Pretty sure that when accommodations are necessary it's the council that sets them upon request/review, not the individual counselor.

I enjoy the Boys' Life archive to no end, and it never fails to turn up a laugh whenever I visit. Today's? From the state-by-state news in Pennsylvania: "Boys Stop Smoking Edward G. Jenkins, Scout Master of troop No. 11, Honesdale, Pa, Boy Scouts of America,* is highly pleased with the work his 20 Boy Scouts have done in the last four or five months . . . 'If,' writes Jenkins, 'I say that the boys in short time have developed far beyond my expectations and that I am as proud of them as any mother could be, am I not telling you enough of what my boys are doing constantly and the great int

I said that based on your posts about drugs for all I know you were stoned when you were dumb posting. But then I figured that was a low blow and you're generally just a funny guy, so I edited like a nice scout, but if you want it you've got it. (I love the "Scout Law" kindergarten comments sometimes, I'm tickled that a guy who thinks drug use on scout trips is no big deal speaking in a thread where people are advocating scouts marching beside half-naked BDSM fetishists wants to try to call me out on scout anything)

Be dumb if you want, KDD.

I read a comment by Mike Walton on Bryan's blog once where Mike said that there's no database. Apparently NESA has big books, and if you want to find a name you're welcome to come look through the books. If Mike lurks maybe he can elaborate, but I don't think he uses this forum. Anyway, it's not in national's interest to make an easily accessible list, you get some turd with an axe to grind and all of a sudden here's a list of 50 Eagle Scouts who are felons. There's already an Amazon list of books to that effect http://www.amazon.com/Boy-Scouts-Gone-Bad/lm/37WH3HKAM7XH2

Built by incompetent counselors who were inspired and refreshed to incompetency by working with past staff close to their own age.

It's a useless position.

Like I said, I'm not interested in insulting anyone's projects in particular or Eagle projects in general. Just expressing my opinion. If you need to insult everyone else's projects to feel good about your son's go right ahead. Duckfoot, maybe what we need is more Eagles to spend $3000 to deliver their park benches to third world locales.

Yeah, exactly. I also wonder how much "leadership" is involved in getting on a plane and dropping off 50 nets and candy. I'm not denigrating this project in particular or this Eagle in particular, I just think that while international projects in general are a neat way to do good, and are good PR, they miss the mark for an Eagle project. A flight from my city on the East coast to Lagos, Nigeria in September is $1,500

Nope. In this specific case, the boy's project was with a NGO. So it didn't benefit any religious institution, or any school, nor did it benefit his community.

Hopefully when fred has a heart attack the closest scout got his MB from a counselor who met the requirements rather than, like, the experience, man.

Projects like these are cool, and great PR, but they don't benefit "your" community.

Indeed, accepting homosexuality as normal means accepting the nastiness on full display at the parades. These people know exactly what a gay pride parade looks like and they think of things like father-son sex roleplay as "diversity" not the perversion that it is. Accepting homosexuality as normal means foregoing any moral stance on the most depraved sex acts because the most depraved sex acts are part of homosexual culture, which they see as no different than a guy dressed like a leprechaun at a St Patrick's Day parade. If a daddy leading a twink around on a leash is normal then of course t

Scouts riding in my car will listen to David Bowie, Joy Division, Queen, Bauhaus, and various New Wave, and they will like it Seriously, I've had boys choose my car over the cars with DVD players bc of the music.

Are you actually registered yet? Plenty of dads find out the hard way that Philmont is not a father-son vacation and contingents dole out spots to youth first accordingly.

Yep, a female (not a lady) I didn't really know took extreme offense that I dared call her, get this . . . . . . . "Mrs. Lastname" How dare I? I explained where I'm from misserus is good manners. Not good enough for her, not my problem.

It's the liberal way. http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/07/23/...obic-attitude/ Next stop Siberia. (with apologies to tsarists)

That's my favorite, Calico, anyone who thinks pervs shouldn't go down the road wearing leather thongs must be gay. I guess since I think SMs shouldn't shower with Scouts it must mean I really want to take showers with Scouts. But that's better than just going ahead and doing it.

I think the answer in the abstract is a fairly obvious N. O.

B-b-b-b-but citizenship! Only the supporters think its appropriate to use Tenderfoots as hostages in this debate.
