  1. We use it from time to time ! If you can get the word out to everyone you can make some good money.
  2. We even have elections and they picked there PL and APL
  3. OH I thought they are suppose to be on the shelf the first part of January.
  4. Which is how I have my Webelos Dens setup, very little to no parent involvement. Matter of fact NONE of my boys parents are going on the Pack campout this weekend. I have me and my assistant (then the pack) I don't need no stinking parents getting in my way lol.
  5. I wanna hear more about this Egg Coffee!
  6. I have to agree with Krampus on this one. I guess I am a GenXer but I love my GPS on my IPhone via Google maps. This is NOT what I would use if I was hiking or anything outdoors, however we are talking about driving to one place via gps. Hands down great experience all the time.
  7. I did (current Webelos leader) and I bought them a patrol patch. I wanted them to do so much more but time has slipped away.
  8. I wonder who dropped the ball on this one. I went to my scout office to pick up my son's very first Boy Scout book (earning his AoL next month) and they didn't have any on the shelf and was back ordered until the 20th. Went to the website and same thing, backordered till the end of the month. Someone missed that projections huh lol
  9. I beg to differ! lol Son's moving up to the troop and I am remaining with the pack!
  10. In IT as well, atleast in some capacity. Not as much as I once was, Thank God
  11. I hate that TAHAWK, some I guess are fortunate to have larger councils yet small enough to maintain that sense of Brotherhood. I value my relationship with my execs and I would do anything I can to help them. DE's (my council specifically) are run ragged mainly because the size of each District. It is a job that I would GLADLY turn down if ever offered.
  12. That's what I thought, there is always misinformation out there. thanks
  13. But you can add a camp patch to the right shirt pocket as well correct? BSA calls it a Temporary Patch.
  14. Saw the Official site, thanks Qwazse- that was my thinking as well. I also have his slotted for Northern Tier and Philmont. So 2,000 is would be a good guess right ?
  15. That I did not know, That's Eagle for that information.
  16. Well then your DE's are unlike the DE's I deal with on a Weekly Basis. I don't only communicate with my specific DE but I am pretty close to a few others in the other Districts. We all have a mutual goal.
  17. Correct.. Even from 40 years ago, think of it as your Scouting Social Security number
  18. Your information is registered at the "Scout Office" and or your information is at Scouting.org where you did some of your online training. You can also keep up with all that information there once you put in your BSA number, all your training will be available.
  19. In the Past year we have lost 2 DE's as well as the Field Director. We have 5 Districts and at one point almost 2 DE's per District. I know we are volunteers and from time to time beat up on the professionals and there are times the volunteers make the DE's look good, we all know that. Scouting is not an 8 to 5 Job and some of the DE's believe that it is, scouting is 24/7 even for the volunteers. I know of 2 exceptional DE's and one just got bumped to the vacant Field Director position. Why don't you extend your Hand Krampus to yours. I understand not all Councils are great and they
  20. I know we had a scout (Memphis, area) go to Japan for World and it cost him over 6k, but that was to go to Japan.
  21. First I guess yea its 4 years away BUT still some have to save for 2 of those. So here is the beginning of the Thread WHO WHAT WHY WHERE WHEN The Who: Boy Scouts from All over the World The What: 2019 World Jamboree They Why: Because it occurs every 4 years, and its SCOUTING. Last time was 1967 The Where: @ Summit Bechtel The When: July 22nd-Aug 2nd of 2019 Guys I am so new to this because in two months my son will be crossing over from Cubs to Boy Scouts. Son's birthday is Mar 14 2005 and I have considered 2017 Jambo but I would like to wait till World where he wil
  22. Whether it was Black Friday or Cyber Monday I don't recall which one it was but REI had an offer for a complete ENO system for 120$. That included Straps Rain Fly Hammock Bug Net Carry Case Anyone that has looked into hammocks knows how much ea item is and knows just how much I saved. I was NOT going to buy such a system until I got it dirt cheap, in this case I WON! Now before I took the Hammock route I bought a hammock at Wal-Mart that essentially looked just like an Eno (minus all the accessories) just to see if I would enjoy it. Its an easy system if you are up and down throu
  23. I get this totally. We have a new Finance Ex and he is really pushing this on volunteers as well. He actually setup a meeting at our local camp at 6pm during a WORK WEEK? Seriously?
