  1. Our troop meets once a week on Thursday from 7PM to 8:30 PM. Have an event every month except Dec.(Christmas party)Attend summer camp and plan a high adventure trip every two years. Attend out of council spring or fall camporees every other year. We attend our council traveling camporee thats held every two years.
  2. The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. My Confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up,bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees. It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It show
  3. Our council is real generous the troops get 40%. If you do not take the prizes they get another 3%.
  4. NeilLup Want to thank you for the info.
  5. OGE I found the site that NeilLup refered to Wilderness Medicine Newsletter the back issue is available for $3.50 July/Aug 2001. Send request and payment to: WMN c/o TMB Books, Box 35B, Tasker Hill Rd., Conway,NH 03818. I was diagnosed about eight years ago with Type 2. It will be a big change in your life style eating, excerise etc. but once you accept it and listen to your Dr. you learn to work with it.Get to a Certified Diabetes Educator they are a real big help. What worked for me might not be good for you. I have been looking for menus or foods to take on hiking or camping
  6. When will they ever learn not to put food or snacks in their tents, bears can smell food a mile away. Hickory Run State Park has had three or four attacks this past summer and the area has been posted and the rangers have warned all camping groups about the bear problem. They have trapped seven or eight bears in the last few months and moved them.
  7. Our troop policy is that when a boy leaves the troop for what ever reason the money in his account reverts to the troop general fund unless he has a brother in the troop then it can be transfered to him.
  8. Moxieman I hate to tell you but the search is over new Scout Exec will arrive Sept. 1
  9. You have to have it spell out especially for the "PARENTS."
  10. Try Chief Neckerchief,our troop had good luck with them very easy to work with. Chief Neckerchief 11 Paterson Ave Midland Park,N.J. 07432 info@chiefneckerchief.com
  11. Don't let it wear you down. Take care of her and do what you have to do and spend quality time with your family. One day at a time. No matter what you think God is with your every step. Lost two very close Scouting friends in the last three years,one this past spring.
  12. Yes! Scout Sunday is Feb.4,2007 that date is on our council calendar.
  13. Conratulations to both of you. Job well done. I didn't think I would ever see my son make it but he did. This past year one grandson joined Tigers and one crossover into Boy Scouts and where is that Eagle Scout?? Right there as an ASM with his son. Enjoy the moment.
  14. The best advice I can give you is get a good pair of boots, the trails are tough on your feet and ankles. NRS outfitting has a good selection. The last time I was to Northern Tier I bought a pair of river workboot, it was the best investment I made. Might be a bit expensive for some people at $69.95 but well worth it. They have a web site www.nrsweb.com
  15. I use the same the same recipe for our ordeal weekend. If you can not find 7 grains cereal I use raisin bran cereal and it works real well. I think it came from a OA book managing elangomat ordeals.
  16. Our Troop is going to Goose Pond Scout Reservation. The boys always have a good time. They have a great program. They have an older boy program with whitewater, climbing and a high and low COPE course. The cost of camp is very affortable and camp is close to home where adults can come go as necessary. Boys feel very comfortable with camp.
  17. Like Beaver said "You can't please everyone." Political correct or not!! Our troop is having a CHRISTMAS PARTY this Thursday. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
  18. You might want to look at Goose Pond in Northeastern PA Council.
  19. We have our troop number and logo on our trailer. Haven't had any concerns with theft or vandalism, it is parked in my yard. As for putting the names of Eagle scouts on the trailer. We asked them if they wanted their names and year they made Eagle and they all said YES! We went to the committe and asked if it was ok and the committe had no problem with it, if thats what the boys wanted it was their trailer. Actually the younger scouts are looking forward to see their names on the trailer
  20. Hey LeRoy, I know you are busy thinking up empty answers to all the questions,but you didn't answer Its Me question "What religion does the BSA discriminate against?" The next thing the ACLU will try is to ban chaplains from the military. I just cannot wait to read your posts,the only person who can talk in circles and never give a direct answer to any questions or an answer that makes any sense. Get a life. "GOD" I Love Scouting
  21. Leatherman. Have had one since they came out and has served me well over the years.
  22. Try Pack Shack Adventures at Delaware Water Gap,PA They run a 52 miler from Port Jervis,NY to Delaware Water Gap,PA Real good outfitter. Our troop has done 4 trips with them. They supply everthing you will need for the five day trip,all you do is show up with your personal gear.

  23. I would like to share the following with everyone: Recently we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud sponsor of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall during our spring recognition event. We received the following reply from the local TARGET management: Veterans do not meet our area of giving. We only donate to the arts,social action groups,gay&lesbian causes,and education. If the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and veterans in general do not meet their donation criteria, then something is really wrong at this TARGET store. We were not asking for thousands of dollars, not even h
  24. I would like to know what troops are doing to recuit new boys.Looking for new ideas.
