Our state requires filing a petition with 1,000 signatures for the BMV to develop a specialty license plate for a particular organization. To continue offering the plate each year, the state requires that at least 1,000 plates be sold annually. IMO, Ohio's Eagle Scout plates look pretty nice: https://www.oplates.com/NameLookup/PlateLookupWizard1.asp?ID=EWQQSBFSJBKTDCJHWZZKJCXNTDXOSTQRLNHGPZWAIIQRPABPOU

kahits, Sorry to hear about your nephew's Philmont dilemma. I agree with jblake47's advice. Find another troop ASAP. We had a similar situation occur last year where one of my son's buddies troop was failing, and we invited him to come check out our troop. Best think he ever did because we got him a spot on one of our 2 Philmont crews, and he'll be doing his Eagle project with our guys in 3 weeks. Another idea: advertise your dilemma on the unofficial Philmont webpage at www.philmont.com. There are a lot of great Philmont scouters there who may be able to help, too. Don't

This thread may not be about whether or not we know coffee, but it certainly isn't about cheese.

Our Troop tries to operate under the Patrol method. Our adults don't have a separate adult patrol. Most of them are Assistant Scoutmasters or Committee Members who help the scout patrols only if needed. Our adults are usually rigging climbing ropes and acting as belayers for rapellers. Or, they are hiking, camping, climbing, canoeing, white-water rafting, shooting, etc., with the rest of the Troop. Mostly, the adults insure that safety is being observed at all times. The patrols do all of the cooking. The SPL develops a duty roster for the patrols, but when it comes to clean-up, eve

Yeah, but do they know coffee, which is what this thread is all about? BTW, Tim Horton's was closing down on account of snow/blizzard conditions this morning, so I had to drink McDonald's coffee. Wasn't too hateful!

Hello, CarlaB, Welcome to the forums, and thank you and your Eagle husband for helping our Nevada scouts. It's a great organization because of folks like yourselves and the rest of the gang here on Scouter.com!

Allow me, Gunny... The Ten Essentials comprise the basic equipment that many consider essential in the backcountry. These items are recommended as the very minimum materials necessary to increase the likelihood of survival when in the field. The Ten Essentials are normally carried in a small, separate waterproof container or pack so that they can always be carried on person, and are thus less likely to be lost. In the event that a hiker loses the bulk of his equipment, these ten essentials ensure that the individual will have the fundamental materials needed to have or improvise the human

GW, I'll bet he was a Scout in an earlier life!

Our Pack distributes the written rules for qualification or disqualification long before race day. Then prior to the race, we get an impartial non-Scouter judge who inspects each car and decides whether the car qualifies or not.

Bill, I'm supposed to travel to Cleveland to visit relatives this weekend, but given that the weatherfolk are predicting about 10" - 12" of snow betweeen Dayton and Cleveland beginning tomorrow morning at 6:00 A.M., I may have to reconsider. My plan is to see what the weather forecast looks like on Friday and then decide. I suggest you guys do the same.

Let us know how it goes, John. I went to Philmont with my son last year, and it was the most memorable activity of our scouting careers. I'd hate to see a guy miss a trip to Philmont with his son for any reason.

Personally, I've switched to Tim Horton's. They tell me aboot fifteen million Canadians can't be wrong, eh?

Yeah, but in a pinch, those coffee bags aren't too bad. Have you tried them?

So, Kudu, how does trivializing Jesus show reverence?

Twin brothers, one named Emal and the other Juan, grew up and moved out of the country. A year later, their mother receives from Juan a letter and picture of himself. His mother sighs and mentions she wishes she had a picture from Emal as well. 'Why,' replies her husband, 'if you've seen Juan, you've seen Emal.'

Eastern Mysticism... A buddhist asks a hot dog vendor for his change, and the vendor replies 'change comes from within'.

Eastern Mysticism... What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor? Make me one with everything.

Yeah, I remember Maynard G. Krebs in the Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, 1959-1963. As I recall, the "G." stood for Walter, and "work" was the ultimate 4-letter word. Personally, I think Zelda Gilroy was the funniest.

Dear Chris, Andrea, Corinne, and Audrey, On behalf of our troop and all scouts in the great state of Ohio, please accept our heartfelt condolences, and thank you for sharing Dominic with us. If there is anything we can ever do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. Scout salute.

SSScout, I remember reciting that as part of the Cub Scout Oath or something like that. Can't say I really understood what it meant to be square? Squared away, perhaps?

So what do you think, if anything, can be done about this? ------------------- For Immediate Release: February 26, 2008 Contact(s): David Barna, 202-208-6843 Colleen Flanagan, 303-969-2011 Airborne Contaminants Study Released Measurable Levels Detected in Twenty Western U.S. and Alaska National Parks WASHINGTON, DC According to a study released by the Western Airborne Contaminants Assessment Project (WACAP), numerous airborne contaminants, including heavy metals and both current-use and North American historic-use pesticides, have been detected at measurab

Welcome, fastbow. A lot of odd questions have already been asked on this forum, and a lot of odd answers have also been given, so you should feel right at home !

Pixiewife, Sounds like your guys had a wonderful winter camping Klondike, and everyone has an even greater appreciation for Scouting, too . Another warmth layer for hubby and it might have been perfect! I hope the Scouts delivered a trip report at the COH. Amazing what a weekend outdoors can do for a group of boys--even up North in the dead of winter. I think you'll agree that it doesn't get much better than that.
