Eamonn 61 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I kinda think the best part of all WB courses is the interaction between the Scouter's (Staff and participants) If we can put that to one side? What did you enjoy most from the course you were on ? (Particpant or staff) - Old course or new course. Boy Scout or Cub Scout, American or not!! Ea. Link to post Share on other sites
Kudu 186 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 "What did you enjoy most from the course you were on?" 1) The smell of the low-hanging wood smoke in the chilly autumn night as a Wood Badge Patrol one-half mile down the hill chanted their reply to the Eagle Patrol's challenge, "There ain't no flies on us!" 2) The first hard wood shavings catching fire as I started the breakfast fire while the rest of the Beaver Patrol slept through the first light before dawn. 3) On a late night hike following the campfire ceremony, the sound and smell of kerosene drenched rags burning as the SPL used his heavy wood torch to illuminate the single word "Trustworthy" on a handmade sign, then "Loyal" 150 yards down the trail, and so on until the twelve points had each in absolute silence been illuminated by the SPL over the course of a mile.

Trevorum 24 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Personally, I got a kick out of those ladies in their yellow blouses cutting little shapes out of construction paper. Link to post Share on other sites
eolesen 10 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 The networking... My course was out-of-council, and it doubled the number of people outside the troop that I can reach out to for support. Link to post Share on other sites
eagle97_78 10 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I think that the best part was the enthusiasm of the staff at SR-847. They set the mood for the participants. It was just so awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Kudu, Have to admit that # 3 brought back memories!! A very good pal of mine was a participant on a course, which I staffed. This "Scout Law Hike" was done before and leading up to the final ceremony. The ceremony itself was very simple, but it really did impact the people present. I looked at my pal, who is by no means a small fellow. He had tears rolling down his face. The final presentation of the new course is good (Very good) But not as good as that hike and closing. Ea.
