A belated welcome to the virtual camp fire!

Welcome to the virtual camp fire!

Welcome to the virtual camp fire!

My local lodge posted about this on Facebook yesterday. The comments (about a dozen or so at the time) were all negative about the change.

Agreed. I looked through the posted ceremonies briefly. I don't think they come close to having an arrowman show up in regalia. If I was a cubmaster, I would probably not do the ceremony. Just have some guys from our sister troop attend. Would probably be about as effective. I like the idea of dropping sashes and going rogue!!!!!

E94, Thanks for posting the reference. I agree with you and Oldscout. OA is losing a part of its identity. Moreover, its losing a very important way to promote itself to future members. I am truly saddened by this. Prof

Remember that advancement is only one of the methods of scouting. It has a tendency to overshadow the other methods in people's minds. but as long as he is enjoying it and you believe that he is getting something out of the program, I'd say not to worry at this point.

This is the approach that came to my mind as well!

I am saddened by this.

We do this in my troop as well!

HURRAY!!!!!😀😀😀 Great decision!!!!! I'm glad people involved stuck with it for 5 years!!!!!

Mich, I like Thunderbirds advice! Contact -Scoutmaster If that doesn't resolve the matter then contact-Troop Committee Chair If that doesn't resolve it, contact-Chartered Organization Representative I have a feeling that the matter will be resolved, or at least you will know what the situation is. Please post and let us know how it turns out!!!!!

Sad news indeed. I like the recommendations. They look well thought out and useful at other units.
