In that article "That hybrid has now become the official approach. The latest BALOO syllabus, released last fall (which would be 2017 - RS), covers what Cub and Webelos Scout leaders need to know. And it does so in a single 30-hour weekend — all day Saturday and Sunday morning, for example."

Yes. It is linked from scouting.org Training for Adults page. https://www.scouting.org/training/adult/

Can't speak for instructors, but BALOO is clear page 45 "Make sure all hikers are equipped with plenty of water for the hike." https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/training/pdf/510-033(17)BALOO.pdf

Me too as BALOO states page 45 "Make sure all hikers are equipped with plenty of water for the hike." https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/training/pdf/510-033(17)BALOO.pdf

In 1972, Harry may have been a scout in Wenatchee Troop 7 . The history of Troop 7 goes back to at least 1931 according to the troop's facebook page.

Thanks. I sent an email with your lead to the Wenatchee World reporter who is attempting to find our scout Harry.

Forget the wallet. Can we be a little more Helpful here. After all that Boy Scouts card could be a blue card, the one our Harry needed to earn his Eagle in '72! We need to find our lost scout Harry Larue. First let's check ScoutNet...er, nevermind that will take too long. Let's search behind every tree instead.

Wenatchee, WA workers were renovating the city's public pool facility when they stumbled upon a leather wallet lost 46 years ago. According to The Wenatchee World, the wallet was tucked behind the boys' lockers in the changing room. It contained a few family photographs and a Boy Scouts card that said Harry LaRue lived in Eastern Wenatchee. A reporter with the Wenatchee World is trying to find Harry, with little success so far. In the meantime, the city of Wenatchee has the wallet for safekeeping. http://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/weird/wallet-lost-in-1972-found-in-pool

You sir are correct. Here is a link to the marketing group photos. http://tidewaterbsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ Scout with glasses original photo. Another Scout in above photo shoot.

Speaking of Penn State football and liability, Penn State has a home game (Beaver Stadium) with Kent State on Sept 15, with the theme All-University Day, Community Heroes Recognition, and Boy Scout Jamboree. "All Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts are invited to attend our annual Scout Celebration. Prior to the game, all Scouts are invited to attend the Nittany Jamboree at Medlar Field -- a pre-game fair with Scout-related activities. Interested Troops and Packs can purchase special ticket packages at a reduced rate by calling 1-800-NITTANY. " http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-

I preach, give each child what she or he most needs by the method most appropriate for that child.

Perhaps more relevant in adult training. The mind will only absorb what the butt can endure. "The longer you have to sit, the less concentration you are going to have to learn. Also, we were always given the idea that you don’t tell people what to do, you ask them if they would like to do it. I think you have to be able to read people and know if it is going to work or it isn’t. " http://www.squamishchief.com/community/about-a-couple-of-squamish-volunteers-1.23270681

A lot of hysteria over the OP hearsay. This is a safety issue. We occasionally tear corners of a Totin Chip card but more frequently we immediately take away the object that is not being used safely and that intervention is not deterred by the presence of others. No songs, rather retraining. This is made clear to parents so we are all on the same page. My $0.02

Perhaps you are thinking of Scouting University? Nano Studies is a serious course of study at real colleges.

@Kdl welcome to scouter.com

I usually apply the Show me where that is written rule.

Along that thought, maybe units should first check adult leader availability before sending out permission slips to scouts.

Agree with rotation. Having different adult reviewers as a scout advances through the ranks goes hand in hand with adult association method. Mix it up, keep everyone sharp. If you decide to downsize your Troop Committee, you might start with CC. My $0.02

@lewalskeet welcome to scouter.com. Be aware you are responding to an old topic in a scouting forum where the Scout Oath and Law apply...Friendly, Courteous, Kind,... RS @NJCubScouter

Could be. John has a long mustache from Longest Day

Here is an example of a scout diagnosed with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome which to this layman appears similar to Down's syndrome and how smarter scouters delivered on the promise of Scouting. http://www.9news.com/article/news/health/persistence-pays-off-how-boy-scouts-helped-this-little-boy-overcome/73-537236536
