  1. I will be presenting the material on inland navigation to a ship. I can use various nautical publications but wondered if there is a course outline already.
  2. I see many instances where the phrase "cabin camping" is used on the Forum and it concerns me slightly, from the simple standpoint of Scout advancement. While sleeping a cabin is undoubtedly a valid/frequent/normal exercise in the annals of Boy Scout activities tradition, it does not fit within the acceptable activities to fulfill the camping requirements for Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, 1st Class, or Camping Merit Badge. To be clear, I am simply supplying the Forum with a resource from the BSA explaining camping requirements. I'm in no way knocking sleeping in a cabin; or letting the Scou
  3. So I recorded an episode of my podcast with Scouting with Special Needs expert Sandy Payne, and I thought you might like to hear it. She's pretty great and gives an overview of a number of different disabilities. She also goes over advancements, and "coding", and quite a bit more. https://mikecooney.net/podcast/ep-1-scouting-special-needs/
  4. This is just a friendly reminder: On December 31, 2016, all rank advancement requirements in the Boy Scouting program expired. They were replaced in toto by a set of requirements issued in 2015, but now mandatory. Bryan on Scouting lays the matter out for all of us.
  5. From Bryan on Scouting. For your reading and consideration.
  6. Looks like all of our Dens are going to be ready to receive their rank badges at the April pack meeting. Rather do a series of small ceremonies for the Tigers, Wolves, Bears and Webelos 1s all in a row - I am trying to find a good idea for how to do one ceremony at the same time for all. I am picturing having everyone stand in a circle - with their parents behind them in another circle - or something like that. Anyone have an idea or something to share? Thanks,
  7. Anyone else subscribe to the BSA National Advancement team newsletter? It comes out every 2 months and has some good info. Here's a link to the latest edition.
  8. Bryan Wendell posted this while scouter.com was down. Boy Scout service hour requirements to increase beginning 2016
  9. One of the requirements for earning Eagle Palms is that the scout "make a satisfactory effort to develop and demonstrate leadership ability." Does anyone have any BSA resources that explain what is meant by this phrase and what kind of actions will fulfill this requirement? Do those actions have to be pre-approved by the SM before the scout can begin them in order to fufill the requirement? Any light you can shed on this is appreciated!
  10. I am looking for an opinion on first class path advancement at summer camp. Do you feel that it is acceptable for the Scoutmaster of a provisional unit to sign off on first class path advancement requirements, such as building a fire cooking over the fire, demonstrating first aid technique, etcetera etcetera? How would you handle this?
  11. In the new Webelos/AoL program, can 5th graders working on their Arrow of Light go back and earn the "required" pins from Webelos? For example, the Webelos Walkabout, First Responder, etc.? I don't think such a scout could go back and get the Webelos Award, but could they count the pins associated with it as electives for AoL (assuming of course they were *not* being used toward the Webelos Award)? This question came to me as I was looking at the transition from the old program to the new one, but I could see it being asked if a boy were to start Cub Scouts in 5th grade in the new program.
  12. This is trending. You can also find a version at scoutingnewsroom, but my isp is not friendly to that ip/domain. http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/2015/06/14/3768685_boy-scout-finds-eagle-application.html?rh=1 Gist of the story: Scout completes requirements before age 18. Unit screws up the paperwork. Eventually, a copy of the app is found. Submitted through Council to National. National, under current Advancement policy, decides the breakdown is on the adult side of matters, not the youth. National authorizes an EBOR. Old Scouter earns Eagle.
  13. Advancement belt loops. See also Boy Scouting in the 70s. What can possibly go wrong? http://scoutingmagazine.org/2015/04/everything-need-know-new-cub-scouting-program/
  14. This just popped... http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/33088.pdf Here's the blog post from Bryan on Scouting, verbatim http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2015/04/23/2015-guide-to-advancement-out-now-here-are-13-of-the-biggest-changes/ The 2015 Guide to Advancement, your official source for administering advancement in all Boy Scouts of America programs, is now available. View or download it by clicking here. The Guide to Advancement is a critical reference tool for anyone involved in advancement in Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, Venturing and Sea Scouts. It’s
  15. 3 weeks ago at Troop meeting 2 Scouts asked me to sign off on their POR requirements. One I wasn’t sure he was even holding the POR he said he was (Chaplin’s Aid for Life) and for the 2nd one I wasn't sure what he had done for his POR (Historian for Star) I told both that they needed to see the SM about getting these signed off. We had a week off for Spring Break and last week both of these Scouts approached me again asking if I could sign off the Scout Sprit requirement. I saw that both had gotten one of our new ASM’s to sign off on the POR requirement. I told both
  16. So in my council it appears that you can no longer buy a rank patch without your Advancement Chair from your unit printing out a form from the Internet Advancement website to validate your Scout is the rank you say he is. Of course there's no way you can buy bulk rank patches either anymore without said paperwork. If you try they make you fill out a form with the names of the scouts for which you are buying said patch. I asked, "So, do I still have to pay or does this count as the Internet Advancement paperwork to get my patches free?" The reply was, "Nope, you still have to pay."
