I have a daughter and a son and I can see the differences girls are wired differently then boys that is a fact. Little girls like baby dolls and little boys like trucks. I do not see the GSA merging with the BSA any time soon. The Girl Scouts have a way different way of doing things that I do not agree with but there is a reason for them. Example a troupe can limit there numbers and not allow you in because "I do not like your mommy" they have a really long waiting list and you can not get in a troupe unless you know somebody or bribe them in some way shape or form. I have never been to any

I love it when the parents do the kids projects for them and I look over and there is the scout board to death while his father is building the rocket or making the catapult. this year with is my ADL is there I am going to kick the parents out !!!!

badwolf I used this water system on the AT http://www.amazon.com/Platypus-GravityWorks-Filter-System-4-Liter/dp/B00G4V4IVQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1435845945&sr=8-1&keywords=platapus+water+filter what I did was left the clean bag at home and used the dirty bag to fill my water Reservoir in my pack with out having to remove it from the pack just stick the nipple in the drink tube it worked out well. while in camp I would fill both water reservoir in the packs and the dirty bag and hang that from a tree since it filters the water on demand. You do have to back flush it

It sounds like we lost a good man my thoughts and prayers go out to his family his troop and his friends

I think you should keep her around for pure entertainment purposes

Yes she should

JoeBob you are correct there are a lot of YouTube videos out there to show you how to do stuff but like anything you need to know your source. Now there is a guy YouTube who is a lot of fun and puts on some really good vids that are not only entertaining but very informative. I emailed him once to ask a question about something and he emailed me back the next day and told me were I could find the video. I use his vids when I am teaching my scouts about something. I have attached a video he did on having a morning constitutional in the woods I think the BSA should contract him to

I am just a cub scout dude so I am still young. One thing that has kind of bothered me is I took YPT and I was then qualified to be a den leader or cub master. I took BALOO and Webelos outdoor training so now I can take the cubs on camp outs. One thing I really like about my Webelos outdoor training was the trainer gave the participants the job of teaching most of the classes. Yea seems kind of funny you are taking a class but guess what you have to teach part of it. I did the map and compass portion of the class I had orienteering training in high school and then got navigation with my b

Love the story that is great

You did not take me

Twocubdad I want to go to your round table meetings

It was like that when I got here I swear

I would love it if the round table's would cover and adventure category help the den leaders provide that adventure share ideas for science adventures what worked and what did not work for there level ideas for the field trips extra

Our Treasurer accidentally and I do mean accidentally wrote a check for personal expense she got the check books confused we do require two signatures but the bank cleared the check anyway so that does not even offer any protection

I have a young son who is on the spectrum. He really needs scouts it is the only way he gets to interact with other kids other wise he will just sit in his room and play his video games. Our pack did not seem to care when he came aboard. I told them after they meet him and spent some time with him and I did not get any of those looks at all. One thing the leaders do know that is at this stage of the game I am very close buy in case something happens like the CC decides to play and "unsafe game" like doge ball (my son does not get doge ball) and remove my son from the situation. The CC lear

We do about one thing a month during the summer a field trip to some place cool basically we are trying to get the pack summertime award

I just wont invite Irving to my water gun battle

It is funny my pack tried to give the church a donation and we were turned down told to hold a food drive instead

My suggestion

Sections 4 and 5 in Maryland the scout was from Edgewater MD

Not from you youth from just a few month ago my Daughter and I decided to hike a section of the At for spring break we spent the first night at a shelter. We were sitting there just enjoying the early evening. Then this group of High school Students show up they were also on spring break and my first thought was here comes the booze and drugs. Boy was I surprised those kids were extremely nice great bunch of kids I could tell one of them was a scout. My daughter had a great time talking with the kids and they had fun talking with her. The next day we hiked 6 miles and my daughter as done

First BPT00 I have a son with special needs High functioning autism and your statement "These kids can be a real pain in the butt" is the main reason I do not tell people he is unless they need to know. Then and only then I do not tell them until after they meet him thanks Badwolf for standing up to her !!! Now for the families that left because of the special the only way I can see that working in there favor was if the kid was violent other wise do not let the door hit you on the way out. I also agree with the no baby sitting option I have been to most of my sons den meetings wor

I am a new leader just started last year. I went the scout store and purchased my uniform shirt and pants witch I had to then get hemmed and they it was expensive. The real thing BSA needs to do is lower there prices!!! I tell my new scouts to get there uniforms on ebay or craigslist and to take there time I will not punish a scout for not wearing there uniform or being out of uniform I am dealing with cubs. I always were the full uniform when I am at scout functions. Funny story the other day I was getting ready to leave for my den meeting with my son also we were both in full

congrats can you help me find a tiger den leader ?
