    @ScoutMaster1068 welcome to scouter.com. Which requirement is this?
  2. RememberSchiff
    Those deadlines could easily change. I predict a huge PR push ahead of Jambo. Again just my guess as to what is coming.
  3. RememberSchiff
    Yes agree. IMO they wanted girl "Boy Scouts" at Jambo 2019 and to be there, those girls needed time to meet the same attendance prerequisites as boys.
  4. RememberSchiff
    IMO the rush was/is the World Jamboree at Summit 2019.

    A lecture?

    "ScoutFest (Scotland)– our festival for adults will take place at Scout Adventures Fordell Firs on 15-16 September 2018. ScoutFest is going to be something very special for our adult members. We’re planning a whole weekend of skills development opportunities, training, programme ideas, social events, camping, and loads more! Scouts Scotland AGM (Annual General Meeting - similar to BSA May meeting - Annual Report, Board elections, major issues) We will also be hosting our AGM at ScoutFest – our first AGM where all adult members in Scotland will have the opportunity to vote on an

    Back in the day (here he goes), adults would keep watch on tents, as older scouts were known for raiding rival troop camps, leaving camp for the nearest town/ice cream stand, Girl Scout camp,... the usual young masculine pranks of that day.

    Is that the Royal we or singular we?

    @denibug72 , welcome to scouter.com ...finally.

    Disappointing that some have taken this discussion off the rails with exaggerated, explicit examples that have no place in a topic about Girl Scouts, let alone a scouter forum. Too bad, as this OP story is still developing. If you don't want to follow the Scout Oath and Law in writing a post, your post will be removed. It is that simple. Topic is locked .

    I am referring to the lack of an apparent National policy and this comment. “This is kind of a community issue,” said Mike Lopes, a spokesman for the Girl Scouts of the USA. “For the most part, it’s not any different than selling in front of any other kind of shop. It just happens to be a marijuana dispensary.” and that some California Councils have allowed it , Colorado went back and forth.

    Local option?

    I am still waiting for the "official" Girl Scout position. Here's what I have found so far A spokeswoman for Girl Scouts San Diego told The San Diego Union-Tribune on Tuesday that the regional council of the national organization is not investigating the matter, but would discuss it with the girl and her family if they ever find out who she is because there are very particular rules about when and where Girl Scouts can sell their popular cookies each year — and “consequences” for repeated infractions. “It’s not a cut and dried situation when we don’t know who the girl is and we don’

    Ok then, let's be respectful. @NJCubScouter , @Sentinel947, @LeCastor

    Yes make it engaging and hands-on. For example, my den built a full-size historical reproduction (ductwork) of a Congreve rocket (British). It was 10ft long. https://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/rockets-inspired-francis-scott-key-180952399/ Bear Adventure: Paws for Action (Duty to Country) Complete Requirement 1 and two others from Requirements 2-4. Learn about our nation’s flag. Display it at home for one month. Say the Pledge of Allegiance and learn its meaning. Do at least one of the following. A. Find out about two famous Americans.

    @Pselb , take it easy. No one and definitely not me stated or implied that you and your wife were using the BSA for babysitting, only that some parents have and long before Family Scouting arrived. @NJCubScouter, @Sentinel947, @LeCastor
  19. RememberSchiff
    The BabySitters of America phenomenon existed long before Family Scouting.

    As we know, today Feb 8, is the BSA birthday, mostly just a calendar reminder item these days. But I read this article and memories of Scouting long past surfaced. Thank you Bourbonnais,IL Here is the excerpt, Kids take over Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts will run the village on Feb. 10 for "Scout Week." For about the past 40 years, the village has matched the scouts with department heads and allowed them to learn their duties. "It's an opportunity for some of the scouts to show their leadership skills and learn a bit about their town," Schore said. "It's a h

    IMO, if the Girl Scouts disapprove of the sales location, then the profits of having sold 312 cookie boxes there should be donated to a drug treatment program, etc. My $0.02

    Okay, it is the scout's project and he , not his coach or dad, should be leading his volunteers (you). The scout should do the project drawings, parts and cut lists. Hand drawings are still okay. He, or better other scouts he is leading, can select boards and mark the cut lines, clamp joints square, drive screws.

    Who is Eagle Project Coach? Have you seen his Eagle Project workbook? In his workbook should be contact information for his Eagle Project Coach, Scoutmaster, and his school principal, the benefactor. Also there will be approval signatures, if his project proposal has been approved. The scout should be communicating with you and not his parents with you. Thanks for helping. What a lost learning opportunity (Kreg jig nice, I could use one) for the scout due to shortsighted BSA safety rules.
