  1. Back to @scoutldr point, is parent authorization obtained during this my.scouting transfer? (I'm old)
  2. Cinnaminson, NJ: Another example - scouts portraying victims in a mass casualty drill During the (mass casualty) drill, which was designed to simulate a high-intensity emergency situation on NJ TRANSIT’s River LINE, the Boy Scouts pretended to be the victims of the staged transportation accident. The exercise aimed to test the response capabilities of local emergency services, including first responders, transit police, and medical personnel. The drill scenario involved a mock collision between a car and a train, requiring a coordinated response from multiple agencies. Troop 13'
  3. CHICAGO, March 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This March, in celebration of International Women's Day and Girl Scouts' 112th birthday, United is encouraging MileagePlus® members to donate miles to Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) to help fund life-changing experiences for Girl Scouts through travel.

  4. 03.12.2024 U.S. Army Garrison Benelux Story by Sandra Wilson Participation in girl troops has increased on Benelux installations. Girls attend the weekly meetings and campouts, just as the boy troops, where they find camaraderie and build upon skills and leadership. Additionally, the standards and merit badges that the girls achieve mirror those of the boy troops. “Before we didn’t have the numbers to have our own girl troop so the youth that were involved had to meet with an online troop,” said Chris Stewart, scoutmaster of Troop 100 G in Brunssum. “I came in a year and a ha
  5. Prattville, AL: The participants from BSA Troop 25 participated in a practice drill with the Prattville Fire Department (PFD) and Autauga County Emergency 911 Communication Center. ... Members of the PFD Sergeant Zach Gibbons and Captain Kyle Brock began by discussing the Incident command structure for handling an emergency situation. Additional members of PFD assisted with individual instructions for the Scouts on how to shut off service to home water and electrical, as well as how to safely mark them in a disaster situation and inform responders upon arrival. “This even
  6. Maybe it is old-school me. Apparently it doesn't matter to that Council and it works for them. If Council asked me to volunteer for an adult-only Easter Egg Hunt, Costume contest fundraiser at OUR Camp, I would assume it was an April Fool Joke and hang up. If Council asked me to volunteer for Family Easter Egg Hunt, I would be hiding milk chocolate bunny ears (eggs? real scouts eat ears! Arrrg!) on an orienteering course. Different strokes for different folks ...YMMV,
  7. It is not a family event, it is not a youth event.
  8. I was not expecting UP arrows. This event is contrary to my thinking of a council fundraising event, but it must be working, if this is their 6th year.
  9. "Sagamore Council is hosting Indiana's largest adult only Easter egg hunt next week. Registration is $25 and is open to the public but participates must be 18 years and older.

"Let’s have fun like the kids do!! The 6th Annual Scouting 4 Eggs Adult Easter Egg Hunt presented by Caterpillar is a GO! ...Over 1,000 prizes to be given out including a chance to win sports tickets/memorabilia, artwork,
  10. 03/09/2024: Interview with Scouts Canada CEO CEO Liam Burns You’ve been on the job for almost a year now, what do you see as Scouts Canada’s most pressing challenges? "The biggest thing that keeps me up at night is that scouting was in decline right up to COVID. Since then we’ve recovered strongly — last year we had 22 per cent growth, this year we’ll have about nine per cent growth — but nothing is fundamentally different. So logically we presume that growth curb will plateau and start to come down, and there’s no evidence the status quo is going to work, so the question is,
  11. "The conference registration fee for the 2024 National Annual Meeting is $825 and includes a box lunch in the exhibit hall on Tuesday and Wednesday this year. Registration on site will be very limited due to cutoff dates with the hotel. Onsite registration fee will be $900 and will be limited." *The cutoff date to register for the National Annual Meeting is Friday, March 29th. https://nam.scouting.org/ No word if any meetings or sessions will be streamed via youtube.
  12. Former scout, Abigail Sanford is a fish and wildlife biologist at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "I am a fish and wildlife biologist with the Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office Central Coast Division, and I largely help analyze impacts to threatened and endangered species. I am the species lead for the San Joaquin kit fox and the blunt-nosed leopard lizard. In high school, I knew I wanted to go to college, but had no idea what I wanted to study. When it came time to select a major, it was like staring at a blank wall hoping an answer would appear. So I spoke to one of my men

When completed in 2005 the facility will include: a library, a tribute room, a visitor's center, a training room, a scout shop, an audio visual center, resources areas for each of the 10 districts of the Pine Tree Council as well as a lookout so that scouts can watch planes take off and land.
