge 35 Northwest Texas Council 587 Losing the Lodge Number is losing part of the Lodge History

Anyone have family/friends who went to the 1965 NOAC with the lodge contingent? Need candid photographs as the only member of Wichita to receive the Distinguished Service Award, Ed Oglesby, received his at the OA's 50th anniversary meeting. The National OA Archives is hurting, badly, for candid photos from every NOAC from 1940 through 1998. So even others would be nice.

Myself I have not gotten any yet so no first hand experience. Your best bet will be one of the Low Light systems because I highly doubt you will have optimum light conditions.. Ever Becoming More popular I believe more systems are becoming more available..some even offer rechargeable battery packs so you can have an immediate power supply handy in case of emergencies or poor planning.

Scouting to me was never a second tier activity for me Scouting is what it is on a personal level by choice. Only School Activity which came close to Scouting was JROTC because we went Camping, Canoeing, Rock Climbing,Repelling, Rifle Team and had Orienteering meets
