I recently (last year) found out that my drivers license was suspended. It seems that my daughter, got a whole bunch of parking tickets, and didnt pay them. My name is on the title of the car, so guess whose license got suspended. Stuff happens; just explain your self and every thing will work out. P.S. guess who lost her license?

Have you tried sexwax, a couple of stripes on each side of the pad and the pad doesnt slip on the tent bottom and the bag stays on the pad. Remember to use the right temp rating or it can get really messy! (I prefer the quick humps 4x firm in root beer flavor)

Just a small comment on the G2SS, remember that these are the MINNIMUM requirements. When dealing with Safety [in scouts, at home, or at work] exceeding the minimum requirements is basically a no brainer. Its better for a scout to go home unhappy and in one piece, than to not go home again.

Below you will find the response from the President of South Florida Council of the Boy Scouts of America to the United Way. I thought you might want to read it. ___________________________________________________________________ Subject: RE: United Way Crisis Gentlemen & Ladies: Let me add my voice to the chorus, to the extent you have not already heard our side of the issues about Miami-Dade United Way. The United Way continues to try to deceive the community, including its large donors, by a series of very disingenuous claims. The facts are that United Way broke

I have to admit that I do ask scouts to tie a knot during an Eagle Scout Master Conference. But I do it for two distinct reasons, one, normally the scout is nervous so I ask them something really easy, that I know they know, (tie a bowline) to place them at ease. Two, I use it as a lead in to the following question, Who taught you that? This is to initiate a discussion about the fact that they have benefited from the experience, time, efforts, and knowledge of others. Talk about their personnel plans for there future in Scouting. To discuss my personnel feelings about how I have seen them gro

More questions. What is the specific level of experience of your adults? How far will they be traveling? What is the mode of travel? What is your expected entry point to the BW?

A few questions: One, who is your out fitter, or are you going threw Sommers? Two, how many scouts, there ages, there level of experience? Three, have you applied for and gotten your BWCA & Quetico permits? Take it from an old Charlie Guide, thier is a lot more to setting up a trip to the BW than meets the Eye.

You have quite a problem on your hands. This probably isnt the first time this has accorded, only the first time you have heard about it, and you will probably find other issues during your investigation, be ready. You need to get the TC involved ASAP! When I mean ASAP, I mean today. Have your CC call an emergency meeting of the TC. The TC will need to appoint a leader to investigate what has been going on; again they will find more issues that need to be dealt with. Try to find two leaders that do not directly work with these scouts on regular bases. These leaders will have to intervie

Congratulations on being asked! The first question I would ask is, what happened to the last SM and can they give me contact information for him/her. The previous SM can give you a great deal of insight into what is going on in the troop. If you decide to take the job, then good luck! Also, the best SMs I have ever dealt with rarely left their chair at both meetings and campouts. They let the boys steer the troop, with occasional course corrections as necessary, but only when necessary. The vast majority of the times were to run interference between the boy leadership and meddling

In our troop we have a very structured set of minimum requirements for each leadership position. They are as follows: JASM: Eagle Scout, and has been SPL in the past. SPL: Life Scout, has been a PL in the past, and has been in the troop for at least three program years (September1 to August 31). ASPL: Star Scout, has been a PL in the past, and has been in the troop for at least two program years (September1 to August 31). PL: First Class Scout, has been an APL in the past, and has been in the troop for at least one program year (September1 to August 31). APL: Sec

I remember when I went through scouting, a way long time ago, and at that time, all the way through my Eagle Board, I was expected to have a detailed knowledge of all my advancement requirements including what I did in merit badges, for service hour, and while holding positions of responsibility. I understand that this is not the current interpretation of a BOR, but a BOR is a test, of the program (I explain this to scouts when I sit there BOR). We use the BOR to verify that requirements are being properly presented and tested, that the scout is growing in the program, and that the scout is h

How about this, has any one else ever-tried using corn chip as a fire starter? Between the corn and all the grease, they light easily and burn a long time, and they dont violate the G2SS.

If national is trying to avoid looking military, then why did national commission a French designer to create the current uniforms, which are patterned after French Foreign Legion?

First, I carry a small pocket knife all the times possible. I find it to be a very useful tool to have with me. When selecting one for camping the leather man type tools are very useful, but I disagree with purchasing cheep replicas (you get what you pay for, and a good knife will last a life time). Stay with name brand knife manufactures. If you decide not to purchase one of these then here are a few things you should look for: Locking Blade (Almost mandatory safety feature) Stainless Steel Blade (easier to care for) Size (Big enough to do the job but not so large as to be cumb
