LovetoCamp 9 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Submitted all my ticket items several days ago. Waiting on my ticket counselor to approve them or put me back to work. If he OK's my work, I'd like him to present the beads, and wouldn't it be a fantastic idea to award them on the Sea Scout Ship Trustworthy out on Lake Michigan in the very near future?

Bob White 20 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 While am am not yet convinced if you are truthy worthy of such a momentous honor I can tell you it takes a few more days than that to get the paperwork through. But one never know what can happen out on the waters of the Big Lake. NOW STOP YER WHININ' ME BUCKO AND GET BACK TO WORK! Link to post Share on other sites
LovetoCamp 9 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 aaargh! Me trustee Mate. Trustworthy has a bad main halyard and won't be available. But, alas, the fine sailing vessel, SSS Loyal, would be a fine, fine platform for such an event. Link to post Share on other sites

SeattlePioneer 144 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I took Woodbadge in 1985, and reported to the Woodbadge counselor that I had completed all the ticket requirements when he called me in 1987. However, I'm still awaiting the awards ceremony. Seattle Pioneer Link to post Share on other sites
LovetoCamp 9 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Yes, but if I don't finish mine....I am certain that I would unmercifully jabbed and ribbed all my remaining days on this earth and then into the great beyond. Link to post Share on other sites
NeilLup 13 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hello Trail Pounder, Congratulations and thanks on completing your ticket. Not to be serious, but, if my memory is correct, the Sea Scout uniform is the one uniform on which Wood Badge beads are not worn. The reason is that it is deemed unsafe to have a leather lanyard tight around one's neck when working on a ship. Sea Scouters are, of course, totally welcome to do Wood Badge. There was once a suggestion of a Wood Badge square knot for Sea Scouters, but that was never approved. I would imagine that might not apply for a passenger on a ship, but I thought the information might be interesting to you. If things get delayed, be sure that your Course Director knows you submitted your ticket. Link to post Share on other sites
LovetoCamp 9 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hi Neil, and thank you for the words and advice. No Sir, I don't think it would be prudent to wear beads while sailing. But, you ought to see us rappell in white! Link to post Share on other sites
stlscouter 10 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Congrats on the neckwear! Trusting you'll be a sail and not an anchor:) Didja get a tatoo yet? Link to post Share on other sites
Vicki 11 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Well, TP, I certainly hope you get your approval and beads quickly! Impending congratulations to you! Just to counter what some have posted here - I finished my ticket in February, submitted it and had my presentation on March 10th. So it doesn't have to take forever...

Bob White 20 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 TP because you have chosen to be an unruly adult regarding this matter I have deiced to delay the paperwork for two weeks . BW Link to post Share on other sites
NeilLup 13 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 To counteract, somewhat, the words of BW, you might be interested that my beads have been presented several times in the 35 years since I first got them (scary thought). When National supply didn't come through and a presentation was scheduled, we came up with beads, neckerchief and woggle. There is no National approval of Wood Badge completion. The approval is at the local council. Link to post Share on other sites
LovetoCamp 9 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Ahhhhh, Mr. White. Possibly the bravest man I have ever met, besides me other matey. After your last adventure on the high seas, when Davey Jones' locker was in view, do you really want to upset me? Link to post Share on other sites
