So out cub scout group literally blew up in the last 3 years. We were down to 1 scout three years ago, gained 12 scouts last year and now were up to 23 scouts. Were really excited and we have a great diverse group of kids from all backgrounds. However, we have one parent who seems so "uppity" and for better words or less rude. The first time I met her, I introduced myself and she went into a tirade about how the trading post scout store wasnt open when she needed it and how it was unprofessional. I apologized that it happened, and it would be a good idea to call next time, or let me know

Well, my idea is that I wouldnt let a scout go around by himself selling popcorn without an adult nearby. Our cubs go with an adult. If someone had said that to my cub, I would politely leave, but without mentioning the fact that you dont need to attack a child for an adult issue. I would then use that moment to teach that cub that if you are nice to everyone, 9/10 you will have someone whose lot in life is to make others feel like garbage. Say "thanks" and walk away. You cant say that you werent nice to them. Scouts are Friendly. anyone noticing how the media is just slamming BSA lately

Like I said, I wasnt trying to be a jerk, but I have seen how some people on this board and in other places criticize tickets as being too easy. If anything, I learned about wood badge off this site and some of the people who praise and condemn it really got me interested in it. I think when I learned about WB I wanted to help my pack become more organized and efficient for our leaders, parents, and kids. If the goal is to make those coming to WB not have any expectations or drink the kool aid before they come, it might be a good suggestion to password protect this forum to those who ha

So I am going to be attending Wood Badge in a couple of weeks and I have been thinking about some of my ticket ideas. I have heard that some people get away with some pretty easy ticket items like CPR/First Aid, and cooking some new dishes at a campout. Im not trying to be critical, but these IMHO pale in comparison to others I have seen such as organizing multiple pack campouts to reaching out to minorities to expose them to scouts. What are y'alls thoughts on easy tickets. My ideas are really running along the ideas of organization and pedagogy since I am a teacher, and our pack is in a rebo

I echo the paracord turks head woggle. Just made a bunch of them for our cubs graduation. A good way to make them last longer is to create a 2:1 ratio of woodglue and water and coat it liberally with 3 coats. Hard as a rock!

Long time lurker, First Post Saw something neat at a BALOO session. Get a bag small snack size bag of doritos Brown up some meat and have lettuce, cheese (onions-peppers if daring) and salsa add those ingredients to a doritos bag with chips in. Shake or crush vigorously. Boom. Taco Salad. Heard that kids eat that stuff up. Its not the "healthiest," but hey its camping.
