King Ding Dong

Take a nap

Or one vote on the EBOR? Of course there is then an appeal process. I guess the point I am pondering is who should determine if a Scout is an Eagle? The Adults or the Scouts?

And all those beautiful lawns are for looking at. Get off my lawn!

I like that. Just to stir up the pot. How about adding an Eagle requirement? Maybe something like a vote of 50% of the troop?

Eagle should be? National Outdoor Award. Unfortunately to the lawyer and Doctor parents in my old troop meant their son was Finished with Scouts.

Just be be clear I was talking about wrapping the tube of ointment not.....

Also note sometimes even men can get a bit a yeast infection in the groin area in humid weather. A tube of generic "monostat" cream is always in my toiletries kit. Just apply at night. Wrap it in duct tape for a more manly look.

Volume, volume, volume. You haven't seen my waistline.

Congrats! Although there is no rule he learn the new requirements, as a leader of the younger Scouts who do have to pass them, he might want to learn them as he is expected to teach those skills.

Why doesn't GSUSA accept boys? Because they don't want to and boys don't want to join GSUSA (though a smart boy would consider such an endevour). The GSUSA is not banging on the doors in Irving pleading to be let in. Believe me that will never happen. Why does this topic keep coming up here and elsewhere? It is becuase BSA has done an excellent job of marketing Eagle and a crummy job on Popcorn and GSUSA has done brilliant job marketing Cookies and a crummy job on everthing else. IMO, the real reason parents want their daughters in BSA is they know GSUSA has screwed up all the

If Mike Rowe was the MBC he would have them checking out the strata under an old kybo.

Also they were reportedly regional and Dong Dongs were called Ring Dings or something like that due to licensing issues. What I remember from the commercials was a character shooting a Ding Dong with a sling shot into the mouth of another character to shut them up. Hence why I always tried to eat them whole and also may explain my shrinking uniform.

Probably all the "mature" knowledge that you suddenly acquire at 18 that 15-17 year olds know nothing about.

Like Devices? national would certainly go for that, they love devices. Devices suck.

You forgot the snow.

Are you currently the Scoutmaster or about to be? The SPL is not supposed to be a member of a patrol, so what does he do on these campouts?

I have not looked at the finished product of the new program but when looking at the final draft last year and doing some math it sure looked to me like it would take a nearly a whole 9 months at 3 den meeting per month to get through it. Wish I could be more help but my youngest just crossed over under the old program. In my opinion 3 den meetings and one pack a month is a little much for Tigers and most parents. Shouldn't be, but that's just the world we live in. Have you taken training on the new program? If not try to squeeze it in as it is usually only a couple of evenings

@@SSScout I have seen the same thing done with a yard stick. Emails to parents Do.Not.Work, don't even bother. As suggested you need to know something about the parents and then ask them for their help in a specific thing, in person. One dad never replied to a email, but once I talked to him and found out he was a HS chemistry teacher I asked if he could arrange to bring the den into the school lab for a the Scientist Activity. Once he said yes I had him and he pretty much took ownership of it. One mom was a nurse, asked for some help with Readyman. Once she was involved she

What age do camps typically start accepting CIT candidates? .

Doc says my A1C is a little to close for comfort so no more treats for me. Cholesterol is bad, liver enzymes not good, testosterone in the tank. Meat and veggies is all I can have for now with an occasional glass of wine. Been on the straight and narrow for about a month now. Thought I would be much grumpier. Thinking about requesting a medically induced coma for a month once December rolls around.

We shall see, but to my understanding many of them happen at summer camp. Hehe. I suppose past observation may play a role. He makes it very clear from the git go that once those shoes hit the asphalt in the parking lot he is in charge and you are no longer Dad. I must say I was very impressed on the last outing. My oldest was sick and my crossover did not want to go and was pain the whole weekend, plopping down multiple times and refusing to budge. He let his SPL handle him the whole time and he performed admirably. Saturday night dinner I asked the SPL how he was holding up

Hopefully you were able to burn through another $300 in ammo to double your salary.

Once you hit Webelos it was the DL who signed off, no more Mom. (At least under the old program). IMO it is the SM's show and he makes those rules. If you don't like it, get him replaced or move on. In my new troop the rule is 2 ranks above to sign off. Now my "Scout that holds the rank of Star" is nowhere near the level of these other boys so I am in complete agreement with the SM that he needs to pass a retest of T and 2nd before he can touch a book. Not his fault he was in a once and done troop and most importantly he agrees he has some catching up to do.

IIRC Kudo would only camp 3 miles or so from the parking lot.

Chauncey Chocodile as well.
