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 go back to the fire hall

were our pack was before.I think we are going to go.

Also I think our council is the most disorganized

one around our scout shop has nothing in stock.

We are getting our awards from the next council south.

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.

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.

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 older boys were as well

behaved as the tigers are in our pack.

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.
