I get a little sick of hearing the "well... you carry a rifle" argument. Less than 1% are ever going to carry a rifle. The argument doesn't hold water and I resent the fact that the other 99% are making an argument off the service of others. Having carried a rifle at 18 and 2 months I don't want my son to do it and he can darn sure wait until he is 21 for a lot of things. What billet do these people fill in a pack or Troop? I would think the person would have to be exceptional to do this at less than 25. Are they leading a den of boys, directing a part of a camp. They may hav

Fair winds and following seas Mary. She was one in a million. My favorite was the Greenland Whale Fisheries song "then the boat capsized and I lost my darling man, No more no more Greenland For you Brave Boys" Also very partial to "take me for a ride in a Car , Car"

Nick, Have you had a chance to eat more than hot dogs and Ramen? We made 6 apple pies this weekend for 47 people(joint Webelos and Troop camping trip) and had enough left over for some for breakfast.

If a Scout cannot part with his cell phone for one hour a week and other activities then he needs help. Exceptions like: my grammie is in the hospital etc. are of course allowed. Most of that stuff is, "Did you hear what chuckie said to brittany in school today.

Gutter, Best of luck with this, I don't envy you. The boy would have a very hard time advancing at all in our Troop. We are also rude enough to tell each other when crap like this goes on that it is unacceptable. Sounds like a topic for committee discussion. When his birthday comes does he just eat the frosting or the whole cake. I abhor selfishness!!!!!!!!

Wow thanks Beav!!!!!

I'll have to look up the article but I wonder if it is written by the hateful little wench who spoke about her 3 yr old humping over glaciers in Alaska. Backpacker magazine has a book that talks about ditching around your tent in the 1960 version of the Scout Handbook. Backpacker does not say what the publishers of the same book were discharging into rivers in the 1960's. Must have been some other society that allowed the Cayahoga River to be polluted and catch fire. The Hudson was to be a condemned open sewer in those days. The authors diaper may have been emptied into a river but now they ar

I would agree this is allowable policy Eagle 1987 --are you in the right thread? Nobody here is endorsing a YP voilation. Please re-read the original comment. YP has nothing to do with this.

The sticker, which is also made in Communist China, cost about 1 cent the Merit badge probably costs 20 cents. Both are made by people making $2.50 each week and they live good; In a barracks style dorm and they send money home. A company I know sub-contracts with a cast iron foundry there. The workers pour molten cast iron while wearing sandals and a regular holey shirt. The roof has a huge hole in it. No safety gear at all. I think the country of origin law has been around since the 1920's.

Until National comes out with more specific guidance we are all just left to arguing this situation. I have the same deal with a kid that did his Firefighter 1 certification. Would he have been a firefighter is he missed 4 months of classes? Why do we allow him to earn Eagle when his participation is bad. He earned it but only because there is no better National standard. I sat on the BOR and felt that I saved a lot of time with appeals. The kid's mother was so self righteous she would not have quit. HEY NATIONAL UP THE STANDARD AND THE BOYS WILL ADHERE TO IT!!!!!! back

Please let us know which ones you try and how they are and what you learned. There are a million recipes in the world but very few with "camping style" feedback.

So Gern if you were the "boss" what would the uniform look like?

"Trainwreck" Jumbled mass of tangled up stuff Polish Trainwreck In a Dutch oven place layers like so Top Kielbasa Cabbage(quartered) Onions Potatoes Bottom Add two cups of water and cook for 40-50 minutes. The Kielbasa drips down into the other stuff and yummm!!! We took this from a Forest Service book and renamed it. The Book was "Camp Cooking 100 years Gibbs Smith Publisher---worth every penny. It calls for Corn on the Cob but we don't have a really deep oven. they claim they got the method from seashore cookouts. I have had potatoes, lobster, shrimp and cl

To Summer camp, and camporees. Full uniform. To Merit Badge events full uniform. To camping trips no. Class B or whatever for that.

I agree with all replies especially Mafaking. Eagle, for me it is gold bond medicated powder

X, There is not a Woodbadger alive that will EVER forget that game. Mention win all you can to anybody that has played they are not going to forget the lesson or the moral. I just think you should reserve the details for those going to the course, there's no secrets but we had one person in my Patrol that talked about a lot of phases of the course. I don't wsnt to know how the movie ends while I'm watching it. Titanic is and exception also and WW2 movie. I know Hitler dies in the end.

This kid looks like he's is going to take my order at Burger King http://www.scoutshops.com/acatalog/scouts-uniform.html Heck Baden your namesake wore ribbons with his uniform. I agrree I'm not wearing "Class A's to the next canoe trip. Those British prices ain't exactly cheap when you do the conversion to dollars and don't forget about the VAT(I am not sure it applies). Ours are still more expensive. Adel, what do you mean by "tactical". I've been tactical in Beirut and Kuwait, there ain't a darn thing that is cool about it. With all the weight I carried and s

I thought the game was valid given the context of the WB course. I don't believe there will ever be world peace though it is something to strive for. The game does bring out emotions and is symbolic in it's teaching. Google Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal". I think he had a point to make I think the game does too. I wish you had not divulged the entire game here because I think it has worth and you have basically ruined the value to those heading for the course. As a commissioned sales rep I have a very stressful job that I feel is one of the last bastions of capit

So J what would your uniform look like? I agree with tee shirts but I'd like something a little nicer for COH and helping people in the public eye. What would we march in parades with? Let's look at what the Marine Corps does, they know a bit about uniforms. First you have Utilities, camo uniform used for getting dirty. Mechanics wear coveralls to fix hummers, Amtracks and helos. So thats your "Class B". For anyone in "combat arms" this is what they wear every day, except for more formal occasions. For more formal occasions we have "Service". The summer service "C" unifo

I hate when units say this is "an unofficial activity". You can't obey half the rules What they should say is, "Insurance is not covering this and the organizers are personally liable, you, "yourself" are on your own." My daughter wants to go to law school but the profession and the current American mindset on liability needs to change. The thought of winning LOTTERY type settlements has to go away. We have had one Patrol camping trip in our Troop in recent memeory. Three kids went and three came back and they had a great time. No attorneys needed for that outing. Pro

Our Troop stayed at Greenbelt in Maryland. Google it. There is even a Scout area or there was two years ago. Air and Space is a must. Tuesday evening Parade at the Marine Corps War Memorial(the Iwo Jima Monument). The postal Museum is kind of cool. good luck
