Has anyone run this by their CO or COR already and what was that like?
My COR is one of my Leaders and a very active person in my CO. I have already put a word in that I would like to sit down with her and the IH before we start the 2017 fall recruitment just to be sure we are all on the same page.

I will tell you what I see. I am a CM and I go to my 3 schools during school hours and recruit. When I walk into the room in my uniform and start talking about cub scout I tend to see more attention from the girls than the boys. Sure there are boys highly interested but its the girls that sigh and say "ohh man"
I tell them what we do, where we go and what over opportunities there are. I wont change my spill.
When I mention Girl Scout to the girls that are really interested I hear the same story "its boring, all we do is sell cookies"

My crew is actively out recruiting and many of the girls we talk to that are interested in scouting are holding off joining until they can go in to Boy scouts.
I am finding out this process is dragging and dragging. I noticed on my BeAScout page the option of Boy or Boy/Girl and so when I approached the council about it ( I am a DC) they said they aren't activating any units yet. They are testing one and only one for now. I know in September when I go and do my recruiting for Cub Scouts I am going to have some bites from girls.

I just wonder if the lack of Venturing stuff means that it’s going away and the tech guys got the memo early.
What would give you the Idea Venturing is going away?

Ive used Kiwi spray on some of my larger tents. Great stuff. Let it sit up for a couple of days (garage) to air out before you store it back up

If the family took that option, would you require their scout (Webelos) to sleep with the family in the tent, or allow him to sleep with the other boys in the cabin? Obviously the "safest" option is that the scout sleeps w/ his parents, but if he slept in the Cabin, would this be much different than a Scout that's sleeping on the other side of the cabin from where his Mom (only parent) is sleeping?
My Webelos sleep with their buddy. Mom and Dad doesn't have to attend if they don't want to. #WebelosTransition

Wow that's interesting! Never knew that.

YES ScoutBook use to really only be Iphone friendly when it first came out. Very Very mobile friendly now. Matter of fact we use it for on the fly advancement.
Trust me I have been though my share of software, this is far superior.
-
CubTrails.... never heard of it. make with the switch to ScoutBook. You will enjoy it

Ha guys finally after calling stores (with rather rude responses from some) I finally acquired this yesterday on Ebay with a price I could stomach.
There is also this option I stumbled across the other day. Huge Marmot fan.

I have to agree on this camping in a cabin isn't camping

I don't approve of any "spoofs" but one day I do wish to acquire the "Untrainable" patch

he shouldn't be wearing a badge of office patch or the "trained" patch.
Let not assume the scout store didn't UP SELL this gentleman and told him he needed that patch. Its happened in front of my eyes.
"Have you taken some training" this could be YPT, oh then here is a TRAINED PATCH

Am I correct in saying he cannot wear the uniform to activities since he is not a "trained" adult leader in the unit?
He is a committee member and paid his $33.00 to serve your unit. Have you guided him down the path of training? As much as well all need more help, don't let someone that is eager to hit the ground running slip through your fingers

Here in Chickasaw there is a branding co that we have aligned ourselves with which makes these shirts for $5 each. Now they are ALL identical with the Oath and law on them and you choose the color but they place the Pack or Troop number on them. This has helped a lot.

@Eph that is awesome! I didnt even know we could design our own and get them ordered. How did you go about doing that?
Advantage Emblems is who I use most of the time for District Patches

Took Baloo many years ago. Told my Pack CC he needed to take Baloo so he did. Came back with a patch and my mind was Blown, I am a patch guy and I want that patch lol.

One quick update that I’m not sure if anyone else noticed. The Be A Scout search now shows if packs are Boy only, Girl Only or mixed. I haven’t found any that are listed as anything but Boy Only but something to watch for as this ramps up...
OH wow...thanks for the Heads up on that...Heading there now

My council only charges minimal fees for training, to cover basic costs. $5 for position specific... and you get the Trained patch. $12 for BALOO to cover some handouts and lunch. I don’t hear complaints about cost only content and time (frequency and length).
Same here in my Council

Do you run merit badges at your troop meetings?
UGH yes for now and seem to be the focal point for now. For the most part its leaderships fault for allowing a pushy mom to "run the show" slowly working my way in to work this behavior out.
I have no issue with doing a MB and here is the formula that I have seen work. MB covers 3 months, 1 meeting a month focuses on said MB.

I am waiting until spring recruitment for my inclusion of girls, only makes sense. B&G is a month away and there is no sense in rushing them through.

I would like to get excited about the next Indiana Jones movie, but the last movie with aliens did me in. Harrison is too old and todays writers spend too much time developing the characters with dialog instead of action.

Oh come on Dad... it wasn't that far out there. I didn't "really" enjoy it but it entertained me. I hate that ole Shia LaBeouf went bat sh@t crazy, would have loved to see him take over the role.

I wonder what JJ thought after watching the entire UNDOING of TFA? I am glad JJ has the next one. Sure there were parts that I loved but there were MORE parts I hated!
