  1. eagle90 I am our organization's representative (CR). I do all those things (I do not micromanage, however). I attend every unit meeting, committee meeting, campout, fundraiser, recruiting function, school night, camporee, long-term camp, and OA event because I love this Scouting stuff. I also attend every District Committee meeting. Strangely, I am the only CR who attends the meetings. It makes the District Committee fairly uncomfortable. I go to every Roundtable and every training session I can make. I have attended SM/ASM Leader Specific & Outdoor Skills three times
  2. Your hypothetical Scouter has the BSA position code "CR." Scan a copy of BSA publication #33118D, "The Chartered Organization Representative." Refer to the pages listed. - Actively work to recruit new Scouts, families and leaders (page 5) - Actively set up fund raising opportunities (page 7) - Over see the Troop Committee and The overall Unit Program (page 1,2,4,6) - Arrange to obtain the necessarily awards and turn in assorted paperwork to Council (page 5,6,7) - Work with volunteers to ensure they are trained in their positions and help them as much as possible to make thei
  3. (originally posted by WAKWIB) An interesting tradition in MOS at Bartle is for family members to use variations of the same name... The Mic-O-Say "family name" tradition can be very interesting. Before one of my sons became a tribesman, he said, "there are all of these really cool names, and we are a herd of clumsy horses..." Was pretty funny, heh. He chose to follow the tradition tho. Horse That Stumbles (my father) Shadow Horse That Stumbles (me) Silent Watcher of Little Horse That Stumbles (my brother) Keeper of the Sacred Bundle Little Horse That Stumbles (my nephe
  4. H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, Heart of America Council, Central Zone (St. Clair County, Missouri). There is no other. The H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, home of the great Tribe of Mic-O-Say, is 4900 acres of cool green forest and withering heat on Truman Lake in west-central Missouri. The dedicated, enthusiastic staffs of Camps Lone Star, Sawmill, and Piercing Arrow, provide a memorable experience to thousands of scouts and scouters each year. Why? Maybe because I still trip over the same rocks I tripped over 40 years ago. Definitely because of Mic-O-Say. And this I kno
  5. Memorable experiences- Every moment I spend and have spent at H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation as a scout and scouter. Becoming a tribesman in the great Tribe of Mic-O-say. Watching my sons become tribesman in the great Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Attending the NESA Jamboree at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, wasn't bad. ...and, if I may be just a dad for a moment, every moment I spend and have spent with my three sons in the BSA. This summer will be our (my wife and I) first extended "empty nest" experience; my middle son will be serving his third year on
  6. Hello! I am a long time lurker and recently a first time poster. My family are all scouts and scouters. My sons are scouts or former scouts. My wife is a scouter. I was, until recently, a simple assistant scoutmaster in a small, tightly knit troop. I have never missed a meeting or campout (a sin of pride, I know). I am now a newly appointed COR (and MC). As a newly appointed COR, I am a bit taken back by the job. I gave up my comfortable job as SA to be COR. SA was so easy- all of the responsibility and none of the authority, slogging thru the trenches with the guys and l
  7. Thank you all for your input. "There is only one agenda, which is the BSA program." Until recently, I thought the same thing. Thanks!
  8. It has taken me almost 3 years from registration on this forum to submit my first post. Here goes: There are 22 unit position codes on a BSA Adult application. Do all adult volunteers assume one of these positions? You must be SM, SA, MC, etc. I am interested in the MC position code, specifically. The Chartering Organization "select(s) a unit committee of parents and members of the organization who will screen and select unit leaders..." If a unit's leadership positions are occupied (SM, SA, etc.) and a unit's committee positions are occupied (CC, secretary, treasurer, advan
