Greetings, Last Month my Venturing Crew (well not mine, Im just the Advisor) was hiking South Fork Stanislaus River from Pinecrest Lake, California, and they came across an old abandon Boy Scout Camp. I found out later that it was Camp McBride. The camp was stripped from the use of the Boy Scouts by the Forest Service, because of the impact it was having on the environment there. Surprisingly, the Forest Service turned right around and leased it to a group of Girl Scouts. Now only pieces of broken foundation remain. It was apparently an important area to the foundation of some of the OA

Well said, Bob W. and for Leaders to be alert enough we get to witness these moments often means shutting-up and stepping back. You may be fortunate enough to influence the becoming. Bless you all. and Merry Christmas.

To Emonn or whomever has an ear to hear As I ready myself for another round of NYLT staff development, I meditate on such things. Stumbling onto this thread was a great excuse for a little mental exercise. The aims of scouting are clear and there are definite methods (tested and tested again). However the semantics of your question is in the way of actually getting to the heart of the matter. I hate to burst folks bubbles... There IS no such thing as an "ideal Troop". A Troop never "IS" it is always becoming. Thanks. A little reminder 4.2.2 BSA -- Boy Scouti

To "baschram645" Super idea, I will definitely omit 1 pound of hamburger in favor of a pound of sweet Italian sausage. And freshly chopped parsley to the mix of spices. (Our Cobra Patrol is good with chopping, which means the Lightning Patrol gets clean-up) To "highcountry" Indeed, Cheeeeezzzzz! Thanks guys, I'll test it on my family first.

Greetings, My son and I are trying to put together a shipment of uniforms and supplies for the Liberian Scout Association. This project is dear to our hearts since my son (Eagle Scout) was born in Liberia. Our family over there made it through the long civil war and things are improving day by day. We now want to turn our attention to Scouting programs in Liberia. The cheerful service thing runs in the family, I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa.
