Same Scout Oath and Law but in a STEM program.

Let's refrain from personal attacks and feelings of superiority please when posting. Thanks. @NJCubScouter , @Sentinel947 , @LeCastor

“All of them together make this gooey, but not so gooey slime,” explained 10-year-old Jonah Weber, who learned the importance of meticulous measurement and lab safety practices in the pursuit of discovery at the inaugural meeting. It doesn’t get more hands-on than stretching slime between fingers, adding different levels of liquid to see how it affects the material’s viscosity or sticking it to noses. “It was fun and creative,” Weber said. “What’s important is that it helps the Scouts be successful citizens,” Weber said. The scout said that Scout principles and STEM, especially engineering, have a lot in common. “It’s helping people,” he said.

We have collected Pack photos and created a Thanks for Lifetime Memories video on DVD for departing leaders.

Character building has been central (emphasized) from day one. Often BP when talking to scouts asked if they had done their good deed for today.

My Dad, ex-Navy, laughed his hardest watching Sergeant Bilko (The Phil Silvers Show). I guess the humor transfers to all services. Still funny today.

Good luck with both, especially the scenarios . Take a breath and remember your training - survey the scene, protect yourself, survey the patient...

Amen to that. As some doubt that girls will meet requirements, I hope girls show how easy the requirements actually are and the bar will be restored to past heights.

For EMR is that the cognitive or psychometer exam?

Did you have midterms recently?

@Duhawk49 welcome to scouter.com @mashmaster, @qwazse , @Tampa Turtlecome to mind. I believe they have attended SeaBase, I am sure there are other members too.

...and in the end, scouts will buy and bring their own tent/hammock/bivouac,

I'm game. Setup up a experiment topic with your one post and done rule. I will delete those who attempt a second post.

China may be interested. In November, "China Energy Investment Corporation Limited signed an agreement (Memorandum of Understanding?) with the West Virginia Department of Commerce on an $83.7 billion plan to invest in shale gas development and chemical manufacturing projects in West Virginia.

My understanding the OA (BSA) has NOT branded any images of Native Americans., just arrow images. Meanwhile, the long goodbye of Cleveland Indian Chief Wahoo has begun. ... well at least from uniforms and billboards. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/29/sports/baseball/cleveland-indians-chief-wahoo-logo.html

A good experiment for Environmental Science merit badge. Do these balloons biodegrade in water, soil, and how long does it take? What happens if wildlife ingests?

Are we confusing dialog from 2001 and 2010?

National needs an upbeat promo for the early adopters ...maybe something like this...

+1 on greased watermelon race.

Ok then, you two agree to disagree. That much is clear. @NJCubScouter , @Sentinel947

@Tgstaffer welcome to scouter.com

IMO, Yes this not about equality, this is about safety, . The BSA believes their policy is statistically safer. Will there still be violations? Yes. Another $0.02

Does the Scout Oath and Law imply equal treatment or helpful, kind and courteous treatment? If equal treatment, I'm either not helping any more little old ladies across the street or I am helping everyone cross the street. If helpful, kind, and courteous treatment, I will help others based on their needs and my resources. Do I treat everyone in my troop equally? No, all scouts are different with different needs. IMO Surbaugh is talking about the latter, helping families who want all their kids in the BSA program. My $0.02

French filmmaker Fx Goby’s award-winning short film To Build a Fire, commissioned by the Boy Scouts of America and co-produced by Nexus Studios and Composite Films, premiered online in December as a Vimeo staff pick. To Build a Fire is widely recognized as Jack London’s masterpiece and a classic of American literature, with Goby’s animated film adaptation touring festivals to great acclaim since 2016, the centenary of London’s death. The 13-minute 2D-animated short, animated in Adobe Flash with the help of 3D modeling tools, tells the story of a trapper and his dog attempting to cross the Yukon in the harshness of midwinter. With striking visuals and a score composed by Mathieu Alvado and recorded by members the London Symphony Orchestra, To Build a Fire has won over animation, film and Jack London enthusiasts alike. Accolades include the Grand Prize for Best Animation at the Rhode Island Film Festival, Best International Animation at Shorts Mexico, and Best Animation at this year’s London Short Film Festival.
