We have a Sea Scout Ship in my district. Really impressed with its commitment, the leaders, and its youth.

I will just that I was a Range Officer for Cubs for about 3 years once. It is a very important role but one I don't want to do again. It was so stressful and mentally exhausting for me.

I hope your boys have a great time at CRN. It should be an exciting trip.

The Cherokee Scout Resevation is about 30 miles from the Burlington, NC Amtrak station.

Just wanted to post to say thank you for this thread and the great responses. My son did not get tapped out last night and he was crushed...I mean...it surprised me how crushed he was. This thread has helped me to think about ways to positively handle this with him when I pick him up from camp tomorrow. Of course, by tomorrow he probably will not even remember how he felt last night.....lol.

Any ideas on where/how own can watch it?

Check your council's website regularly and pass along and plan to attended special events. Work really hard at helping your DL's the plan great/fun den meetings. Build a solid relationship with your CO's Boy Scout troop if it has one. Thank you for your service!

Only when summer camp is not in session.

Pan fried walleye....oh my....gosh that sounds good. All went well. He cooked tacos in a bag and black beans last night. Pancakes and bacon this morning. Fixed ham and turkey sandwiches for lunch. He says it all went well....he was in a good mood about. Going to try to get a little more info later. Only found one tick attached to him.....have no idea how it got there.

I hear you Stosh...I should have clarified that this was his first time as the "cook".

Sitting here wondering how it turned out for him. Dude was stressed about it as I took him to meet the group before they left for the camp...guess he has seen some older boys who were not happy about food being late, not enough, etc. in past camp outs. Years ago I never thought I would worry about my son "cooking". Lol!

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

Elections? How about begging somebody....anybody....to step up to fill a position on the committee?

My son picked his troop and it was different for the one associated with his Pack. That was tough for me because I was a den leader for 4 years and developed friendship with many of the Pack leaders/parents. At the end of the day I think he made the right choice for him.....I am proud of him. Best of luck to you and your son......and your Scouting career does not need to end now.
