  1. We give the Boys Arrow Plaques. Does not cost much, and If you have some-one that can work with wood they take about ten minutes to construct. For more info let me know. (This message has been edited by sm41)

  3. My Post keep getting cut off, Why???? Hmmmm Yes we do. I started the tradition eith-in our pack 6 years ago. The ash's I used were from the days when I was a scout. The Linage of those ashes trace all the way back to a Jamboree in the 1930's. Each of my scouts get a small film canister full the next day and a peice of paper with the history of the ashes.

  6. I do not have any Checklist's etc, but I just did start a new troop. What I did is sat down and decided with my Commeettee and COR what we wanted to accomplish with the troop. During this phase we decided what we needed to get going and have a quality program to start. From this list we decided what was essential, then what is "nice to have" My COR was very helpful in obtaining funds, and I received a lot of support from local orginazations. We lined up the boys and started up. For a pack you will need: CC, 2 more Committee Members, a CM, and a den leader an
  7. Ok, I am going to try my post again... I wish we had the same problem. I would consider having a new troop started using some (not all) of your experienced scouts and leaders. Set it up under the same framework as the old troop. As the previous post suggested 30 to 40 (I have seen 60) scouts in a boy run troop is about the max. If there are other troops in the area, talk with them and see why the Webelos do not want to go there. Help them change if needed. YIS SM41
  8. I would love to have this problem. The best thing to do is Encourage the formation of a new troop in the area. P

  10. All, very well put. Being a new Scoutmaster for a new troop (1/2 year old) it has been difficult not to become a MB mill, or a Badge mill. I have stuck to my guns with the scouts and the parents, we will not just churn out the badges, period. I tell the PLC to plan it, and we will get it done. They have finally got it. This year (Starting in September) the PLC has designed the program with three things in mind. 1. New scout in February. The troop will get 8 New boys in February, the PLC has decided it is time to get some First classes and they are working towards it. Out of 10 Scouts
  11. I agree with the Last post. Let the parents and the scout decide what they want to do. If they decide to jump in a
  12. Thanks all for you comments: to answer a couple of questions: 1. Why do we need a trailer, considering the LNT. A. To transport or 3 Man tents B. Summer Camp oppertunities. It is hard (Not Impossable) to go on a week of camping with out Stoves ETC. C. To store our Equipment as We have very little room at our COR. D. New Scouts have yet to learn not to bring the 10 Pairs of pants mom say's to take. I am not new to the LNT or camping scene. I personally take the same equipment weather it is a one nighter or two weeks. My pack when loaded with personal
  13. Hi all, My pack had this happen a 4 or 5 years ago. A boy did not pass the 1st grade and was a tiger cub. His age was a little low for the grade based upon the sept 1st age cut-off. He did quite well in cub scouts as a tiger. We allowed him to travel up the scouting ladder as normal, and cross over into Boy-Scouts when he was in fourth grade. The actual date on his Boy-Scout app was his 11th Birth-Day. March 15. He crossed over in Febuary. He earned the AOL and is doing well in Boy Scouts right now. First one to earn his tender and Second. Well on his way to first. Dur
