  1. Bottom line I am in scouting because my son wants to be a Boy Scout. He has a short term goal for eagle and then military either enlisted or ROTC. (grantd he is 12 but he hasnt deviated and the choices he makes all go in that direction.). If i exposed him to BPSA or traillife he would say. OK how does this help me make my goal ?
  2. Time I do a lot supporting my son and troop . Committee member and adult leader at meeting and camps I fall into CM /ASM my daughter is in Girl Scouts as well mom takes care of that
  3. As stated in another thread I am pretty aquatic and I used to hate all these silly rules about water safety. Then I became a bsa guard I know fully understand why these rules are in place and why they are needed. If you want a sample have one of your older scouts act as a victim and try to swim them in. It is fracking hard and in a situation you may not have personnel available for a rescue swim. Btw I used to be station in Pearl Harbor the tides aren't bad. As compared to here in New England but rip current can appear anytime in the waters you describe particularly after a rain with
  4. We do need a uniform.. I am in favor of a more military uniform and more stringent standards I think of the class a as a dress uniform even though I have only had mine 9 months I don't like cooking ortending a fire in it. So I think a feild uniform is needed bdu in olive drab or dark tan.
  5. Do an episode of project runway and let a youth Eagle Scout be on the judging panel Ok you guys know my guilty show.
  6. @desertrat Fully concur have the bsa go to llbean bass pro shop. Pick out a good military outdoors outfit and say make this is in youth sizes.
  7. if you have scouts that want to do a tri ENCOURGE them. BUT.... If I had a scout that wanted to do a tri without the swimming merit badge i would encourage them to get the swimming merit badge done first.
  8. my 0.02 cents and background 1 Recently I became a BSA guard / aquatics instructor 2 Certified SCUBA 3 former competive swimmer in high school 4 currently sprint and olympic length triathlete The cited bullet is the last paragraph of 4. Sprint and most Olympic length swim course are 'closed circuit' i.e. the swimmer swim a loop and enter and exit at the same area. Since Boy scouts can do a MILE swim I am assuming that this means anything over a mile is Long-distance. this would include ITU (international triathlon union) 1/2 iron-man and iron man Sprint - ~=.5 m
  9. You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else. Winston Churchill It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. Sir Winston Churchill
  10. TL;DR summery A judge as ruled in favor of a prisonor that he has a right to have a humanist study group just the same as every other religion. effectively giving humanist the same rights as a church member. original source: http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/11/03/3587801/district-court-declares-secular-humanism-a-religion/ So now a scout says he is a humanist what does this mean for BSA?
  11. Plus also the BSA is shiponing of girls from GSUSA as well.
  12. Can you site a "special right" that a homosexual has over anyone else? How is excluding those that you disagree with diversity? You have seem to have a very broad brush as to what a liberal is. from what i read from you it is anyone who disagrees with your point of view. The Boy scouts is not a place for you to indoctrinate political views on our boys. Our job as scouters is to give them the knowledge to make educated decisions on their chosen political stance. and the courage to stand on those choices. I fail to see how being for LBGT couples marry
  13. Leave no trace is another way to ensure sustainability. but when i tell the kids that the POR needs 16 hours of class work all of the sudden hands go down.
