Maybe it would be smarter PR to have a group of first female Eagles than one first female Eagle.

Back in 1962, a third world dictator had missiles with nuclear warheads capable of reaching 48 of our 50 states. We hurried home from school to watch live the President's afternoon press conferences. President Kennedy explained the threat with the latest reconnaissance photos of Cuban missile sites and Russian freighters and target maps. Target maps! Our parents would hear the news second-hand later on the Evening news. The target maps were scary. Norfolk-Washington-Philadephia-NewYork City were thought prime targets of Castro's intermediate range ballistic missiles. But were they C

Accessorize skort with a beret?

There's always neckerchief colors...

Very considerate, btw thanks to @ZScout5 for the advanced notice. Have at it, happy face or sad face, I won't take it personal only business. http://www.scoutstuff.org/bsa/items/skort-cs-6-12.html#.Wk-Hd3VMHqA

Well that didn't take long.

The Star Wars franchise is nearly two generations old. My sons are having a different Stars War experience than I did, same with scouts. Too bad mine was better for both.

problems ahead ...

Update Jan 4, 2018 The report on an electrocution that killed three East Texas boy scouts will NOT be released. According to the Texas Attorney General's Office, they have ruled not to release the report on the boating accident at Lake O’ the Pines, which killed scouts Heath Faucheux, 17, Thomas Larry, 11, and Will Brannon, 17. The scouts were fatally injured last August when their sailboat came into contact with power lines on the lake. http://www.kltv.com/story/37195916/texas-attorney-general-office-report-on-fatal-boy-scouts-boating-accident-will-not-be-released

We, including the Pack and Council, are all free to write a letter to the editor for clarification. We, including the Pack and parents, are free to write that Dallas? Council for an explanation.

Well maybe the Truth is in Here.

I dunno. An editor, perhaps desperate for some happy news, is contacted by a freelance reporter who is selling a human interest story with a supporting photo? The truth is out there.

I have heard National and Councils call this January enrollment - "soft launch", "pilot program" (not to be confused with the Lions program), and "Early Adopter". Whatever the name, the confusion is the same. Patriots' Path (NJ), Baltimore Are Council - Early Adopter program http://ppbsa.doubleknot.com/document/familyscoutingletterfinal/178323 http://www.baltimorebsa.org/document/early-adopter-family-letter/178545 Early Adopter Program Q & A ( wide timelines?) http://tac-bsa.org/family-scouting/early-adopter-faqs/ National Capital Area Council appeared to hav

Sounds like my house. Eager to see the upcoming Black Panther movie. My sons have learned not to mention a certain name around me, the destroyer of worlds - Star Trek and Star Wars.

@Frostbyte welcome to scouter.com

She may be an excellent leader. I believe there is historical precedent to wait until age 19 before burning a nonconformist at the stake.

The Wisconsin Historical Society has announced the listing of the Tomah (WI) Boy Scout Cabin on the National Register of Historic Places. National Register designation provides access to certain benefits, including qualification for grants and for rehabilitation income tax credits, while it does not restrict private property owners in the use of their property. The Tomah Boy Scout Cabin, built in 1934, was constructed as a community project and upon completion, provided a clubhouse and meeting space for the Tomah boy scouts. These cabins reflect the social history of the larger Boy Scou

Yes but popped, ready to eat. I know youth groups that sell it for more $ unpopped!

This drama sounds ready-made for NetFlix. Short version, Council and some parents were unhappy with Pack which lead to the charter not being renewed. Council was upset that Pack sold a different brand of popcorn (Cravings not Trail's End). There were "personality" conflicts within Pack. The Pack trailer and equipment including Pinewood Derby track was taken by other Scouters? Coincidentally, trailer and equipment is in possession of another pack that Council was directing families to? Police seem confused about ownership. Maybe trailers are not registered in Michigan?

Keller, TX * Pack Among the first to welcome girl members. Starting Monday January 1st, girls can register to join Keller Pack 450. which "will have their own girls-only dens, but can now reach the same ranks as the cubs and boy scouts and they will work with the boys on some programs." ..."Keller Pack 450 will be part of the Family Scouting Pilot Program.". https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Keller-Cub-Scout-Pack-Among-the-First-to-Welcome-Girls-467613303.html *Note: I believe Keller, TX is served by the Alamo Area Council.

Is the bottom one an upside down Eagle Scout (red-white-blue) ribbon?

IMO, that would make a great commercial for BSA. Final scene where a young man walks outside, looks to night sky, smiles, and then looks at his rebel (symbol) ring. Young person inside with real turmoil on tv, game turmoil on Xbox, walks outside into light, smiles, and puts on his Scout (symbol) hat. The Rebellion.

What's in a name these days. I wouldn't be surprised if some past custom carved cars were made from basswood.

Rumors about that our Pack may have its first 3D printed pinewood derby car this year. Nothing in our rules that a Pinewood Derby Car must be made of wood.

I believe Air Scouts were re-designated Air Explorers sometime after 1946.
