The Blancmange

While the OP may be correct that his example is dishonest on some level, in terms of severity, I would rank this right below jaywalking, sampling a grape in the produce section, and tearing the tag off a mattress.

Most likely closer to a car camping experience. Cub Camping (differentiated from Webelos den camping) is strictly family camping. There are guidelines (from BALOO training) which dictate the type of amenities that must be present, like toilets, showers, water, etc. As for your specific questions, many of those can only be answered by your pack leadership. Will they be using tents provided by the camp, the pack, or does each family need their own? Is each family responsible for providing its own food, or will there be cooking for the group? Your pack should provide this sort of infor

This is just mind boggling. I've commented before that when comparing and contrasting various BSA publications, it is as if they were written by different folks who have never spoken to one another. This passage confirms that impression: As it relates to social media, two-deep leadership means there should be no private messages and no one-on-one direct contact through email, Facebook messages, Twitter direct messaging, chats, instant messaging (Google Messenger, AIM, etc.), or other similar messaging features provided through social media sites. All communication between adults and yout

I once had the fabric compltetly come apart on a pair of BSA Cotton slacks that I had only worn twice since getting them hemmed. (like the poly/wools but cotton, they aren't made anymore), they insisted that I get the same pair. Interesting interpretation. Probably not a National-owned store. Here's what the Scoutstuff website says: You are the final judge of our products. If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with any item purchased from the Boy Scouts of America, you can either exchange the item for a replacement or receive a full and complete refund. No questions asked.

The 5th edition, the one with the Norman Rockwell Scoutmaster painting on the front, is also quite good, and is much easier to find. I agree. I found this edition, along with the Handbook for Patrol Leaders from the same era on AbeBooks.com , a used book website quite reasonably priced.

So BS-87, by his own admission, intentionally misrepresented the substance of the article. His statement: and yet it seems the Obama administration may move this slowly towards legislation After being confronted with the language in the article which states unequivocally that the administration does not support this becomes: The administration cannot politically support this VMT yet. How soon until an administration does though? Good to know.

What kind of soap, please? Ivory. A tip I picked up here a while back is that it is easier to carve when the bar is not fresh from the store. Buy a few and let them sit in the closet for a few months. I don't know, but I'm guessing there must be some moisture left in the bar from the manufacturing process.

Along this same line, what do you do if your CM doesn't want you to have the webelos out and about but rather be a baby-sitter for webelos, bears, and possibly the tigers and wolves as well? Based on the question, I'm assuming your Pack operates by having all of the den meetings at the same time, at the same place. This is one way to do it, and IMO, not the preferred way. The solution is simple: hold your den meetings at a different time and place. Send a note home that next week's den meeting is moved from the regular time to Saturday, and it will be held at the local nature center, where

The original poster asked a question that included a reference to a non-scouting abbreviation (it's not an acronym unless the letters themselves form an actual word) that might have several meanings. He/she gives very little information in the original post that might provide some contextual clues. Renax then complains when someone else points out this ambiguity goes as far as to suggest that Seattle Pioneer was at fault for not performing his own research on Google to try and decipher it. That, in my opinion, is the rudest comment in this thread. People post questions on this bo

Aren't Cubs a little young to need the prostate-specific antigen test?

I look forward to it, BS-87. At least it will be entertainin'. He'll come up with them. They will be quotes from Farrah, Corsi, and the rest of the World Net Daily crowd. That's where most of the earlier stuff comes from.

I wrote that to show how silly the left is for assigning the idea of 'fear' when people present cogent and reasonable opposing views. Views like this?: http://christwire.org/2010/05/is-obama-a-sleeper-agent-for-al-qaeda/ (This message has been edited by the blancmange)

Trump has taken credit for forcing the release, but I think it was Packsaddle's prescience in starting this topic last week that was the real driving force. The timing makes more sense.

A few ideas: 1. Get them outdoors: Hikes, Webelos den camping; small conservation projects. If you're not affiliated with a troop, find a neighboring one with a good outdoor program and get the boys camping with them. 2. Enlist the help of parents, friends, etc. with particular knowledge to help the boys with the various activity pins. Don't do them all yourself. For example, we had a local state rep. work with them on citizen, engineer for engineer (duh), paramedic for readyman, art professor for artist, etc. 3. Let them have some control. Pull out the list of activity pins

Does that mean CalicoPenn can never run for Cook County Board President?

However, there is a valid opinion that the 14th amendment brought about a third category of "native born" which only requires birth in the United States OR to an American citizen. This is truly a fringe belief. I'm reminded of a quote: One person with a fantastic view may be suspected of delusions; two people with the identical view are just oddballs. - Judge Frank Easterbrook in U.S. v. James, 328 F.3d 953 (7th Cir. 2003)

To sum it up, he's "native born", but not "natural born". This is the poster's view of what the law should be, not what it actually is. The 14th Amendment does not make this distinction, nor do any other relevant provisions of law. The only recognized categories are citizenship through birth (of which there are several sub-categories, two of which are being born on US Soil and being born to a citizen parent)and "naturalized" citizens who had to go through the naturalization process. Discussion of whether one or both parents of a child born in the U.S. are citizens is superfluous. Even a so-

This won't end anything. The theories will just get wackier.

The Blancmange- How do you pack in the margarine? this is one sugested backpacking meal plan Margarine is mostly vegetable oil, and does fine for a few days without refrigeration. On hot days, it will get quite soft, but it is not a food safety issue. Put a stick in plastic bag and keep it out of direct heat. Actually, looking at a package, it only says, "refrigerate for quality," which I assume means so it doesn't turn into a messy blob.

One would think asking for volunteers would produce a better result than assigning someone who has no interest.

This went over well with the scouts on a recent trip: Pasta parma rosa carbonara: 2 Packets Knorr brand Parma Rosa sauce mix powdered milk margarine Hormel brand Real Crumbled Bacon, precooked 4.3 oz package 1 pound of pasta, your choice. (Rotini works well) Start water boiling for pasta. Prepare the sauce as per package directions, using powdered milk. A stove capable of simmering, and a small whisk would be helpful. Prepare pasta as per package directions. Dump the package of precooked bacon into the sauce during the final minute. Drain pasta, add sauce with bacon.

That's a great idea. I'll sit down and add some locations when I have time.

The answer to your question is right in the rank requirement language: "Since joining, have participated in . . . "

All da violence? Did I miss a riot or insurrection somewhere? Does the woman know what da word "violence" means, I wonder? She didn't mean that to be a factual statement.
