Knight 10 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 By the way, Bob White, I'm just offering this as a light-hearted item with your name because people seem to like to give you a hard time for being able to correctly follow the rules. Hopefully, it provides a few chuckles to you and others. I highly value all of the great insights and advice I receive from the information provided by you and others here. It is immensely helpful.

shortridge 184 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 BobWhite has been silent here since Jan. 6, which seems a bit out of character. Anyone know if he's OK? Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I can't speak for Bob, but he has taken time off before. Love him or hate him, Bob simply tries to provide accurate information based on the materials the BSA produces. Many people like to make it up as they go and reinvent the wheel in the belief that they know better. Said people give him a lot of grief for his efforts and I think it gets old and he takes time off. I imagine we will see him down the trail. Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah Bob does give information based on BSA materials. But you always get his interpretation of what they mean & he spouts them as gospel. Link to post Share on other sites

Stosh 3452 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 While the quote is great, where this thread is is going is totally inappropriate. Stosh Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I tried to turn it around Stosh, but the responses kind of proved my point. Link to post Share on other sites

CNYScouter 46 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 "Damn the Rules! Call it an experiment!" - Lord Baden-Powell I think this quote is no longer applicable. After 100+ years is Scouting still an experiment? Link to post Share on other sites
