  1. I know at least one member who is on the National Staff. IF they are smart, they would be regular lurkers here, and heed what we have to say. For some of us, our Scouting experience goes back to the early 60s.
  2. Er muss mein Hut sein.
  3. You are correct, as soon as he submits a properly signed transfer app, his Cub Scout career is over and he is a Boy Scout, with all that goes with it.
  4. We once had a Commissioner show up at a B/G to present the Pack Charter. I am not exaggerating, he looked like a North Korean General. He was a long time Scout/Scouter and was wearing EVERY possible award that had ever been presented to him, from the Bobcat pin to his youth MB sash, OA sash, medals, neck ribbons, etc.
  5. OA has always been an "optional" Scouting program and is an individual decision. You don't want to do OA, then DON'T. If you take the obligation that goes with the honor, then do it with good intentions and fulfill it to the best of your ability. If you don't want to participate after the Ordeal, then remove the lodge flap and carry on. And don't show up at your EBOR sporting the flap and sash, because I WILL ask you questions about your OA experience.
  6. Few Carhartt products are still made in the USA. Most is outsourced to Mexico and China. That's a NO from me.
  7. Just a word to the wise...make SURE you will pass the medical/physical requirements for Philmont before putting down any money and making plans. THere were horror stories here a few years ago, when Scouters showed up for check in and failed the medical check for being overweight (they do check). Not sure what the policy is for CPAP machines but I would be surprised if they don't have one. I have OSA too, and would never think of doing a Philmont trek.
  8. Sounds clear to me. But in all fairness, BSA has similar fundraising rules. The name and trademarks of the BSA is not to be used in fundraising for other organizations, regardless of how righteous the cause.

  10. I can't help but think this is a societal problem. I have work I need done and cash in hand for some handyman work. Think I can get anyone to show any interest? My neighbor did have someone working on his house, so I went over and talked to him to do some floor repair. He actually came over and looked at the job, acted interested and promised to email me an estimate the next day. I didn't really need an estimate at this point, I was ready to pay whatever he said, since in two years, it's the first time anyone has bothered to look at it. Well, it's been 2 weeks. Nothing. I realize it's
  11. Just announced by the Council I was affiliated with. No further details at this time.
  12. The Rovers are back! Who Are the Rovers? The Rovers are a group of young adults aged 21-34 with a passion for the outdoors, giving back to the community, and hanging out with like minded peers. Our Goal Our goal is to provide a community for young adults who would have previously “aged out” of other Scouting programs. You don’t stop learning and growing when you turn 21, so we want to continue fostering the values of Scouting as young adults. The Benefits of Rovers The Rover program benefits the
  13. This is where the CO/COR has power. Spin them up and send them over to Council to DEMAND action...or else they will consider the Charter agreement null and void. When 75% of the council's units threaten to walk, along with any associated FOS pledges, it might get their attention. If the Pros' goals are Members, Units and Money, YOU control all of that.
  14. A famed NYC museum is closing 2 Native American halls, and others have taken similar steps - CBS News
