acco40 95 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 On a related thread, the merits of how to get the youth (and adults) to wear the proper uniform were discussed. One of the possible methods was to conduct uniform inspections. The question I have is why the registration cards are not a part of the adult uniform for leaders. They are a part of the youth uniform inspection (5%) but not for adults. Does anyone care to guess why? Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Old Guy 11 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Could it be that adults are less likely to lose their cards? I have mine right . . . . well . . . it was here . . . oh yeah, I know where it is. I'll go get it. Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 The answer is more then lightly the same as the answer to the Venture App.question. I do carry my card and use it a lot to get 10% discount at Gander Mountain. Our local has Thermorest pads with 30% off. I used my card last night. Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyD 10 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Just wondering do all gander mountains give that 10% disscount i always go up there during a gun show at pennsdale twice a year and I see young scouts selling candy bars and i buy one . I was wondering if its the same one up nea lycoming mall. Link to post Share on other sites
Adrianvs 10 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Good question. It seems to be much more likely for an attending adult to be unregistered or a former "quasi-member" than a youth. Link to post Share on other sites
dsteele 20 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I don't knonw the official answer to the registration card as part of the uniform inspection for youth as opposed to adults, but I can lay out some basic odds that may shed some insight: Odds that an adult will put his/her registration card in a wallet or purse or other safe storage -- 85% Odds that a Cub Scout or Boy Scout will put his registration card through both the washing machine and dryer -- 85% There may be a correlation there.

hops_scout 9 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hey now! I resent that;) No actually it was just my school ID that I put through the washer and dryer;) My membership card got ruined b/c it WAS in my wallet during day camp. We played tug a war after it rained for two days;) My white shirt I got is now a nice brown color:) Link to post Share on other sites
fotoscout 15 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I think that the difference makes for a great trivia question! Link to post Share on other sites
ScoutNut 147 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I feel lucky just to see my card before it has expired for the year! My council is not real good about getting them out, to the boys or adults. Link to post Share on other sites
