An almost 5th generation Eagle Scout http://www.jayhawkcouncil.org/News/Eagle-Wood

Given the BSA is 108 years old, I would think 5 generations of Eagles in a family would be the limit. I have not found 5 generations yet, though I have found other interesting combinations: 25 Eagles in 3 generations http://www.tallahasseemagazine.com/March-April-2010/A-Nest-of-Eagles/ 15 Eagles in one family https://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/news/local/outreach/caring-communities/2017/06/30/east-brunswick-family-has-landed-15-eagle-scouts-and-counting/388949001/

@Podunk21 , I took a try at the topic title. I found these families with three generations of Eagle. https://www.mysanantonio.com/neighborhood/cyfair/news/article/Three-generations-of-family-are-part-of-Eagle-10880409.php http://www.summitbsa.org/three-generations-eagle-scouts-help-soar/ four generations of Eagle Scouts https://www.lds.org/church/news/four-generations-of-eagle-scouts?lang=eng http://www.ocbsa.org/news/press-releases/fourth-generation-eagle-scout/

@ABDELBARI welcome to scouter.com.

Depends on the type firearm and state as the process differs from firearm type and capacity. You can transfer (sell yourself) or consignment sell your firearm through someone or some shop which has a FFL (Federal Firearm License) who can call in the background check if required. There is a fee for this. The FFL will first ask for identification which depending on the state and firearm type may be a license to carry, firearm permit, and at the least a drivers license. Some out of state firearm transfers, e.g. pistols, must go through a FFL in your home state. In some states, you can FTF (face to face) transfer at a local or state police station who will background check. And if the firearm is 100yrs. old, say a working, double heat-treated WW1 1903, no FFL transfer is required... considered antique. I hope I got the above correct. That said, the federal background check NICS is only as good as data provided by the states but no one talks about that. Massachusetts will NOT provide mental health data to the FBI/NICS citing HIPAA privacy laws. We saw recently the USAF (Devin Kelley mass shooting) had not provided conviction data to the FBI/NICS. Other military branches failed as well. Much to consider.

Upwind of the latrine and between where the scouts camp and where you don't want them to go.

I thought this was a very clever activity idea. https://www.omahasymphony.org/media/2605/boy-scout-day-packet-2018.pdf

I stumbled upon this in wiki today and had not heard of this Scouting organization before. The Boy Scouts of the United Nations existed from 1945 through perhaps the early 1980s as the Scouting association serving the families of diplomats and staff of the United Nations, active in both Geneva and at Parkway Village in New York. The organization sponsored groups in India, Lebanon and Cyprus and had ties to the International Boy Scouts of the Canal Zone.

That term is new to me too. I would recommend those who attempt to virtue signal, first take the high ground like back in the day.

Bob J. Tilllerson was a scout*, a sailor who served in the U.S. Navy during and after World War Two, an outdoorsman, a scouter and scout executive, but most important he was father to three children. His son is Secretary of State Rex Tillerson who has also been involved in Scouting. He was 91.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks.

Hard to understand parents who shop around for the best school, teachers, doctors, tutors, coaches ...would think Boy Scouts is the same everywhere. But when I ask, they remind me we are a national organization , wear the same uniform, same handbooks, same Oath and Law,... Well yes, but all scouting is local, too late. My $0.02

Now called the next generation of Youth Protection or Youth Protection 2.0 or YPT2 or YPT-2 not to be confused with YPT-2 (circa 2015) ... registered leaders are to complete by Oct 1, 2018 . But note Adults accompanying units on activities who are present at the activity for 72 hours or more, must take YPT2. The 72 hours need not be consecutive. ( The Chicago Tribune reported that these adults , leaders or not, will also require a background checks but I have not been able to confirm. - RS) Two BSA Positions that are (still ridiculously - RS) exempt from taking YPT2 are institutional heads (i.e., head of the chartered organization) and adult partners in Tiger and Lion programs. https://www.scoutingvermont.org/uploads/4/7/2/2/47226097/gmc_ypt_updates.pdf http://www.montanabsa.org/youth-protection-training_ypt2/

...Benny’s shirt had “Bad Boy” on the back. I’m not sure if his mother told the Den Mother that was his name or if Benny’s reputation preceded him and the Den Mother put it on the back of his shirt to make him easier to identify. Much to my surprise, Benny turned out to be pretty good at Cub Scouting skills. He made a leather belt, started a fire and caught a fish. But … he used the belt like a bull whip, set the Scoutmaster’s shoe on fire and put the fish in the Den Mother’s purse.... A funny short read about Cub Scouting back in the day when black eyes were more prized than well anything. http://www.sandmountainreporter.com/article_f7f5908c-1b3b-11e8-aec2-73c0cb8b447e.html

A South Jersey (flatlander) BSA Troop 26 (Germania,NJ) preparing for Philmont 2019 hired a mountain guide from Synnott Mountain Guides and summited Mt. Washington (NH) in Feb.

Update from KIFI/KIDK news: There were three groups of Boy Scouts in the 17 Mile Cave when it filled with smoke early Saturday morning but, it wasn't their fire. The scouts say a group of young men entered the cave while they were sleeping and played loud music and spray painted the walls before leaving. The first scout troop left, and the young men came back an hour later. "They were awakened by the sound of wood being dropped through the entrance," Clarke Farrer, Scout Executive for the Grand Teton Council Boy Scouts, said. "They said there was a loud noise. They didn't know what it was so they got up to find out what was going on. They saw bundles of firewood being thrown down inside the cave." The group built a fire inside the cave and began cooking hot dogs and drinking. "The scout leaders went over to them and said that there was scouts there," Farrer said. "And that they were bothering them and that the smoke from their fire was filling the cave and kids didn't care." That's when the other two scout troops decided to call 9-1-1 and evacuate. "The real sad part about the story is that the EMS person told the scout leaders that if either they had remained asleep or if they had stayed in that cave much longer that it's possible all of them could have been overcome by carbon monoxide poisoning and it could have been deadly," Farrer said.

Ok then, agree to disagree and move on. Thanks. @NJCubScouter @LeCastor
