  2. Scoutfish would you have gone on the two to three day campouts if you could not smoke for the duration?
  3. Smoking in front of the boys is certainly unacceptable! Anything that negatively affects the boys should be regulated and banned! Fat, overweight, out of shape adults should not be allowed around the boys under any circumstance. The Scouts may get the idea that it is acceptable to be fat, overweight, and out of shape. Ok we have gotten rid of the smokers and the fat people what is next on the agenda!!!

  5. Absolutely GREAT!!! Solved my troubles! Ebay...would never have thought to look there! Thanks y'all are great!
  6. OK Thanks! Let me be a little clearer! They may have mailed us one, BUT my Scout can not find his. Participants could order additional emblems at the Jamorbee section of ScoutStuff. ScoutStuff is closed for Jamboree items now. I would like to acquire two to put on his uniforms to go to Jamboree. I guess the question here is: Did anyone order extra Jamboree Emblems from ScoutStuff (prior to closing) that could sell us one or two? Thanks again for all your input.
  7. We received the shoulder patches and the little ring to go around the Scout Emblem, but I do not think we received the Emblem itself. Scout Stuff is closed, so that is why I posted it here inquiring if someone had ordered extra and was willing to part with one or two. Thanks
  8. Thought that I had all the necessary patches, #s and emblems for our Scout's Jamboree uniform...BUT I do not have the OFFICAL 2010 JAMBOREE PARTICIPANT EMBLEM that goes over the right pocket. Does anyone have an extra one (I need two total)?????? Please PM me or just post if you do! Thanks!!!!!
  9. I visited with my scout about spending monday, the braclet, and the debit card options. He did not want anything to do with the braclet. Said he would use it too often and would not know how much money he was spending. He thought that $50 on a debit card and $50 in cash would be sufficient. I think I may stash a $20 in his bag somewhere as a surprise/bonus (it is a Mom thing!!!!). If he looses the card and/or cash he will go without! A boy that is old enough to go to Jamboree should be old enough to keep up with his own money and to make decisions how he wants to handle it!
  10. "Posted by Engineer61 "Yeh know, I'm not sure priorities are always that cut-and-dried, eh? " Yes...they are! Priorities are absolutely cut and dried. Yes...I have canceled vacations over long weekends because of school commitments...and work commitments. That's why I don't bother to make those kinds of plans anymore. I've even sent the rest of the family on the fun outing and stayed to make my work commitments. Fun is a want....not a need. Scouting is a want...not a need. Yes...it was a big hit on his grade for the quarter...one letter grade...I am more concerned ab

  12. In business when sales are down it is time to increase the advertising budget!!!! I hope that the BSA knows the demographics of their prospective (most likely to join) membership base! Also, the demographics of the people that generally are NASCAR fans! By doing the proper analysis the "bang for your buck" can grow!!! It is definitely a great looking car and I am sure that most boys would be impressed! Connecting the car to joining, or staying in, Boy Scouts I don't know, but then again I am not an advertising executive!!!!
  13. Doesn't anyone else find these statements to be troubling? "Why on earth would a troop, boy scouts or girl scouts subject their kids to an environment such as the one basement mentions? Again, I wouldn't allow it in a million years, that is, the kids in my charge being subject to that environment and calling it Scouting. Kids should be out starting campfires with flint and steel, catching, cleaning, and eating a trout, making rope bridges and towers, shooting arrows, canoeing, and all that good stuff. They will see the seedy side of life soon enough and if they go to college, they'll b

  15. Quite often "new" or "uninvolved" parents would like to do something to help, but feel slightly intimidated or left out. A way to draw them in is to partner two of them up. Example can the two of your coordinate and bring a cooler and ice? Then hand each of them a piece of paper and pen and suggest, "why don't y'all exchange information and we will see you both at 8am Saturday"

  18. Were you and the SM not at the Committee meeting? If I amnot mistaken it would have been up to the SM to set the calander and inform the Committee that the calander would stand as decided.
  19. I would expect a 5th grader to be capable of walking to the end of the driveway to get on the school bus!

  21. We have several adult leaders who are overweight. We are thinking about asking them to step down and not attend any more meetings or campouts. How should we approach them? I think that is it a bad example and if the scouts see that they are overweight then they will think it is Ok and will begin to overeat so that they can emulate their leaders.
  22. Cooking challenge! Have the SPL buy the same food ingredients for each patrol. Each patrol then prepares a meal with the those ingredients only. Leaders do the judging!!!!
  23. ScoutMomSD I am sorry to hear that you are so very distressed over the possibility that Proposition 8 will pass in California and ban same sex marriages! It is my understanding that you would not mind your son having an openly gay SM but do not want leaders without children in the troop to be there. A scout that will never be allowed to go on a campout without his parents being present is really CREEPY! In addition, I am just thanking the dear lord that you are not a parent in our troop! Judging Others An elephant asked a camel, "Why are your breasts on your back?"
  24. I have seen the new shirts with the pockets tacked down around the edges so that they do not stick out! Also an USA flag over the plastic thing! Don't think either of these would be against BSA policy. Don't know why they have the tech slit!!!!
  25. The KSC group makes software for Girl Scouts! Easy to use and very inexpensive. Link: www.kscgroup.com/products/gscoutmate.html
