  1. Which CPR switch skit? I dont know that one.
  2. Scoutpatch, I may have some of the lodge flaps you want. What do you want to trade for them? BTW what is your son looking for? YIS,
  3. Hello, Hope this goes thru, it has been some time since i've been on the forum. Send me a pm with details if you are interested in Pine Tree Council and Madocawanda Lodge 271 from Maine, and we will make a trade.
  4. Anita, Just got home from jamboree about an hour ago. Fortunately i got an e-mail from somebody regarding a scouter forum, and i noticed your response. although the sale got us some money, it was not as successful as i had hoped. However, i am not discouraged, and plan to do another one for NOAC this fall. Send me a pm and i will let you know about it. Thanks for your message, YIS, paul e. conley
  5. Hello, Only seven hours before: I am trying to raise monies for Pine Tree Council's Jamboree contingent. I have two items on ebay, and the proceeds go directly to the jamboree contingent. This is the at least the third time these items have been up for auction, with little response. That may have been because of the high minimum bid, i don't know, but now the minimum bid is $10.00 on each item. so somebody is going to get them cheap! One item is a lovely twin blanket with 15 patches from the 2001 National Jamboree ironed onto the blanket. The other item is a staff neckerch

  7. write, call, or e-mail your staff leader (either professional or volunteer). Somewhere in your acceptance letters you should have had some contact with whomever you would be working with.
  8. Hello, My son is going for his eagle. Today he asked the advancement chairman for the proper forms. The response was that they are on line. I know that he should have received a packet a year ago, in fact i got one for him when he didn't get it automatically through the troop. However, in his case, going on line may be better, as the applications and project worksheet will be neater if he can just download them and fill them in. Unfortunately, when he downloads the form through the following link, he is unable to fill in the blanks. Can anybody help http://www.pinetreebsa.
  9. My DE tells me that he has the CSP he was looking for, so thanks to any and all who tried to help. yours in WWW, Keschmahalen
  10. hello, The last two units I was active with pushed complete uniforming. Eagle 54 and a few others had some good ideas for a uniform bank and or the scouts earning their way. What the units purchased for the scouts was usually covered in the form of a yearly charge at recharter time, and that could be offset by what the scout earned thru our fundraisers. We also had a successful uniform bank. It started small, but grew. Most of the growth came from collecting uniforms donated to the local Goodwill, Salvation Army, DAV, and other such thrift stores. In fact it got so big
  11. hello, I am an active trader/collector, and frequently buy fundraising patches to help various lodge or council contingents attending the NOAC or Jamboree. As a staff member to both events, I have tried different methods of displaying the patches I've collected, especially those associated with the staff I on which I work. This year (NOAC) I plan to place the patches on a blanket. But the reason for this post is that I plan to create three or four other blankets as a fundraiser for the Madockawanda Lodge (271)2006 NOAC contingent. If this works, I will do the same thing
  12. Hello, The Legend of the Golden Eyed Kattywampus, a story of the spirits of the forest, and the importance of keeping it for future generations to enjoy.
  13. Hello, I usually call adults Mr., Mrs., ect. Unless they tell me otherwise. At work I call them by their first names if I know them, and respond with sir or mam. I consider this a form or respect, and insist that my children do the same. Please do not go over my head and give my children permission to do what I have told them not to do. I can still remember the first time that I called my former cross country coach by his first name. It was about twenty yrs. ago, we were by no means equals, but we were assisting his son as coaches. It took me a few moments to process
  14. Hello, I didn't get anything, unless you include a lightweight, travel alarm clock. My son, on the other hand, got a pair of goretex gloves, a compression sack, two Nalgene bottles, and a therm-a-rest ground pad. Say, FloridaScout, how does the arrowpass work? Sounds like a neat idea. YIS Keschmahalen
  15. Captionron14, seemed to understand the intent of the original post in the same way that I did, without worrying about who was right or wrong. I too stop reading when the bickering starts. I enjoy this forum, and would hope that we could all try to just get along. Have a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and best wishes for the coming year. YIS, Keschmahalen
