Older son would have eaten all the desserts. Younger son would have sold the desserts. Both would had declared a WIN.

from the Daily Mail link Last year, Josie Appleton, director of The Manifesto Club think tank, which campaigns against excessive regulation, said endless forms and recent child abuse scandals were deterring adults from signing up as Scout helpers. Forms for the Disclosure and Barring Service, which replaced the Criminal Records Bureau in 2012, are a particular problem. She said: ‘There is an incredible level of bureaucracy to do with child protection, and we’ve heard from parents who have been given DBS forms when their children are registering, before they’ve done anything.

Anyone using the Therm-a-rest NeoAir mini-pump - $40, two AAA batteries?

Are we talking bug juice or real juice? In US, regular soda is carbonated, HIGH sugar content, usually caffeinated more than coffee, no nutritional value.

Ugggh, you're killing me here. Scout law, Patrol Method.

Welcome. What leader training have you taken either online or in person with your Council?

National has communicated the alcohol policy change about as well as they did the Tour Plan policy change. As John mentioned, many if not most, councils and camps believe the old BSA policy remains As a facility (Philmont - RS) of the Boy Scouts of America, possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages is not permitted on the property. http://www.philmonts...e/policies.aspx Other council/camp websites still quote the old policy. The Boy Scouts of America prohibits the use of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances at encampments or activities on property owned and/or op

IMHO, said adult should be awarded an "untied" knot award and, in this case, I could go along with instant recognition.

Ah my suspicions are confirmed! He trying to steal a scouter.com moderator with a offer of a higher POR at his server.

My guess, he's talking about replacing scouter,com with a scout-run chat server.

Some of our scouts have used Minecraft (they setup their own game servers) and Xbox-live as a communication means. Generally troop/patrol discussions were short and the subsequent game playing long. Scouts have done similar with ham radio, but be aware managing an operating Discord server is much more work. Do you have the time? Maybe like ham radio, the server is only live for a hour or two each day? With your parent's consent, start small and unofficial and go from there. How will you authenticate users are real Scouts?

Maybe the idea is for father and son to construct a car without woodworking tools or maybe the idea is to get beer and soda sponsors for a scout event? The January pilot event was in Michigan Crossroads Council and sponsored by Tibbs Brewery (Kalamazoo) , who sold the kits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7zrNtv-jug Perhaps related, this week Don Shepard, the current SE of Daniel Webster Council (NH) , has been named the new SE of Michigan Crossroads Council of the Boy Scouts of America will have a new leader starting in May. The Michigan Crossroads Council was formed in 2012

How does your CO feel about Lions and Tigers? If they share your opinion, IMO they should talk to Council.

All too true. Too often adults (usually TC) get frustrated by the disorganized, sluggish, and maybe lazy developing scout leadership, and take over. Lessons lost.

Having them at the US Embassy (US soil) is different from having them at a Canadian airport (Canadian soil). If I was a Canadian, I would not allow a foreign government police powers on Canadian soil. I would be ok with the US pre-screening and Go/No-go but detaining should be a matter for solely for RCMP or Canadian police.

I was not aware there are US Border agents working pre-clearance to US at Canadian airports (currently 9). The procedure is also in effect at the Port of Vancouver, at Vancouver’s train station and on some B.C.-Washington ferry routes. Pre-clearance is expected to be introduced at Montreal’s train station for Amtrak’s Montreal-New York City route later this year. http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2017/03/30/canadians-growing-uneasy-about-more-power-for-u-s-border-guards-in-canada/ http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2017/02/13/bill-c23-proposed-legislation-would-heighten-powers-of-u-s-border-guards-in-c

“People in Canada used to take it for granted that they could just go to the border . . . but that’s no longer the case,†he said. Sigh, people in the United States too.

Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly visited Detroit on Monday (3/27/17) in part to allay fears from local Hispanics and Muslims about President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, but the results were mixed. ... “No one is targeted, regardless of what unfortunately gets reported sometimes,†Kelly said. “Every single time a foreigner or American citizen comes into this country — and there are millions every day — they generally move straight through the process. A very tiny number are set aside for additional screening. That’s not based on religion, color or politics, and
