  1. Does anyone have the 360 assessment form on word or open office. I have the sample from the class, but I am not a very good typist and it would take me hours to type all those questions and boxes. Please E-Mail me at CD_Ranger@hotmail.com . Thanks for your help.
  2. Information from the national Jambo site: http://www.bsajamboree.org/visitor.html
  3. I said way back at the beginning I like Pie and I still have not gotten any.
  4. I used to have a recipe for Mud but I can not find it anyplace, hopefully someone here might have it. As I recall it was made in a ziplock bag with brownie mix, marshmelows, M&M's...
  5. This is an assumption, and you know what "assume" means. I think that the WEBELOS are getting the green on tan unit numbers because they are getting ready to transition into Boy Scouts, so they will not have to change the unit numbers on their shirt when they move over to Boy Scouts or they out grow it. As for the Adult Cub Scout Leaders they may or may not transition into a Boy Scout Unit after their son moves on, so they will need to have a uniform that conforms more to the Cub Scouts than the Boy Scouts. Thus the Red on Tan Unit Numbers. I would expect that there will soon be a Red on
  6. Lowe's has a birdhouse Sat morning. They usually only have 50 per store, so you might be out of luck there as well being its so late. You can try and register at: https://www.lowesbuildandgrow.com/
  7. This is another prime example of why you should wait at least one day to post anything on a forum if you are overly emotional about the subject. Gather your thoughts, put them down on paper wait a day and read what you put down, edit what you wrote and then in a clear and ordered manner post what happened and ask a question. Insane babblings and random accusations make you look like you are the one here that has the problem.
  8. There was a lot of old/recycled video in the presentation. One example was the Tiger Cubs Immediate recognition emblem on the belt instead of on the shirt. It has been a few years since they used the belt emblem. You would think that bringing on a new training session, they would use new and current video footage.
  9. Snip the 2 stitches in the rear connecting the belt to the pants and remove it. Buy the Good belt with the metal buckle.
  10. After the plastic buckle came loose from the belt and I could not figure how to get it compressed back together, I quickly found the 2 stitches and replaced the belt with the good BSA belt.
  11. Be flexible, you do not need to follow Program Helps, Fast trax, BB, or the handbook in order. Our council sponsored a Cub Hike in October. It was nice to not have to organize the outing and do the tour permit. Try to combine activities. We picked up leaves on the hike for our leaf rub. We used the leaf rubs to make greeting cards for the troops overseas and turned in our hours for Good Turn For America. Always have an alternative activity. My boys demand 1 full hour of den activities and by gosh I always have something in my den box if we get done early. At Tiger age their int
  12. The 2008 Uniform Guide: http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/images/pdfs/2008UniformGuide.pdf shows the beads using a single strand of the lanyard splitting the tiger tracks and the black go see it beads on the left side and another strand splitting the white family and orange den beads on the right. All the beads are in single rows of 5. The Tiger Cub Insignia Guide: http://www.scouting.org/media/insigniaguide/04.aspx and the package cover for the kit of 5 badges show 4 individual 2 sided strands with 3 beads on 1 strand and 2 on the other. The beads are arranged orange/den, white/family,
  13. I wonder why they are making the uniforms harder to see now by changing the letter/numbers from red to green? Seems like they are moving to camo uniforms. Just food for thought.
  14. I have not tried it yet, but BM states on its website that you can use Goof Off to remove the residue left over after removing a patch. If you hate to sew this is an easy substitute but sewing is the best way to go.
  15. I just looked at the scouting store. I was wrong. There is 5 different patches and pins as well as the Family award patch. I still believe the Award Patch is the main award for completing the requirements and it seems that you can get either or patch or pin for completing the 5 categories. Sorry for the added confusion.
  16. Perhaps when they say patches (plural) they mean a patch for each family member not 5 different patches.
  17. It is my understanding that it is 1 patch earned after doing 2 requirements in each of 5 categories. Then if you complete the entire category after earning the patch there are 5 pins 1 for each category. Much like the Varsity C Letter pins where you earn the belt loop first then for completing the entire requirement you get a pin to add to the Letter.
  18. To wear our country's flag properly, the field of stars is worn closest to your heart. Further, when worn on the sleeve of a military uniform, the flag should appear to be advancing and not retreating. Thus, if your patch is to be worn on your LEFT sleeve, use a left flag (normal). For patches worn on your RIGHT sleeve, use a "right" or "reversed field" flag. Since the Flag Rules do not specifically address the positioning of the patch, a decision is left to the discretion of the organization prescribing the wear. Some elect to use the "left" flag on both sleeves. [Note: many states and c
  19. I wish the "Made in China" tag was not added on.
  20. Say good bye to bb guns and bow and arrows. Better get those loops before next year. Since when is President of the united States an entry level position? Can the President vote "Present" 130 times when presented with a bill? Is it really ok to terminate a living breathing baby outside the mother after a botched abortion? 250k last month 200k 2 weeks ago, 150k last week. What is the definition of wealthy in America after the election? 15k? A wise man said many years ago that a Democracy could only last until the population realized that it could vote itself wealt
  21. There is a Mandatory Standard #4. in the Cub Scout Leader book - Pack Overnighter Site Approval Form 34-65. "Drinking water from an approved source is provided at convenient locations and is readily accessible." Might want to check what an "approved" source is with your council.
  22. The new Switchback nylon pants with the zip up leg bottoms have a sewn in belt with a plastic buckle. My belt separated from the buckle in the first week. It was almost impossible to get it back together and hold. I eventually bought one of the new belts and was able to cut the old belt from the pants. The new belt works great. My advise would be to scrap the plastic belt and get the new one.
  23. I gave each Adult Partner a copy of the 7 say/show requirements. Had the boys stand about 50 feet away and ran a relay race to their Adult Partner. Each Adult Partner would ask the cub one of the requirements and if he needed help say it with him. Then they would race back to the line tag it and race back to the Adult Partner and do another requirement till they finished them all. I awarded the winner the Denner shoulder cord. I explained his responsibilities of leading the line as we moved from place to place and making sure they were all lined up and quiet in line. The last place "fini
