  1. Indeed, I agree that operating a shooting sports event for Scouts without regard to the explicit rules and regulations is negligence. I hope the same disregard isn't being used for aquatic events. These two areas are just ripe for catastrophic consequences.

This qualification allows the leader to set up the range, open the range, supervise the range, teach the sport to Cub Scouts, and sign off for a Cub Scout's belt loop and pin. On the contrary, I've been told that these certifications allow all of the
  5. I attended National Camping School for Cub Scout Day Camp administration/director/program director back at the very end of February this year. I absolutely do not like being put in the spot light, and tend to be quite reticent when I feel the least bit uncomfortable. I havent appreciated the songs, skits, and being silly that goes with the Cub Scout program. After watching a rather serious individual on the program staff lead a song, and really make it come to life, I shed nearly every bit of my anxiety. That weekend was a major transformation for me. I whole-heartedly concur with one of
