My patrol got the idea right from the start ( eagle eyed bunch we are) What was tough was convincing "our side" the real purpose in the game.

same with merit badge couselors, no news is bad news, they do not tell you if there is a problem, they'll keep any fees, of course

@@Sentinel947 and @@baggss, under uniforming, did they mention the latest insignia guide revision which now allows the neckerchief to be worn without the field uniform? The official syllabus has not been revised, yet, but maybe your instructors were willing to go off script!
Just curious ...

What can I expect going to WB as a crew advisor?

If he is 1st class and 14, join a venture crew, he can still work on rank. and for the most part, crews just go with the flow.

follow any other active scout groups in your area, State DNR, trail hiking association, scouting magazine, whatever interests your scouts

To paraphrase Mel Brooks
"It's good to be the SM, CC, Senior Committee member, etc. son"
When all their requirements for advancement are signed off their SM conference and BOR happen immediatly, others, 1-2 months later.
Its always good to be related to the powers that be, and the youth know it.

Training chair? isn't that what they strap new volunteers into until they go away?

how about something like the campco safari vest as an option, useful long after they age out

Get rid of the inbred training offered by districts.. trained by trainers trained by instructers who sat in a class ect. get " guest" trainers from sucessfull troops outside district.

Whats a thank you letter? is it like a "Thanks for not *effing it up, lets do better next time." letter? or is it the "thank you for volunteering, next time just send money" letter

Woodbadge isn't for everyone. I have friends who I respect who loved it. I was very frustrated by it. I felt that the substance of it was OK' date=' especially if you haven't been to a lot of leadership and training seminars, but there was, in my opinion, a lot of time wasted on fluff that was more related to joining a fraternal order -- silly songs, marching, legends about its origins, and some head games with "surprises" designed to keep you guessing about what came next. Find someone who knows you who has gone and will be able to judge whether you as an individual will really enjoy it. I have told some people I think they'd be OK with it, and I've warned others that I think they'd go as crazy as I did.[/quote'] How does WB relate to venturing? patrols? (none in crews) Which uniform? . if i wore our "official" crew uniform I'd stick out like I had two heads.

BUT!.... if you had all week' date=' you could probably actually finish the MB's ... on-site even. It's a bit of a stretch, but I think it can be done. Just bring a fake fire with the lightbulb in it, have the boys sit around and sing songs after 8 hours of sitting in a chair studying Citizenship. Sounds like a wonderful opportunity for the boys. If this catches on, the 1 Day MB Colleges would become obsolete and the boys could get to Eagle 5 times faster. Just think of the possibilities. This way the boys can earn Eagle while being a Boy Scout, that is before they are forced to go into Venturing at age 14. Stosh[/quote'] they go into venturing at 14 because regular scouting has become an extension of school, the ideals pitched to them when they were cubs and webelos have come to naught.
