What we from the Scout leaders in our area is KNOTS,KNOTS,KNOTS

I checked out fast start and your wright. I was at training yesterday They knew nothing of the changes to the tiger program. I would hope a new book is aviabile if the would enclude these changes in fast start, but I see no mention of it on line. at Scout stuff. I think they must likely have the cart before the horse.

I'm a Petro. Service Tech. (I fix Gas Pumps @ service stations) in Western PA. Also a New Cubmaster in Greenville, PA

mdkeplers I found a link on www.usscouts.org under wearing religious emblems. If Rel. emblem is earned as a cub it maybe worn on boy scout uniform, but you must also wear the gold cub scout device on the knot (#5103C) or if earned as a webelo (# 5103K) Just type (wearing knots) in search block. Print this out and send it to the next meeting with your boy. P.S. stop by the scout shop and get him the pin First. Let us what his S.P.L. has to say.

I thought that the AOL knot could only be worn on leaders uniform. Scouts wear the AOL badge under pocket.

Like it or not guys the writing is in the wall. The new Lion Program is co-ed for K-aged kids At 14 girls can join vent. program. Guess whats next. I have a 61/2 year old Tiger & & a 3 year old Girl. I say bring it on. I do not think I would look good in a smock. Honesty I like the Cub program in my area better than the GSA Program. I do not like going 1/2 way if you are going to let Girls be in vent. there should be a cub aged program too!!!! ps. around here girls play L.L. with the boys. Most of them can hit better too.

Guys, stop talking about them or they might bring them back. I went through it, I would hate to see my son go througt it too.

Thanks guys I did find out on the OA web site, need to be a member of the Lodge in the council in which you are reg. I have contacted my old council to get my records.

If you go by the latest uniform Insp. form it shows the patrol badge under the flag on rt. sholder. I would say this means you could have the Webelos pick a patrol name.

May be some one can anwser my ?. I'm back in scouting after 15 years. I'm Cubmaster of my sons pack.I was a boy scout 1 council to the south of were I live now. Do I have to transfer or can I remain a OA member were I was.

These knot req. need some work. Tiger knot For exp. our former District Exc. found the need to have 6 packs in a small town pop. aprrox. 5,000 people. This makes it very tuff to get 5 tigers during req. The fact is that he looked better because he had more units under him, no matter what the size of each unit was.

Brantshore, Your not alone, our pack is about the same size as yours. Our C.C. is about to step down (Thank God).We just had our blue & gold it was not the boys I had to talk over it was her. She is more worried about how much $$ is in her kids account than any thing else Our C.O.R. forgot that we were having a blue & gold Not to forget the Old women at the church ( our C.O.) are plain mean. It been so many years since they were kids I think they have forgot what Its like. So we were forced to have our blue & gold in the basment. We may be having the opp. to

Here is the way I see it when a girl is 14 She can join the vent. program. What is the harm in having then in a cub program.Then if the boys do not want to go camping with "girls" when they get older, they can stay in boy scouts

If look at web sites of scouting suppiers. I have seen name bars which go above the BSA strip on uniform.

I wish we had your problems there are so many packs in my town were luckey to have 10 boys. The town has Pop. Of about 5,ooo & we have 5 or 6 packs in town.

Ozemu you hit the nail on the head. good point

Scoutnut, I was not kidding they camped right there beside the fountin, in the center of the mall. Later, Woody01

Sniffels, By no means did I mean the all girl scouts camp in malls, But hers did, and I remember see was none to happy. I do not think this will happen,I just thought it would make an interesting topic. Later Woody01

I was leaning more toward a co-ed cub program. At 14 the girls can be in the vent. program. My sister was a girl scout growing up with 3 older brothers in scouts.She was alot tuffer than the other girls.With both parehts as leaders she spend a lot of time camping with our troop. She was not fond of "camping in the local mall.

as with most council web sites just because it not on the site does not meen it's not happening.

In reading some International posts on the net I think our friends Down under have got an interesting program with girls & Boys together. With a lot of the adult leaders in our cub program being female. I went to training classes this past fall 75% of the leaders there were female.This training was both Boy Scout and Cub Scout. I just thought this would make a interesting topic. What do you think about it.

My brother is in Moranie Trails his boy is in the Lion program. they were working on electives in the tiger book.They are having a blast and it is working out well. My son & I are it the next council north(French Creek).I think a couple of our packs are trying the program,Ihave not heard how they are doing

Come on people these kids are in the same meeting what 1 time a month for a pack meeting, With a room full of leaders and parents. Other than that they are going to be with a group there own age. Like tigers at lease in our area they will go to day camp. Not res. camp. Like tigers the boys will attend W/an adult partner. So how could you call this baby sitting. What is differance between going to a pack meeting or event W/ 5th graders and riding the same bus with them everday. (With 1 Adult present the bus driver) Like I said earlier Some times I wish the old

Sorry about my spelling.

These boys being 5 do not bother me in my area kids in kindergarden go to school all day just like 1st graders,They ride the bus with kids K-grade 5. Girl scouts have been including K-age kids for years.As hard as it may be boys are no harder to control than girls. I have both my self.If you keep them busy they will be fine they have to learn some time.Honestly my Tigers are the best behaved den in the whole pack. so i do not think age is a issue.
