Doe this group have any official affiliation with BSA? The patch appears to have no BSA trademarks.

Did you mean three to 6 committee members?

Sen. Collins says she used a 'secret weapon' in shutdown negotiations WASHINGTON) -- Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said she used a "secret weapon" to help end the government shutdown. “I quickly realized that I needed a way to control the debate because senators can be quite loquacious and they always want to be the first to speak. There's a lot of crosstalk and I wanted to make sure that everybody's voice was heard. So Sen. Heidi Heitkamp a few years ago gave me an African Talking Stick that is used by a tribe that is in Kenya and in the Sudan region. And it is used by the tribe to co

We have not heard from the OP today. I would like to know more about his Council which may not be Orange County Council.

But was there any legal consequences to that demand back then?

@NJCubScouter sounds like the Pit of Misery.

Rejection happens. Good preparation for the larger rejections to come - dating, applying to college, job interviewing...

IMO cultural trademark and other legal protections will be a growing concern. Hawaiians and Polynesians are upset with recent Disney movies. The Amish have received cultural protection from Pennsylvania. Imagine if Lenape lawyers sent a letter to National regarding licensing fees for the OA? http://digitalcommons.wcl.american.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1038&context=ipbrief

A long time ago before Yoda, there was Yogi Berra.

I'm waiting for confirmation of the OP.

I dunno. What is his Iowa work experience? Agriculture? Manufacturing? Has he lost a job(s), medical insurance, a home? Iowa will decide of course, but I would like to see more new faces enter government.

If true, can express checkout be far behind?

Ask your son. Ask your son who has signed his blue card so far. (His Scoutmaster) Ask your son who he should contact.

Years ago, I did t-shirt transfers for my den. I bought the color t-shirts at A.C.Moore. I used the Hanes t-shirt design software and printed out the iron-on transfer shirts. For the Pack and Troop, i.e. large volume, I just used a local sport clothes supply shop. I did not have any BSA trademarks in the design, just Pack 25 or Troop 54, town name or CO name, outdoor artwork.

@daimyo welcome to scouter.com

Comedy Central, The Onion, Mad Magazine, and Scouter.com

Agree, consider the source and that it reads like fake news, but I was surprised the article gave a specific date for the email - Jan 9. An email snipe hunt is on over the internet.

or maybe the BSA will license these biodegradable paper turtle urns. http://www.passagesinternational.com/biodegradable-urns/water-urns/biodegradable-turtles

I am always skeptical of news sources, some more than others. A recent Buzzfeed article details an Surbaugh Jan 9, email to scout executives which Buzzfeed claims to have seen and spills the contents. How truthful that article is, I do not know, but keep a look-out for this alleged Jan 9 email. @Eagle94-A1 The article does mention Scouter.com. , maybe someday we will be mentioned by the BBC or NYT. Surbaugh said the proposed survey question was a "mistake" and apologized for causing "distress" to members by the mere suggestion of coed scouting — words he said were "toxic" to m

So your ASM lead by example and opened the gate.

I just think this rescue in Australia is cool. Lifeguards launched the drone, steered it towards the swimmers and dropped a “rescue pod” into the water, where it expanded so the swimmers could grab it and swim to shore. The rescue took just 70 seconds. The two swimmers were exhausted but unharmed. Drone cost $343,000. More info here. Does Philmont use drones? Other than for STEM, I wonder if any BSA camps are using drones.

The tail is wagging the dog here. The SM is responsible for the Scouting Program in his/her troop. If the SM decides NO family outings, then there are none. If SM decides one a year, then one a year. My $0.02

How many of your scouts/families have quit over your Pack's decision to admit girls? Did they quit scouting or transfer?

Be aware some old posts were about old forum sofware.
