Who shares Whistles? I never did, so I only worried about my own spit not swapping spit with another Lifeguard.

What Ever Get over yourselves and off your high Horses

But it appears that you condone such type of posts as long as it is done obscurely it would appear. Seems two faced to me. As someone has already posted..in the 1980's there was no such written rule.. I stated once I had a written handbook I would follow the rules..and several posters implied I would not. and to Quote Directly from the rule book. Copyright 2008 page 57 The Order of the Arrow sash is worn with the official Scout field uniform or Scouting's official adult dress wear (a blue blazer and grey slacks). The Sash may be worn by Elangomats who are not in Unifor

I wear the Starter Brand everyday at Work. I work as a Correctional Officer here in Texas..Our Housing Areas regularly get over 100* in the Summer. We work a 12 hour shift. In the summer months the most common stolen kitchen item is corn starch

Just About any Custom Banner Shop, try to find one that is BSA Licensed.. A Non BSA licensed one would have to donate the Banner which would be better than Buying anyways

Attitudes and posts like these, It is no wonder why Scouting and OA is dying off and so is the Posting of New Members. A few Egotistical Members have to act like two year olds and run off people. I know where yall store your heads

who said i was using it to bolster?

My Old Lodge is My Current Lodge.. None of the Lodge Council or even Lodge Advisers have said anything about me having the sash on my Belt...when attending OA Functions.. Since I am an Adult I won't have to worry about wearing it Much anyways. Even if wearing Regalia The Book only says Youth in Ceremonial If it really mattered I guess I could inquire this coming Friday at Tap out..but hey I am just a Dues Paying Card Carrying member which it seems that the Only Functions most OA Adults serve anymore. I guess no one looked at the Photo of the politician looking to be elec

OKAY I bought the 2008 Edition and No where does It say that the Sash can not be "Carried" or "Stored" on the Belt So Apparently this is just an interpretation of the Rules.. And as a strict interpretation that the Sash can only be worn and Never Carried or Stored while in Uniform again I will restate that in the 1980's I was instructed by my Lodge Only to wear the sash at OA Functions or representing OA at a Scouting Function otherwise we could carry the sash when in Uniform on our Belts with it folded with the Arrow pointed up. And The reason why we have different sashes is

The Plans in the Book are difficult to read..and When you google plans all you get is advice to google or use the Same book..I searched and Searched and I gave up.. I made a simple A Frame system and We just strung Lines and did a distance Event

Just cut your lose and move on.. Obviously the Boy has decided scouts is not for him. Your attempting to force him into scouting. Scouting is not for every Boy..If he does not want to participate then he won't. NO SCOUT SHOULD EVER GET ANY FREE TRIP. They should have to earn it. One of my Scout Masters paid my way to Scout Camp because I mowed several lawns..did chores around their home. We discussed all the terms prior to starting work. Everyday we sat down and went over hours and earnings. Once I paid for Camp I was given the Opportunity to continue working to earn money and have m

Makes it seem that Boy scouts of America has joined the "No left Behind" syndrome by making an Earned Award an "at a boy" for everyone. I earned mine along with other Camp Staffers by working with Several British Youth during Summer Camp..we raised their expenses for their Trip. Now it is just another expenditure for Uniform Costs. As for other things such as Centennial Rings, Jamboree Patches and Conclave Patches..I will wear only what I earn by being a member of scouting or as an attending member. My Local Council is out of Rings so no more to be bought and sewn on new Uniforms

And then Factor in Canceled Outings because of Bad Weather Factor in School Activities..Sports..Band..Math Competitions etc.. Factor in Illness realistically..come on, now days it can be hard to make 20 days a year even with summer camps.. And think about it..why limit the length to 6 nights at summer camp..does only 6 nights out of a trek at Philmont or would you even count those nights because the Boy already camped at summer camp? Yea Back in my days we camped below freezing and we still camped when it was 100*F even at night.. Northwest Texas Council has some ext

Get the Tiger Book and Read it.. If you really look at the Program Tiger Cub Program runs from Start of School year to End of School so Say September to June, so that is really just 10 Months... Sadly most of what the Boys will want to do is not allowed at that stage..such as Carry a Pocket Knife..or Very Limited...such as Archery and BB Guns..and Full contact football is a No no for Belt loops although they can earn the Basketball and Baseball belt loops...or they can play Flag Football instead of contact football. You will have boys that are slow and Boys that Excel Our C

Trends come and go Our Troop Never had an official Head Gear..so I wore my Cowboy Hat..I wore Beret in JROTC so I kept the programs apart by in my view separate by mixing uniform wear as for the Military...I served when only special Units wore Berets. You had to qualify to were a Beret and each special training group had their Berets..If Not assigned to a special Unit you did not wear the Beret...meaning if an Airborne qualified Member was not assigned to an Airborne Unit you wore Garrison Caps with the Rest of unit

Last year I was a Den Leader for Tiger Scouts and just Moved to Wolf Den Leader.I wear my Scout Uniform to all meetings I attend to set an Example for others.. Over the Years I have practiced the following (even as a Scout) New Uniforms...Newest Being reserved for Banquettes and Ceremonies or Public Demonstration/Fund Raisers Older Ones for Camp outs.. For Tigers we gave them time to Acquire the Uniform.. Den Meetings I asked them to wear a Scout T-shirt Pack Meeting I asked the To Wear Blue Uniforms For Camping Activities/Field Trips Always Bring a full Uniform I

thanks for posting the link to the video I enjoy seeing how other camps are set up.. working to improve our camp and see plenty of inspirations

If they are still alive why not ask them how it is pronounced myself i would sat "bo-dee"

yea we have a tendency to get hot.. high today was 101* sitting at 99* right now

I will follow the Rules no you posted what some one said.. I still have not read an official OA Handbook and I do not have money to go order one as one was not provided when I returned to scout and OA

Check out the Picture here.. http://www.stephengraves.us/pictures_of_stephen.htm clearly he never read the book

To DBPT100 I want an official publication...Why because it is Official what what someone says is written somewhere. Why because I believe my eyes.. Rules are open for interpretations and simply saying it is so does not make it so..people tend to make mistakes. Case in point our Lodge held elections in January a New OA member was nominated for a Office. They were disqualified because someone said National said you had to be a member 1 Year. I just found this in the Official publication Lodge officers. The elected officers of the lodge are the lodge chief, lodge vice ch

Order of the Arrow Handbook #34996, Revised 2009 This is the main handbook for OA members. It includes basic information all members should know, and reflects current policies. Available from the BSA National Supply Division, must be ordered through your local council. I wonder if I can find a Version anywhere from the 1980's I find it interesting that the books that deal with Traditions and Ceremonies are not available for free. And the Guidelines of OA are not available

I wonder if they ever were a member of OA.. All scouts should have cheerful service..OA are distinguished among our peers, elected by our peers. Where can I get a Copy of the Rules and Regulations for Dress?
