One other good place for the Nova awards is part of Cub Scout Day Camp. Our science and nature person this year for my Day Camp has run through some of the Nova stuff. It gives a cool and different sort of reward for attending day camp. (still will have to follow up with scouts to be sure they do the required reading/watching).

NCAP HS 508: Specific Requirements of the Standard: A . The camp requires that all prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications be stored under lock (including those requiring refrigeration), except when in the controlled presence of health care staff or other adult leader responsible for administration and/or dispensing medications . All bsa camps will require prescriptions to be turned in as part of the standards of running a BSA camp. So even if in general they could keep medicines, at summer camp they

certainly before 91. My 87 printing of my webelos book has the knot in it. But I suspect its much older than that.

I would imagine some clarification on this when it gets rolled out formally. The cub cast discussing this made it really clear that the protect yourself adventure was going to happen fairly soon. The yo-yo one was a possible one. So I’d imagine there will be more guidance when it happen. I could see either argument being right, that it does and doesn’t substitute at the troop level.

Given that this replaces cyber Chip, it’s just better videos over bad videos.

lots of day camps happening in general parks though. In general though yeah, the dining hall is the severe weather shelter.

In general, most camp standards allow the use a open shelter if it includes wiring (ie grounding).

Yeah, at least at the cub scout area, its sounding like one of the belt loops will be some version of youth protection.

I suspect my area is very different in a number of ways, nor do i think that I'm at all the median on a lot of my views.

I pretty distinctly remember dale, and I have 5 year old cub scout. For early millennials and late gen X, the dale case would have been prominent right at the end of their time in the youth portion of BSA.

As importantly, the BSA system is well designed to uncover quickly and deal with abuse when it is discovered. Clearly the ideal is to not have abuse happen. But the second best is to make abuse really hard to occur, to detect it when it happen as quickly as possible, and to get cases to law enforcement and out of scouting as fast as possible.

As importantly, with proper ypt, someone not following the rules is very easy to detect and address. Yes the goal is zero, but realistically a very small fraction of people will find a weakness.

I mean, how many students in school get abused by their teachers? 5 cases is 5 too many, but realistically that number is never going to be zero.

Nitpick. The area where this really concerns me is in the BSA YPT training. There the training explicitly calls for confiscation of an electronic device when you suspect something wrong (ie photos). All fine, but it doesn't really cover what to do when you request a phone be turned over and someone says "no".

It also would work to lessen the meeting requirements for the younger ages, where meeting weekly is tough and is work. The Cubs meet 1-2 times a month, the webelos meet more like 3-4 times, and then the troop meets weekly. Then older crew or whatever can make their own schedules based on interest.

It looks like roundtable got moved into the commissioner category and thus the general commissioner awards apply. But that's above my pay grade so I don't know.

My cynical side also says that the bsa really wanted to find a within the rules answer to cover what they realized what she was going to do regardless. That said, I’m glad they found a within the rules cover for the situation.

Woggles in general are fine, but the stiff 2 strand, 4 lobed leather woggle (item 2173) is restricted to wood badge participants only to be worn with the wb necker. It’s distinctive in appearance and a violation of the insignia guide.

From the new Bryan on scouting post today: So the numbers from my council seem to be mostly accurate. https://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2019/05/13/heres-how-new-scouts-bsa-members-can-request-an-eagle-scout-extension/

Win all you can!

I heard 15k girls in scouts bsa at the last news from council.

Again, assuming an older, knowledgable, and motivated youth, the trail to first class is pretty easy. And there's a big difference between someone somewhere was able to do this, and the entire unit being able to do this. As long as outliers are actual outliers, there's no reason to be concerned.

One other motivation could be that she knows exactly how much time she has to reach Eagle including the extension, if she's older. That can light a fire under someone who is motivated by the rank. If she knows she has 20 months, that's a good reason to keep moving along. Additionally, for the older scouts, especially ones with venture or outdoor focused Girl Scout experience, there's not a lot of difficulty in finishing everything. Its really not that hard.

I like that idea a lot.
