  1. I'll be in Milton Keynes,UK for two weeks. I have about 1000 patches to trade. What else do I need.(I'll have my colmans mustard in tubes) to cover any food questions.I'll be going ona campout with the district there,& possibly to Baden Powell house. I heard Gilwell is not really worth the time,but I'm open to any suggestions on places to see. Thanks
  2. My suggestion would be to talk to your District Commissioner, if your not happy with your Unit Commissioner. Some Unit Commissioners dont really have a clue of what to do,but are more than willing to be there for you. Give a little guidance, a little patience,dont treat them like they are the enemy if you dont know them. Tell em what you need,good & bad. You'll have a friend for life. A District Commissioner
  3. WD-40 & a butter knife gets off the residue. If it's a rush, I put it on with badge magic,then sew it on later. Great placementproduct. Get it set,where you want it,then sew it later,when you have time. (for me,it's about two months later). Good product for me!!
  4. You made a difference in this boys short life. My prayers are with you as well as his family.
  5. Drain fuel,or take off bottle. Open all valves, & blast with air. If you dont have a compressor handy,go to your local store& buy a can of air(used for blowing off computer keyboards). Check the end ports for clogs,fill it up,& fire it up.

  7. To remove,peel off patch, & then spray with WD40. Then just use a butter knife to scrape & peel off.
  8. I have too do a FOS presentation. What are some things that YOU think I should touch on. With the donations to the Hurricanes,Earthquakes,fuel prices,etc. It is getting to be a touchy subject for donations.
  9. Green sm, I put in 2-4 hours a day working on commissioner stuff. I log 100-200 miles per week. I have 49 packs,crews & troops. I live in a rural area> I do it because I enjoy it. To help "green SM"s & to help boys & adults all over my district. Some of you feel you dont need a U.C. or have never heard of one. CALL YOUR COUNCIL & request one. We're not here to show off, to fight,or to bicker about who is more important,but to help. Craig District Commissioner Assistant Scoutmaster
  10. hurricanehousing.org or moveon.org. I put my house on these sites to take in 4-5 people. Shelters are fine for now,but how long will they want to stay in an auditorium?
  11. Wsn't "scoutldrs" post 2 days before the hurricane. Get some sleep, knottyfox,then let us know where we can help. I put my house on a website to take in 4-5 family members 99.9% of us want to help,tell us when & where.
  12. In Nebraska it is 3.69. I drive a 2003 F-250. But I have a 2 block commute to my 2000 Peterbilt. In Missouri,2 truck stops were out of fuel,with lines at the third. Stock up on everything you can,because the smaller,independent truckers cant afford this,& those who will survive will have to pass the surcharge on to you. When I fill up,it's $500.00,& it's every two days. I'm also supposed to drive a troop bus from Lincoln to Abiline,Ks. When do we implement the cost to the kids?
  13. This guy is certainly not new to the program. He is currently our camping chair,S.M. U.C. etc. He has a Masters degree,but just doesnt seem like "Professional Scouter" material. What I mean is,He's not a kiss_ _ _. When he does something it is usually the right way,with a lot of heart. That's what worries me. I think he would make an excellent D.E. but can a council take someone with an I.Q, & not looking for another patch.
  14. I'll have an opportunity to interview a new District Executive. I am a new District Commissioner. What are some questions you think would be appropriate for a new hire?
  15. It is up to the charter representative,the your Scout Executive. I didnt put it on my application, was called by the executive,on it. I explained that it was 18 years ago, I was 17 at the time & a felony by 18 dollars. I explained this to the charter rep, & was approved.
  16. And your in scouting,why? Too just bash the uniforms, & insult the program? What are YOU doing to help recruit in your council. I've got the same kit as you, so I know what you're talking about, & what your trying to do. Quit complaining if your sitting on the bench, & quarterback for awhile.

  18. Ringbo, I sent you a private message. Yes, it can be done
  19. Seattlepioneer,first,you have offended me greatly! The only perfect person I heard of was Jesus Christ. He was a hippie.? Are you going to judge him next? I am 5'11" & 300 pounds of pure scout. I have 6 kids. All who I have raised not to judge a person on the outside,but what they give from the inside!! I am a Tiger cub leader, ASM & Unit Commissioner. No,I'm not in front of the buffet. I also work 12-16 hours a day. I am also an alcoholic(sober 4 years now) Are you going after that,next. When people judge me for my weight,& not of my character, I just feel sorry for them

  21. Semper Fi & God Speed. God Bless & Watch over our troops
  22. While I've never been accused of thinking on a Sunday,or Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday, My favorite hat is my campaign hat. It's not the feel,or the looks, that I get in the hat,but the remembrance to an old memory or two. Now my campaign hat doesnt really fit to well,(a size too big) And not that I have ever gotten any more respect when I wear this hat, And now that I think about the memories in that hat, Now I know why I try to not think on a Sunday,or a Monday, or a Tuesday,etc... Thanks Unc,for the memories
  23. Both are registered with the BSA. I think the seperate tent issue is an excellent idea,though.
  24. The lawyer side of me says: You have a possibility of ten felons. Make restitution FAST. If this camp has been burned in the past by other scouts,its your troop they might want to prosecute.(1-2 for the commission of the crime,the rest as accessories)While commendable that they don't want to snitch each other off,there might be a deeper rooted problem. (I.E. threats or bullies) It is not a small problem you have there,but maybe you can change a troubled boys future,by how you react. I've never heard of a troop going home early,someone usually gave up the culprit whern that threat was
  25. My end of the year blow out is(was) this. One of the parents is an FAA pilot. He has access to a Bi wing, an old Russian prop fighter plane,& he owns a Cessna. He and I have been working on him flying one of these to our local airport & taking the tiger cubs up in one of these planes. I already have his flight hours, & permits all in place. Then we were going to cook out at the airport.
