  1. These also can bring outside funds for those without kids or kids that are grown.
  2. I first heard it when Citizenship in Society came out in draft form. I don’t feel out of touch, but at 47, it didn’t make its way into my lexicon until recently. With many feeling they don’t want to get involved or that something is none of their business, it is a useful term to name what it means to stand for what is right.
  3. As an engineer, I like to follow rules., but they need to be clear What drives me crazy is the FAQ becomes like an amendment to the rules. Two deep is a good example of catchy (well, it has become catchy, but it works).
  4. In both cases they are saying because the COR must approve of all adults on a campout.
  5. Yes, I saw the hint where it says to be registered in the position you are performing in the unit. So, if a Cubmaster comes on a troop campout, they can't be a Cubmaster, but man, it is very vague.
  6. Well, now I am crazy, I thought I saw it in the G2SS or FAQ. But, I thought it wasn't just rumored, but rolled out. Now, I don't know.
  7. They are now saying you need to be registered with the unit, at a minimum, not just registered.
  8. For me, I was a tiger in 1982. So this would have been 1983-1986. Crossed over in 1987.
  9. No. Most cub scouts and even scouts didn’t wear the world crest as they didn’t participate in an international activity.
  10. When I was a cub, the world crest was o my for international participation. We wore the world conservation award on that side, not the Jamboree side.
  11. This fall I’ll have my 3 years in for commissioner and will able to earn the commissioner key (one year short when I had to transition from SM to CC). So, I’ll be at 9 knots. An interesting thing is that all of mine have been earned vs. awarded / honored to received. I’ve only been active with the district for almost 3 years, so not clearly distinguished for things like the district award of merit. If I am ever so lucky to earn or be awarded another knot (say in 2 years I could earn the Doctorate of Commissioner Science), I’ll have to decide to go against the guide to awards and insignia and w
  12. Ummmm.... there shouldn't be. It has been a long time since one could wear it where the world crest is now. It was never in the Jamboree spot. The guide to advancement is pretty clear. It is a temporary insignia now.
  13. No, they weren’t. The bigger climbing area wasn’t open, some zip lines weren’t, and the tree top canopy tour were not opened. Very sad. The other Jamborees were great. This one? Meh!
