Dang! I thought this was about stove fuel... " I love cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food" ((attrib. to W.C.Fields)) I would eschew the wine. If, without it, the recipe is not well received, add catsup to it, the boys will understand... ;-)(This message has been edited by SSScout)

Congratulations. I'm sure you will long remember the WB experience. And the ..."White Envelope"... 1) I hope you asked the DE about this. Did he know what was in the envelope or was he merely delivering for someone else? 2) In Our Council/District: When the final ticket is accepted, the WBer tells his Troop Guide how he/she wants his/her beads delivered. Ceremony? Where, when, how extravagant? And the TG and WB CD/SM comes and presents the WBer with the beads, necker, woggle, etc. No ceremony desired? Then what? Mail? Hand off at Roundtable? I had my beading done at my home Troop CoH and

Awright! Back in Scouter! I was in withdrawal without my Scouter fix until just now! From friday night til now, everytime I clicked "Scouter", I got the above message. Moderators: what news? Beavah: I pm'ed twice, but no reply. Didst receive?

"A troll is a member of a fearsome humanoid race from Scandinavian folklore, and its predecessor Norse mythology, as in "The Three Billy Goats Gruff [1] (http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/billygoats/)," the well-known Scandinavian folk tale in which a troll living under a bridge torments some billy goats that want to cross. Grendel in the poem Beowulf is a closely similar creature. The word "Troll" is possibly derived from an old norse word meaning magic, cf. Swedish "Trolla", Danish "Trylle" (Perform magic tricks)." "In Swedish children's literature, trolls are not naturally evil, but p

Owl be seeing you In owl the old familiar places That these beads of mine embraces Owl day through... In an Eagle's snack, A Beaver's tail that some may lack; The Bobwhite flock; The Kudu's horn; The Weather Rock.... Owl be seeing you In every lovely P L C; With every thing B P might say. Owl always think of you that way... Owl find you When the Foxes run And when the night is new... Owl be sitting at campfire, But owl be seeing you...... Owl be seeing you In every lovely Buffaloe; In every little Bear's big toe, Owl always think of Webelo,

Dan K has it succinctly about the Religious Award. I would like to point out that when the Bears have their Bear Badge, that should not be a sign to sit down and take Cub nap. There are lots of Arrow Points to earn and places to go and(I hope) lots of stuff to do, Den wise, Pack wise and District and Council wise! Keep them Bears (and Tigers and Wolves) hopping!

In MD, I can vouch for Little Bennett, very Scout friendly, and have visited Cunningham Falls and Cedar Creek. They tend to be crowded early. Ask the Rangers for the least crowded weekends at any State Park. Washington Monument is pretty and more rugged, and right on the AT. Might not be as popular with the public. Go there in person to scout out the facilities if at all possible. And, don't forget CWBSnyder, the Council camp.

The "minimum" is ONE BSA trained and certified (card is up to date) Range Safety Officer on site during range open hours. That's one Archery on the Archery Range, and one BB Shooting Sports on the BB Range. No RSO, no open range. THEREFORE, it is a good thing to have more than one BSA RSO available for potty breaks, reporting to Admin, etc. Get lots of Boy Scout assistants, many worthy adult assistants, who your Chief RSO trains to his satisfaction. BUT,,, no RSO , no open range. Assts. don't fill the bill for BSA purposes. When they take their RSO Training, they should be given the fol

My father lost his left arm in an accident long before he even met my mom, so I only knew him with his one, strong right arm. He taught me many things; among them, how to tie my shoes. One handed. Try it some time.

What he said. Anything but "visitor". Thank you for the clarification.

It was not an emergency. There were no lives saved. There was no rubble to clear away. This was planned (?weeks? months?) ahead. The tents/ cabins/cots would have been empty otherwise. The city saw the conference as good PR, economy raising for the caterers and hospitality folks involved. A "good faith" donation. Accept the money and buy a new sewage pump for Heritage. Repaint the Ranger's house.

I promise to be more specific in the near future. However, I have been made aware of a situation and would welcome PMs from folks that have experienced any problems in registering to attend the 2010 Jamboree, either as Staff or as an Attender.

In order to use Coleman Mantles, do you need Coleman Fireplaces? (TeeHeeHee...) or... Is Coleman related to Mickey? Seriously tho, why are they called "mantle"?? Anyone know?

Polyurathane. Light spray coat. Let me know how it works out, I did it with a wool ball cap once with mixed results. A stiff wool hat should do well.

"504 Gateway Failure" with a short letter/number list, several everytime til now. Good to be home.

"The work is done by whoever shows up." After reading the thread above, here is my observation/interpretation: 1) The COR is selected by the CO, thru the IH. 2) The COR serves as the representative of the charter organization to the Scout District AND the Scout Council. He/she must be a "member" of those ruling boards, otherwise she/he would not have a vote on them. 2A) This does not mean the COR is a member of the Executive Board, however that may be constituted. But they might. See the above slogan. 3) To see the effect of the attendance or absence of the COR at those

Wilkommen!

We would get a dad to cut some "cookies" from a log, sand the disk smooth, and woodburn the names, etc. into the disk, a coat of poly, then attach a short arrow and/or a big AoL Web patch (available at Scoutshop) to it. Made a handsome award, we thought. Woodburning set available at local hobby shop or WMart or Sears... No need for brass engraving, mail waiting, more close to home... Congrats to your Webelos.

Everytime an OA activity is listed on the calender here, it may or may not be listed "A Beaded Activity", meaning that participants receive a bead of particular shape and color to string on their "coup loop". Some OA folks have long OA Leis. Much neck wear. Stoop shoulders result from much service?
