define horseback ride

[trainerlady 10]

G2SS says TCs can't ride at scout events or camps. But if the scout rides with 4H or privately, or maybe even owns his own horse he can ride. There are no restrictions on where the kids earn beltloops or pins. The guideines don't say you have to do it at a scout event/meeting/outing.

 

If kids had to earn eveything within the scouting environment then my scout shop would ose a heap of money each month.

Trainer lady... I concur! At least 70% of my son's acheivements have been earned at home, out with family or just not in a den/pack setting.

 

Granted, maybe I take the scouting thing too far, but every museum, historic site, every woodworking project around the house or even shopping for a car for my wife was a lesson outlined in my son's Bear book.

 

If you really put an effort into it, anything can be a FUN learning/ educational experience that actually adhears to BSA guidlines!(This message has been edited by scoutfish)(This message has been edited by scoutfish)
