    Some followup, updated The 15 year old Boy Scout was alert and not injured. (Wind Cave is also locally called Cold Cave as it is nearly freezing temperatures all year round - RS) The teen was part of a group scouts and adults from Elizabethtown accompanied by a cave guide. The group of 16 was about 350 feet into the Wind cave south of Pequea when the youth slipped while crawling through a passage and became wedged by a large jutting rock around 3:30 p.m The cave one of the largest "tectonic (fault) caves in the eastern U.S. Tectonic caves are formed when masses of bedrock are p

    Over the years, the Maine Troop Greeters are most known for greeting returning troops when they land at their stopover airfield in Bangor, ME. My understanding is that there are always Troop Greeters there whenever , day or night, a troop plane lands. Girls and Boy Scout groups from around the state attended the first ever Annual Scout Day at the Maine Troop Greeters Museum in Bangor. They also enjoyed a guided tour of the museum, took part in a Flag Folding Ceremony, and got to meet Miss Maine USA 2018 and former Girl Scout, and Army National Guard Sergeant, Marina Gray. "We

    Scout has been trapped in cave since 5:30pm Saturday. The cave is off the 500 block of Bridge Valley Road in Martic Township. More details in link. http://6abc.com/boy-scout-trapped-in-cave-in-lancaster-county/3102346/

    I'm confused. Is this just a misunderstanding?

    Interesting to read about Temptations and how to use them towards our aims, BP mentions "motion pictures" and the "cinema place" as his examples.

    You might want to change your obligatory upvote then.

    My older son took a one day course which just focused on air travel. You can't run or hide in a plane.

    In school scenarios maybe, scouting scenarios can be different. Can't lock doors and cellphones may not work.
  11. RememberSchiff
    Agree. IMO, need professionals teaching in real life settings with interactive exercises. Some serious individual thought as to what it means to be Brave.

    Police now advise/teach teachers and students to run, hide, fight. Should BSA add this training to YP?

    See something (and again many did beforehand even over internet), say something,...and then say it again... Washington State Grandmother reports grandson http://abcnews.go.com/US/grandmother-reports-grandson-school-shooting-plot-washington/story?id=53136502

    Yes, opiods comes to mind.

    @Eagledad , around here CM's and ACM's are more likely to cross-over into SM and ASM positions than Webelos DL's particularly those on their second tour or more.
  17. RememberSchiff
    Ok then, let's keep it Courteous and Kind. Thanks.

    Good point. Webelos, back in the day (here he goes), was a shorter program perhaps for that reason, as was Cub Scouts. A 5th grader Cub started his last year working on Lion (Wolf-Bear-Lion), at the end of the year you worked on Webelos/AOL for a short time. The requirements were learn the BOY SCOUT OATH and LAW, salute, hand sign, motto... If Boy Scouts interested you, you joined a troop where you learned your Tenderfoot skills. When you think about what preparation does an 11yr old need to join Boy Scouts? None, no experience required. Same is true for his adult leaders.
  19. RememberSchiff
    I have wondered why OA was not purposed with teaching the old Wood Badge course. Sort of full circle, OA promotes Scout camping so why not Arrowmen teach new adult leaders?
  20. RememberSchiff
    I have answered all your questions as best as I can.

    How is this any better than a cell phone or sat phone? It provides more intel, giving rescuers more situational awareness to commit proper resources in a smarter way. I guess we agree to disagree.
  22. RememberSchiff
    Let's stay focused. We were given a working cellphone and cellphone network at the start of this discussion. Who initiates the distress call, is it the hiker? What if he is incapacitated? What if he is dead? Say the hiker has medical IoT sensors in his clothing to chain medical data via a working phone whether the user is conscious or not. So data is returned and shared, the hiker is at this location and has this pulse, temp, BP, respiration rate or he does not (He's dead Jim). The weather is getting worse, do you dispatch a SAR team ASAP or do you wait until the weather clears and
  23. RememberSchiff
    Depending on what IoT sensors in use, it can give you intel beyond just the location so your response is more appropriate (smarter).
  24. RememberSchiff
    See the links I provided above as a start. Look at this tech as adding more functionality to current phones, etc. For example, medical vitals data (from clothing sensors) is added to the chain so rescuers can respond accordingly. If real-time is not available, then last known chain data could be useful. My understanding is blockchain data can be shared more readily for alerts to those nearby and family. Would I buy LLbean clothing with their stated purposed IoT sensors? No.
  25. RememberSchiff
    I guess we agree to disagree again.
