    The annual Memorial Illumination is "held the first Saturday in December because it provides a maximum amount of darkness and the battlefield leases about half the park to local farmers.

"It's a tangible way to see 23,000," said Keith Snyder, chief of resource education and visitor services for the battlefield. "This was the bloodiest day in American military history. It's four times D-Day,

    Tang, yes! The drink of Astronauts. No Kool-Aid for us. My setting up a kitchen work area before preparing a meal still rolls the eyes of my wife who works the cabinet and kitchen doors to fetch when she cooks.

    I hope there is a plan and training before there is a "date", but who knows. Shenandoah Area Council is having a Leadership Summit in February . "Topics will include the function and roles of the Council/District committees in support of our Chartered Partners and the expansion of girls of all ages into the BSA." http://www.sac-bsa.org/openrosters/ViewOrgPageLink.aspx?orgkey=2571&itemkey=14403

    While a guest on Saturday CBS This Morning's The Dish, Chef Greg Baxtrom talked about cooking in Boy Scouts and how it influenced him in his career. Here is link to video (at 1:38, interviewer asks about culinary Boy Scout training) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-dish-chef-greg-baxtrom He also credited Lipton Onion Dip Mix in a March interview with Bon Appetit All the Boy Scouts’ dads would get into it and try to show off to each other. It started with canned beef stew, and then it turned into making your own beef stew. Then more like silver dollar cooking, where you take som

    Yes. and seemingly more than one definition of "family" and more than ne relationship with the common family. Hard to say which I dislike more Family Scouting or family mentoring (my wording). The latter being where the BSA is telling my wife and I how to be a parent - when to do medicals, what meetings and discussions I should have with my child, ...
