Hey Wheeler is discriminatory he forgot to count us Sincerly, Girls and Women

Wheeler, Did you really look up all these references in the books? Are you really involved with a scouting unit?

Eagle Ceremony Comments by SM
Scoutmaster Ron replied to PinkFloyd's topic in Open Discussion - Program
I'm new to this one and have never attended an ECOH, who plans it? is dinner usually served? How many speakers do you usually have? -
Yes, besides slow or maybe it's just me but when I rank a post with the thumbs-up or down it requires to put in your account number but you can never tell if your vote went thru
-
Sure he can..... provided he is a completed merit badge counselor training, is a counselor for every merit badge and the scout has successfully completed the requirements. Ok now I will be ducking from paper wads being thrown at me..ha ha
-
mk.. Sorry if I seemed to imply I want the committee to do everything for the boys that is not my intention, it is my opionion that everyone who is involved in the troop better understand their roles and how to serve the boys and the troop better by going thru training for their respective positions.
-
Mark, Was the training valuable to the committee? I have a similar situation in which the committee in the troop I serve has not gone thru training in the 3 years I've been a part of it and probably not ever.

Don't quote me but I think it's at least 1 week of consecutive camping but a total of 15 or 20 nights total only 1 week of that consecutive camping counts

The Value of Wood Badge Training
Scoutmaster Ron replied to wyomingi's topic in Wood Badge and adult leader training
I've attended many mangement classes for the company I work for and have found that Wood Badge touches on alot of the points...team building ,learning to listen, working with others. -
what to do about caneled campouts
Scoutmaster Ron replied to andrewcanoe's topic in Open Discussion - Program
Last year during a difficult time for the troop a couple of outings were cancelled due to lack of interests. The PLC planned the outing however when it came time to go nobody wanted to or maybe just a couple of boys. We no longer cancel an outing if only two boys want to go, we go and have a great time -
Bridge Crossing for boys not joining a troop
Scoutmaster Ron replied to CMFB's topic in Advancement Resources
Great idea Bob having seperate ceremonies for each group of boys -
As an adult leader I personally wouldn't mind wearing the overseas cap also

How about the LaChicacabra's

Webelos Recruitment this years projections.
Scoutmaster Ron replied to Bob White's topic in Working with Kids
We have had 1 new boy off the streets and two confirmed webelos that will be crosssing over. During last weekends outing we had 4 other boys come by and visit and bring ice cream and hot fudge after their Pinewood derby. Our meeting room is aalso tight on space but this is a problem I would like to have of too many boys, rather be working on how to find more room than hear from "if I cant join your troop than I'll just quit" -
New to the Board of Review process
Scoutmaster Ron replied to scoutmom's topic in Advancement Resources
I sometimes wonder where our committee gets their questions from. I would like to sit in during one -
New to the Board of Review process
Scoutmaster Ron replied to scoutmom's topic in Advancement Resources
Bob, Would it be safe to say then the BOR process is a way or method to determine if the program is being followed? Not by having the scout repeat the knots and the 1st aid or naming his 10 plants and animals but to ask how he went about it? -
Made is as far as AOL, none of my friends wanted to continue on, I cant remember if I had anyone actually approach me about going into Boy Scouts
-
Bob, Was it a tough decision to make? for myself who may be honored to be asked to serve as scoutmaster it would be tough because I really want to do it however on the other half all of the other ASM's all have sons in the troop also.

What's the Scouters award? and S.A.'s?
-
Tks for the thread Eagley in Ky You posted the question is there any other ideas..not saying this is good or bad or you should be but during a meeting or outing what does your son call you? Dad or Mr. Eagle in K.Y? I always wondered if I should have taken offense to that question posed to my son or if I should have questioned the committee of the purpose of that question.

Follow Me Boys out on DVD!!
Scoutmaster Ron replied to SouthPoleScout's topic in Open Discussion - Program
I think the store called "Best Buy" also carries it in stores. Has anyone seen it? What did you think? -
New to the Board of Review process
Scoutmaster Ron replied to scoutmom's topic in Advancement Resources
During one of my son's BOR he was asked "How many merit badges has your Dad signed off on for you" appropriate? the answer was only 1 (non-eagle) of course. Allthough I know I can sign off on eagle required merit badges I dont by preference -
I just recently finished a TJLT it was our 1st in about 4 years. We did it at our normal meeting place. Doing it during an outing would be nice but I dont think the participation would have been as high

Are The Tickets Getting In The Way?
Scoutmaster Ron replied to Eamonn's topic in Wood Badge and adult leader training
Personally for me I wish they had told to have an idea of what your tickets might be before starting, then you can sit down with the SM and or the CC as to best help your unit. Everyone told me that your tickets will develop while your there but again for me it was better to have an idea or list of ideas before starting.
