The Boys will elect him to something as the kid really is a leader, sometimes good, sometimes to Hades in a handbasket. Once the kid took Scouts into his family's van( his father drove to the camping trip) and showed fellow Scouts xrated movies on the tv mounted in the van. We found out much too late to kill the boy. Niell, I'm not going to corner the boy like a 6 year old. "If you old enough to make the poop sandwich , you are old enough to eat it" If you are man that is. If you need to be treated like a 6 year old, I won't teach you how to use a pocket knife let alone award y

Momma, He has not replied to the emails and he mumbled something undecipherable to the friend's parent/comm member. I really appreciate all the comments. I guess I wonder why this 17 1/2 year old can't "man up". We have had 17 year olds murder people, win the Medal Of Honor on Iwo Jima, run a family farm, father children, earn a million thru running a business. Many things, from good to bad to worse and everything in between. Yet this one kid can't say, "Mr. Guggenheim, what I did was wrong. I know that now. I was wrong to blame this whole thing you. I will work to patch

Momma, Two emails and one face to face meeting with the boy have taken place since the BOR. Thank you all for your opinions

UPDATE 10 or 11 days later "Smitty" has not yet apoligized to the SM. Now what would you do? The pink advancement sheet has not been handed in. Mind you, the BOR could not have said,"Let's look at this again in 2 months. That perogative was off the table because the boy waited so long.

WOw it's things like that that'll keep you going. They would let my first class 13 1/2 year old attend NYLT. You must be 14. Some 18 year olds act 9. Some 13 year old are Eagles. A hard and fast number is a stupid thing. They don't know the boy. Would his SM approve of him at NYLT, that shold be a factor. The boy has been a DC for 14 months. What grades does he get in school. Is he mature? What kind of camper is he? Wants to be a PL this year and would have benefitted greatly from the traing now he will not have it. If I could have only gotten his mom pre

Isn't duty to the Queen more like duty to the nation as a whole with the Queen being the symbol of that nation? If you don't like the Queen move to America!

Star Scout "smith" realizes he has not advanced in the last 3 years as a star. His 18th b-day is 12-27-08. Friday, I get a call asking if we can convene a BOR for Star Scout Smith. Mind you it is 27 June. His SMC will be the same night. Boy tells Dad, "I asked Mr. Guggenhiemer if I could have my SMC a couple of times and he has not gotten back to me." Dad then takes up for the boy and calls Comm members and asks about BOR. The SM is angry. Seems smitty was LYING about asking for the SMC. He never asked for the SMC. Dad is angry , being duped by his angel.

I have personally told two boys, "in good faith to all the other boys in scouting ,if I sit on your board of review I can tell you that you will not get voted to pass that board because I have not seen you Scribe (or ASPL) at all." Me: What have you done as the Scribe? Scout: I helped Mr. Rodgers with the sign ups in September. And a couple of other things(it's now August) Me: about how many hours did that take you? Scout "6 hours" About now he sees the light. Both good kids. Both are "jocks" more than they are Scouts. Nobody had ever done that before in our unit.

Merlyn and his ilk don't need to destroy Scouting. The Leaders that killed this kids are doing a fine job. TOTALLY INACCEPTABLE. The kid was 11 years old. I pray for his parents, family and friends

The Land of Israel, known in Hebrew as Eretz Yisrael, has been sacred to the Jewish people since the time of the biblical patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Scholars have placed this period in the early 2nd millennium BCE.[22] According to the Torah, the Land of Israel was promised to the Jews, by God, as their homeland,[23][24] and the sites holiest to Judaism are located there. I bet the Palestinians hope this Atheist Jew thing takes off and expands. Then God will not have given the land to them. The Jews that don't think there is a God, are they working hard t

Yes, I was being a horse's fanny. Sometimes I pet strange dogs and run with scissors. You seem to be more focused on the nationality of being Jewish not the faith for your argument. I am sure there are folks who would say you are really not a Jew if you do not think there is a God. Just as many Catholics say you cannot be Catholic and "pro-choice" about abortion. Woody and Albert can say anything. One was arguably the brightest guy that ever lived the other guy looks like a lunch money victim, and can make us laugh but neither was sought after for guidance about God. I have p

This just proves the liberal, Communist Agenda is working.

Wow, thanks. If it's good enough for Woody Allen, it's good enough for me!!!!! Moses all your efforts were for nothing. Sure makes all those Jews and Arabs fighting look foolish. The prophet Woody has spoken.

I'm one of them folks that cling to God and my guns. I think Jesus was fathered by the Holy Spirit. Merlyn on 5/11 you wrote that Jews can be atheists. How does that square with Old Testament teachings?

Trotting out the old thread because I'm sure there are units out there that don't know about this recognition for their members of the Troop from all wars since Scouting was born. Take time out from the weekend to remember them

So many people did the 60's up right that it caused many of the problems we have today.

I love how Scouting organizations hire some Million do$$ar marketing firm to change the image. Put the effort into making the program fun and safe and the girls that are in the program, girls that enjoy the program, will do all the marketing you need. My daughter was in it for 13 years, k-12. Went to the Allagash in Maine. Great organization.

Wow! Mike hit the nail on the head!!

You simply cannot be a FELON and lead. He violated the Mann Act. Though not many get convicted. He was a "hippo-crit". John in KC and Gunny I respect your service. This SNCO doubts his leadership ability after jailing all those who ran prostitution rings. He bullied people into pleading guilty. I live about 20 minutes from the Capital of NY. We don't do much right in NY politics but at least we got rid of this guy. I was waiting for wifey to set the example for her 3 girls by canning this jerk. At least he can't give invaders/illegals a drivers license now. The

At 99 cents a pound corned beef can't be too impressive. The Fruit juice seems like a good fit. I will try it in advance. Thank you.

GW, I took my 18 year old daughter to Fenway Park last summer, as a joke I was going to buy her an O'Doules, the beer vendor said it was against Mass. law. I don't know why but didn't argue Thank you all for the responses

I've got a great Corned Beef recipie that I would like to use in a D.O. on a camping trip for the Rocking Chair gang Well I'm not going to bring two cans of beer on a campout. By skipping the beer what will be left out? What does beer/ alcohol do to meat in a simmering pot? I doubt I'll be able to tell.
