Currently the Cub Scout NATIONAL PACK SUMMERTIME AWARD PIN is worn centered above the button on the "wearer's right" pocket flap. Now, when Cubs earn the CUB SCOUT OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AWARD Patch it will be sewn over that flap. For each additional time the CUB SCOUT OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AWARD is earned, a Wolf Track Pin may be pinned on the patch over the pocket flap. Question: What happens to the NATIONAL PACK SUMMERTIME AWARD PIN? May it be pinned on the new patch or is it worn no more? Or, has a new location been designated for it?

Sorry everyone. But I will continue to show my flag the respect it deserves by removing my hat at the raising or lowering of Old Glory. And I will expect my boys to show their flag that same respect. At our summer camp one of the calls at flag twice a day was. "Scout remove hats". Maybe that isn't by some written guidelines but it is one that I feel our flag deserves. Lynda J, Doesn't the scout salute render honor to "your" flag as well? I certainly don't believe I, nor my Scouts, are disrespecting "Old Glory" when we render the Scout hand salute in our Activity, or Field, Unifor

If saluting in uniform with hats on outdoors (which I'm sure it probably was) was in common use by Boy Scouts on June 15, 1916, then it's okay now! http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode36/usc_sup_01_36_06_II_08_B_10_309.html TITLE 36 > Subtitle II > Part B > CHAPTER 309 CHAPTER 309BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Release date: 2004-11-08  30901.

johndaigler: You said: "Bugler, I'll get back to you after Thanksgiving. I have to go home to my Mom's house to get my old High School Latin books so that I can figure out what you said to me!!!!!!!!!"

SAVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN SAVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN SAVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN SAVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN Go call an Executive before you try any of the above in Uniform! Gimme a break Bob White, it's St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital for crying out loud! Your moral compass should point to "S" and that stands for: SAVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN!

Do it, in Uniform! What are they going to do, eat you? Can you think of a better cause? Heaven forbid Scouts in uniform might be associated with helping to raise money for a premier hospital dedicated to SAVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN! Has it come to this that we have to ask if we can wear the Uniform on a mission of mercy? It's not like your supporting a political candidate at a rally! Tour Permit it as a hike, isn't that what it really is? As to the Service Project I would say yes to that also. As contributing to SAVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN is most assuredly "service" in the p

So, Be of careful of: Praesumptio salutis sine meritis consequendae, Impugnatio agnitae veritatis, Obstinatio in peccatis, Impaenitentia finalis, and lastly: Peccatum Sodomitarum! You said; "Fiat justitia; ruat coelum." No jd! Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei! So.....Fiat justitia et pereat mundus. I find your Latin challenging and I enjoy it! I wish I was fluent. It's not Sacrilegious, after all it "is" "The Language of God" and "The Official Language of The Vatican",

bluegoose: I had promised myself I was not coming back to this subject, alas.... You quote Bob Dylan and his song "The Times They Are A-Changin:" to, I suppose, indicating that we should now accept homosexuality as we previously did not. I disagree. You profess your faith a as Quaker, which I understand is Christian, so I will address you as such. Everyone may want to freak out over this, but if you can quote a "Rock Star" to support you, I am going to quote "The Rock" to support me. "Times [may be] A-Changin" for Bob but not for God! God does not change. Malachi 3:6 "I the LO

"are NOT the words of the John Jay/CUNY study, NOT the words of the Roman Catholic Church, NOT the words of the USCCB, or any of its Boards" -I never said they were. I said, "A good summary of the results of the study can be found at: www.catholicexchange.com/vm/index.asp?art_id=22733". If that was interpreted as an official site without checking it, I apologize, but I still believe it's a good and accurate summary.

"Actually, I was defending science from your misuse (possibly perversion) of it. Science doesn't 'belong' to anyone (as in "my science"). It is free for anyone to employ. I hope you give it a try someday." You rush to defend science from "perversion", but not anything else! How odd you chose the noun "perversion". I'm glad I didn't employ that word first! Mr. Webster says: Main Entry: perversion Pronunciation: p&r-'v&r-zh&n, -sh&n Function: noun Date: 14th century 1 : the action of perverting : the condition of being perverted 2 : a perverted form; especi

"If anyone wants to promote their particular prejudice, I would appreciate it if they would articulate their arguments in their own honest terms, and not try to use science (or their ignorance thereof) as a crutch." I am not "promoting a particular prejudice", I was responding to BPwannabe@137's oringinal post. Therefore my remarks were solicited. "Promoting" to my ignorant mind would be unsolicted. If someone wants to deviate sexually they can do so. However, I do not want them in a position to instruct, or be a role model for, my son in a private organization. They can start their o

Merlyn_LeRoy: Cute, a little lesbian "snake with legs." "the New Mexico Whiptail, as well as several other all-female species of whiptail lizard, does reproduce, and all of its offspring are female."* I'm not sure I need to stand corrected on this one. The Whiptail "reproduces by parthenogenesis -- its eggs require no fertilization, and its offspring are exact and complete genetic duplicates of the mother."*. So, Natural Law may allow them to deviate, or maybe not as "Scientists understand only partially how this reproductive mode developed."* They may be equipped with male and female phy

A very small and deviant segment of society demands that we accept them "because" they are deviant. You can spin this any way you want, but homosexuals should continue to be banned from the BSA based on their moral depravity, i.e., "to keep myself......morally straight". So everyone wants to say oh, they are not deviant, they are different. Yea, right! As Scouts we are not required to accept any specific faith. "A Scout is reverent toward God" Remove the faiths and take just the basics. God is a Supreme Being who is responsible for The Natural Order of the Universe, or Natural Law. All things

BPwannabe@137, Amen! You are correct. Wearing a Campaign Hat doesn't make you "better" than anyone else. It just makes you "look better" than them!

This may be sacrilegious but I use a professional tailor! I don't have rank badges anymore but temporary insignia on the right pocket. It's the same principle. My tailor will do this: "take the pocket off the shirt, carefully, sew the patch on with the machine, and then sew the patch back on the shirt." All for five (5) bucks! She will sew on any other patch, strip, etc. for one (1) dollar each! The work is perfect. She loves Scouts; also she buys a lot of popcorn! What a deal! mich632, maybe you could find a professional tailor in your area?

I am a Wolf Den Leader, here is my personal observation: In my District About 50% of Cub Scout Leaders wear complete uniforms, 40% wear just uniform shirts, and 10% wear no uniform. Less than 5% of all those wear hats or neckerchiefs. The most common hat worn for Wolf Den Leaders is the BSA green and red cap, or the Expedition Hat. I have never seen an adult in a Wolf Cap. Whatever percentage I constitute, is the percentage that religiously wears a hat as part of the Uniform. That is not boasting that is a fact. I was "raised" as a Scout to believe headgear was an essential part of the Unifo

Mark: Don't feel like the Lone Ranger! That's why I said "What is the origin of this command, i.e., is it short for some longer forgotten phrase?" I thought the phrase might be something like "return your hand 'to' your side", or something like that. I am very glad I posted the questions now, but I don't want to "toot" my own horn! Now the hard question is: What is the best way to present the facts to your SM and not "tootally" embarrass him! Good luck with that one. +Jim

Bob White: Thanks, I get it now! It's for each branch. I thought you meant "kinds" like in the "mechanics of the salute", say for Boy Scouts. You had me worried there was something else I wasn't aware of, other than the "two" thing! Of course there may be something else I'm unaware of, but I'm unaware of it (at this time)!

Bob White: You posted, "since we have three different salutes for scouts and leaders in uniform". What are the "three different salutes"? Just curious. Thanks.
