Wish that that the "page changer" was also at the bottom of the page.

When I go in the Open Discussion - Program forum, all I see are the two sub forums, no other posts

In the Commissioner Fieldbook for Unit Service, http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/33621.pdf, there is a chapter titled "How to Remove a Volunteer", it states: Who has the authority to remove a volunteer? A good rule of thumb is this: The person or group with the authority to appoint a volunteer has the authority to remove and replace that volunteer And goes on to state, In the case of unit Scouters, commissioners must remember that it is the chartered organization that has made the appointment.

From the Guide to Advancement,(you should read this from front to back, http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/33088.pdf) 4.2.1.4 The Scout Is Recognized - When the board of review has approved his advancement, the Scout deserves recognition as soon as possible. This should be done at a ceremony at the next unit meeting. The certificate for his new rank may be presented later, during a formal court of honor. If your district is like mine and about an hour away from the closest scout shop, I would recommend recognizing the young man will and an announcement and a congratulations at

NJ, while I agree that what all you mentioned has helped bring us here, I do not believe that this would be put to a vote right now unless it was the stated agenda of a few, high ranking members of the executive board.

I do not believe that this would have been released, or leaked I’m not sure, if the votes were not there for it to pass. Not including Baptists, because they have no central governing body, my gut tells me three of the big five chartering organizations have already given this the OK: LDS, Lutheran, and Methodist.

I think it has to do more with the objectives of the president-elect of the BSA, than some potential court case.

Quite a few on ebay in the sub $50 range,http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=bugle&_sacat=0&_from=R40 Also, a bugle, trumpet, or cornet may be used to complete the bugling merit badge requirements.

I went a few years back to the Unit Commissioner course. I was expecting some super top secret training only available at Philmont. That’s not what it was. It was basically the commissioners Bachelors and Master rolled into four days. It did give me a chance to talk to commissioners from all over the country and find out how they handle issues. Our course was conducted by a Scout Executive, Council Commissioner, and Council VP from a council near Louisville Kentucky, we got some real insight from them on how councils operate. The Director of Support Services from national came in for a

I have given up on this argument with most in the pro gun control crowd. Here how it normally goes: Me: The Constitution states "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Pro Gun Control Person(PGCP): (insert favorite pro gun control talking point) Me: But the Constitution states "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." PGCP: (insert second favorite pro gun control talking point) Me: But the Constitution states "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." PGCP: (insert third favor

While looking for some "old" items I did a search for "commissioner", and the website only returned six items, commissioner message pens, National Commissioner Emblem, Regional Commissioner Emblem, Commissioner Fieldbook for Unit Service, Knots of Recognition(which includes the Distinguished Commissioner Award Knot), and the Handbook for District Operations. Something is very wrong with scoutstuff.org

Last year the Great Smoky Mountain Councils Camp Buck Toms offered Venturing camp, and on the last day there was a tour of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The leaders guide can be found on this page, http://www.bsa-gsmc.org/venture-camp/46561 this is last years info, but call the council office and someone should be able to fill you in on this years program.

Has anyone ever heard of the supreme court case United States vs. Miller? While I understand there are some issues citing this case, the defendant died before the case was heard and no defense was presented and that short barreled shotguns had actually been used by the army but the government did not present that information to the court, it does offer some insight into how the federal government and the supreme court once interpreted the second amendment. The governments case centered on that a short barreled shotgun was not military style weapon suitable for use in an organized milit

Any discussion on gun control needs to examine the second amendment, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" Well regulated- This had a different meaning in 1791 than it does today, more like well disciplined/well trained. militia- No, this has nothing to do with the national guard. The militia, per federal law, is all able body males between 17 and 45, with a few exemptions. the right of the People- Nowhere else in the Constitution does a right attributed to the people refer to a

Is 8"x12" small engough? http://www.scoutstuff.org/pack-desk-flag-8-inch-x-12-inch.html Also a pack of 12 4"x6" http://www.scoutstuff.org/pack-desk-flag-4-inch-x-6-inch-package-of-12.html, you can get a single one with a US flag cheaper thought http://www.scoutstuff.org/flag-desk-set.html

I knew of a troop and crew that did this, it was an utter failure. Venturing is not boy scouts, if you try to operate them as one unit you are asking for a failure of the crew. Occasional joint activities of troops and crew at the same CO on the other hand is a great idea.

I forgot 2, AP - Tiger Adult Partner - Cub Scouts SP - ScoutParent - All Traditional Units As far as the email address, they are being used as part of the Voice of the Scout program, http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Commissioners/newsletter/recruitment_retention/02_2012_vos.aspx This is on the district and council Journey to Excellence scorecard. This is basically a customer service survey sent out to parents, leaders and youth.

I know at one time every position on the district committee had an individual position code. I believe 120 was activities chair, but I am not sure on the rest. I would bet that 112 is an old district or council committee position.

While doing some research on the current position codes, I compiled this list based on a few official sources from the BSA. Code - Title - Registation CC - Committee Chairman - All Traditional Units CR - Chartered Organization Representative - All Traditional Units MC - Committee Member - All Traditional Units PC - ScoutParents Unit Coordinator - All Traditional Units SA - Assistant Scoutmaster - Boy Scouts SM - Scoutmaster - Boy Scouts 11 - Council President - Council 12 - Council Vice President - Council 13 - Council Treasurer - Council 14 - Council Assistant

I know of a troop and a pack in my district that have a combined committee, dual registered as troop and pack committee members/chair. It works very well for them, and there is a strong bond between the units. They have a strong committee chair that makes sure it works.

Ok I finally got it to work. Very limited in what you can do now. As a Troop Committee member I have access to a dashboard that includes a calender, announcements, and my profile. Calender- I can only look at it, no edit capabilities. Announcements- I can only look at it, no edit capabilities. Profile- I can edit my address, email address, and phone number. As District Commissioner I have the same as above plus a roster manager, a calender edit tool and an announcement edit tool. Under the Roster Manager I can see all of the people registered on the district level, and a

The system is up and running, my.scouting.org, log in with your myscouting.org credentials. so far I am having zero luck getting it to do anything, but it is not formatted correctly for my 10" laptop.

qwazse, you need to take a look at the Guide to Advancement, "Though it has not been clearly stated in the past, units, districts, and local councils do not have the authority to implement a different system for merit badge approval and documentation." The procedures and this statement make it clear that the only acceptable merit badge application is the Blue Card, #34124.
