Pack38Scouter 11 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I took the overnighter for what was called BSALT. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It did feel strange being the only "blue epaulette" member of the trainees. We formed two patrols. My Patrol called ourselves the "Aging Armadillos." If Wood Badge is anything like BSALT then I will surely attend ... it's gave me back close to 30 years ... since I was a boyscout! I managed to make 15 grown men and one women act like little boys. Here is our Patrol song that I sort-a-pull together for the campout... Buff the Tragic Dillo (Sing to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon") (Chorus) Buff the Tragic Dillo lived by the street And crawled along the boulevard through rain and snow and sleet. An Old Scoutng Patrol picked on Armadillo Buff, And took him back and filled him up, with grubs and other stuffs. (1) Together they would travel along the avenue They hung him out all by his tail, and swung him till hes blue. Taxi cabs and buses would honk as they went past, Tragic Dillo doesnt seem that he would be long last. (chorus) (2) Old geezers live forever, but not so Armadillos, Dillos can never be a friend to rotten older boys. And on that day it happened while the Geezers took their nap, A garbage truck ran over Buff and turned him into scrap. (chorus) (3) The Old Scoutmasters-to-be said just off the cuff, Lets add it to McFarlands dinner with Armadillo Buff! (chorus) YIS Link to post Share on other sites

wffarrell 10 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 I was an Armadillo in my BSALT training. We won best flag. On the obverse it was an armadillo in profile with a Texas flag superimposed with the eye a star. On the reverse it was a flattened armadillo with a tire track across it and the motto "Don't Tread On Me". Our flag is in the BSALT Hall of Fame. I used to be an Armadillo, a good old Armadillo, too, but now I've finished Armadilloing I don't know what to do. I'm growing old and feeble and I can Armadillo no more but I'm going to work my ticket if I can. I'm sure BP had that in mind. YIS, bill a good old Bear Link to post Share on other sites
