And if a LOCAL COUNCIL did it, they would get in trouble.

Is "Officially Licensed" the same as an "Endorsement"? https://www.buckknives.com/collection/bsa/

Yes. It was not long also that BSA websites only worked with IE. I am not a pdf expert but having read this https://www.foxitsoftware.com/blog/acroforms-vs-xfa-forms/ I wonder if the Eagle workbook should be recreated as a pdf with an Acroforms format instead of the current XFA format?

The tools which I have tried fail to read the 27 page Eagle workbook a create the infamous 1 page "Please Wait...", as shown below. Found this explanation from http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/if-this-message-is-not-eventually-replaced-by-the-proper-contents-of-the-document.php Question Why do I receive the error message below when I try to open specific PDF forms? Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows, Mac, or Linux by visiting get.adobe.com/reader . For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit helpx.adobe.com/support.html This happens when I try render these PDF files using Quick PDF Library, Foxit Reader, Nitro Reader and numerous other PDF viewers. I can only open the PDF using the latest version of Adobe Reader. Why? Answer Certain PDF files (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can only be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF viewer, then you will see this error message. Unfortunately, it's not easy remove this message and modify the PDF so that it can be opened in alternative PDF viewers. The person who created the original form must re-create the form using options that do not restrict which PDF viewers can open and display the file. Adobe has made the decision that since very few non-Adobe products support these special PDF files, that it is better to show this message -- and require the user to download Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat -- than it is to let the PDF viewer try to render the document. We strongly disagree with this decision that Adobe has made and will work to try to convince them to reverse this bad policy, which just causes needless confusion for users of PDF.

cutePDF - is a free print utility which I use to extract pages (Word, pdf,...) into a pdf file. PDF escape is a free online PDF editor that I have used mostly on old pdfs. Disclaimer: I am not a fan of Adobe "Always need to Update" software.

Back in the day, I typed my one page Eagle Project report on my Dad's typewriter. As I recall it was my first and only use of carbon paper as I needed two copies. I am a hunt and peck typist, still it was faster than this pdf stuff.

Struggling to add information to Eagle Scout Service Project pdf without negating the existing fillable entries. For example, Proposal Page E is the signature page. The signatures were handwritten, so I would like to scan that page, create a pdf, (no problem) and then insert/replace into the Eagle Scout Service Project pdf (big problem). I would also like to insert photos and drawing pdf's into Eagle Scout Service Project pdf, I have tried a few free pdf tools without success, the closest was a merged pdf but the form fields were non-functional. Any free pdf tool advice?

Assign a National guy to my unit and I'll have him volunteer to handle all the medical forms while I'll handle all the Tour Permits/Plans.

If ... they spent THEIR vacation time.

The cost of what I am trying to protect is priceless. I can name at least 3 scout camps where firearms have been stolen in the last 2 years. I am certain there are more. There's a problem.

Well at least the firearms were locked up, unlike http://scouter.com/index.php/topic/26813-shotguns-stolen-public-youth-shooting-program-and-bsa-at-risk/page-2?hl=+rifles%20+stolen Maybe the BSA could re-assign their squirt gun police to firearm security. I hope Bechtel Summit down the road is more secure.

Times change. Remember when your SM one-liner was "Being a scout looks good on your college application, Earning Eagle gets you a pay grade bump if you enlist." ?

From FB A SCOUT IS TRUSTWORTHY. The picture taken below is of the Rifle Range shelter at Camp Mountaineer. Sometime between Sunday night May 14th and last night, May 16th, an individual or more likely individuals broke into our Rifle Range building and stole one of our Sentry Safes (crap - RS) filled with 10 .22 rifles and 4 pellet rifles. Here is a description of the guns stolen: Savage Mod Mark 1 G 22 Long Rifle single shot, birch stock with serial numbers: 1171782, 1280641, 1280644, 1280645, 1280646, 1280647, 1280648, 1280649, 1280650, and 1280653. Each rifle was blue finished metal and birch wood stocks and open sights. The pellet rifles were Crossman 508 Olympic Sights Target pellet rifles with hard sided rifle cases in black and aluminum. If you happen to see any of these guns on facebook, craiglist, yard sales, flea markets, etc. please notify us and the West Virginia State Police. We intend to push for prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. We will be working over the next few weeks to repair the damages, install more security measures, and replace the stolen equipment. Any help you can give to make sure our Scouts continue to get a great program despite this disappointing setback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! My advice, 1. Do not store firearms at an unattended, remote site. Pry bars, chain saws, winch on an ATV all make break-in easy. 2. Store in a real gun safe, bolted to concrete floor, with dehumidifier. A good one (e.g. Fort Knox) will cost about twice the cost of those rifles stolen, that sheet metal Sentry safe used probably cost 1/10. 3. Alarm system with battery backup and cameras. 4. Store ammunition separate from firearms. 5. Off-season store securely off-site - local gun shop, police department. What are the requirements for firearm storage at summer camps? My $0.02

Welcome to scouter,com My understanding, BALOO training is for Cub Scout overnighters. An overnighter may or may not be a campout, e.g. museum overnighter. Usually Cubs just visit a camporee during the day, while Webelos (older Cubs) might camp overnight with a Boy Scout troop.

Welcome to Scouter.com Is the old SM available? How many Assistant Scoutmasters are there in your troop?

A tone of liberation from the LDS scouts?

MORGANTOWN Local Boy Scouts need the public help to find a dozen rifles stolen from their camp. Mountaineer Area Council Boy Scouts CEO and Scout Executive Jeff Doty said that volunteers were last at the shed at Camp Mountaineer on Sunday evening, May 14. By the time another volunteers returned May 16, they discovered someone broke in. The suspects took a safe that had 10 22-caliber rifles and four pellet rifles, Doty said. The rifles were Savage Mod Mark 1 G 22 Long Rifle single shot, birch stock with serial numbers: 1171782, 1280641, 1280644, 1280645, 1280646, 1280647, 1280648, 1280649, 1280650, and 128065. The council is asking for the public help, and if people see one of these guns on an online site or in a store, they are asked to contact the council or the West Virginia State Police. http://www.dominionpost.com/14-rifles-stolen-from-local-Boy

I dunno if only the web had the ability to have central places, call them hubs or portals, where you could start and then easily navigate to the desired information and as a backup the whole site accessible to and indexed by common search engines... We seem lost, but let's look at a map. http://2zcwe21sj5ak1wpzl92omr3u.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/architecture.pdf http://itroadmap.scouting.org/

My concern is while those scouts would remain enrolled for say a year, they would have less time for Scout activities with now LDS youth activities. So if it is a LDS hike or campout, allow credit to Scout advancement. Not unlike allowing all the double and triple dipping that goes on with service projects among school, scouts, and church.

Sleepover? Let's keep the outing in Scouting - a summer bag.

Okay of that 61,000, as an "encouragement" to continue in Scouts, should the BSA accept non-Scout hikes and campouts towards advancement?

Getting back to topic, how could the BSA persuade these 185,000 boys to re-register in another troop? As alluded in other topics, could the BSA credit non-Scout outings towards advancement?

Fairly common. A major advantage with a heated cabin is the ease of drying gear after a day's activities.

Hah. This just came up again in the Eagle Project Workbook, page 13 Logistics Check with your council service center to determine if a Tour and Activity Plan is required. How will you handle transportation of materials, supplies, tools, and helpers? Will you need a Tour and Activity Plan?
