The Latin Scot 961 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I would like too, but it's still too early to tell. Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutmaster Teddy 58 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I was just offered an extra adult spot my lodge was awarded. I'm pretty excited. Edited January 22, 2018 by Scoutmaster Teddy Link to post Share on other sites

HelpfulTracks 478 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hello to all those at NOAC. It would be cool to have a meet up while here. If anyone is interested and has an idea of where to meet, let us know. Link to post Share on other sites
Setonfan 52 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Have been enjoying NOAC this week. Some rain, but weather cleared up and has been nice. All very well organized from what I’ve seen, smaller than last one, but the “normal” size didn’t seem to diminish the quality of the events, shows, etc. All seem to be having a great time, as am I. Wide range of Scouters here, from Council Presidents to Scoutmasters, to those super involved OA advisors. Youth leaders very impressive, their speeches have been awesome and inspiring. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Setonfan 52 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Guess no one else is here from the forum, but this has been awesome. Interesting all here seem to be all in favor of girls joining Scouting. Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting all here seem to be all in favor of girls joining Scouting. Thanks for being our guy on the inside. O/A Chiefs tried to be in the vanguard in the nineties by honoring female Explorers. But their advisors at the time closed that loophole. That's when all of the a-program-for-Boy-Scouting claptrap became dogma. I'm glad to hear that attitudes have shifted. But I suspect some of that is due to those who wanted to exclude girls without saying so moving on to other organization. We can only hope the program along with the people in it engages today's girls (and their brothers). Link to post Share on other sites

Can they use their regalia? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutmaster Teddy 58 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I was there. Super busy though. It was my first NOAC so I attended as many seminars and events as I could. I was especially intrigued to join the LodgeMaster developer group to see what I can contribute after spending the last 20+ years in enterprise applications. I met a lot of devoted Scouts & Scouters throughout my travels at NOAC. We took a charter bus from the Illowa Council. The ride there was uneventful. The ride back was very warm at first with the AC being out on the bus. The AC was eventually repaired. "NOAC" on the way home was referred to as "NO AC." 1 Link to post Share on other sites
