I agree with evmori and scoutnut. One to the latrine and another to the coffee pot. That way you've got it covered coming or going.

Greetings Bud! Nice to have a "neighbor" on the forums. We've got a Woodbadge session coming up in March you might be interested in if you haven't gone yet.

Congrats on joining the madding crowd!!! I went thru Woodbadge SR831 (Chattanooga,TN) in Apr.2007 and finished up my ticket in May 2008. You will absolutely love it!! Don't go with any pre-conceived notions just enjoy the experience. I'm in the process of training to be a troop guide for the upcoming SR948 in March and am having fun remembering all the stuff that I thought I'd forgotten and the friendships that I made. One of my best friends that was in the Beaver Patrol with me is also going through as a troop guide in SR948 as well! I grew up in the 60's as a troop mascot(first cam

Okay BDPT00, just for you.... I'm doing my part to help a brother Beaver Staffer (just for "Beaver III"): OH! I used to be a Staffer And a Good 'ol Staffer too! But now I've finished Staffin' an' I don't know what to do... I'm growin' old and feeble an' I can Staff no more... So I'm going to work my ticket If I can! BACK TO GILWELL, HAPPY LAND! I'm gonna work my ticket, if I can!

If you thought that was cool, check out this patch that you can get online at Quartermasterstore.com... http://quartermasterstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PC-MC-3&Category_Code= It is 3 inches wide and 3.75 inches tall. It has a button loop which can be easily removed. Price: $4.99!! How neat is that? One of our troop guides had one as a temporary patch hanging off of his right pocket flap when I went through Wood Badge SR831. I've been itching to get one myself before I'm a troop guide for SR948.

Here is link/invitation for you and your WoodBadger family to join Clan MacLaren Society of North America if you attended WoodBadge. (You can become an honorary member of Clan MacLaren.) I thought it was pretty cool! http://www.clanmaclarenna.org/index.php/cms-join A Wood Badge Membership is $15.00 The membership is for scout leaders who have received their Wood Badge certification. Wood Badge members receive one copy of the MacLaren Standard. Wood Badge members receive one copy of all CMSNA mailings, except when mailings are exclusively related to voting privileges.

I refer back to a previous link: http://www.mninter.net/~blkeagle/camo.htm It had this to say about camoflage in it's discussion.... "Why? Why are we trying to 'blend into our surroundings', Chris?? Even with our earlier uniform -- the green khaki uniforms didn't readily blend in with the outdoor surroundings (it did a better job than the current khaki-tan shirts do), but we were not concerned with "blending in" back then, so why should we do it now?? Are we in Scouting "trying to hide what we're doing" in the woods?? No. We want people to see our program and what we're

I have a link that really puts all of the camo stuff into perspective. I've gone to this guy who is a scouter on so many levels from way back. He goes by the name "Black Eagle." His name is Mike Walton. http://www.mninter.net/~blkeagle/newindex.htm He usually has the answer on an issue like this one that stirs up quite a bit of discussion. Here is his link: http://www.mninter.net/~blkeagle/camo.htm As for myself, I was raised in the BSA during the time of the 60's to the 80's of what I'm finding out is being referred to as "Old School Scouting" by many nowadays. We wore q

I've done 6 Eagle ceremonies within the past year, and each time our Troop has given the scout an Eagle bolo tie. I've followed old traditions that my scoutmaster had done for us that graduated in the '70s and '80s. He would normally give out lanyards, 4 blade scout knives or walking sticks. I started doing decorative knots after I got out of my WoodBadge session last year because I was so frustrated with not being able to tie turks head knots and other knots like so many other folks around me. So....fast forward a few months and I began tying all sorts of fancy knots and developed

Nah...Never noticed. (He says as he wipes powder burns and smoke off face and arms with wall singed behind him.) Thanks, Bro. I'll keep that in mind. The "Beav" m`˚()˚m~# SR-831 & soon SR-948

Do any of you that have been Wood Badge Troop Guides have any tips for us "newbie" guides that will soon be Staffers/Troop Guides? We'll be doing (2) Three day sessions in March.

Beaver Patrol. I just received my beads in a patrol beading ceremony on the council level on July 31st. Just Tuesday of this week our troop had a court of honor and I had my fellow Wood Badgers present it to me again so that my troop could see what their scoutmaster had done. ---The "Beav".......m`˚()˚m~# ======================= ............................SR-831 Soon to be Staffer for SR-948. We had a Good Ol' Raven for our Scoutmaster, but he passed away about a month and half before SR-831 cranked up. We all miss him very dearly. We honored him by giving his s
