ericjude 10 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I've been lurking for a while and have thoroughly enjoyed the discussions and information in the forums. I have about seventeen years experience in scouting: three years in Cub Scouting; seven years as a youth in Boy Scouts (including four years on summer camp staff); seven years as an adult leader (ASM and SM). I'm a member of the Evangeline Area Council Eagle Scout Class of 1986 and a brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Scoutalot 10 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Welcome. Are you scouting in the Pine Burr Area Council? I moved back to Tennessee from the Hattiesburg area about 1 1/2 years ago. I saw the story in Scouting magazine about outside scouters working on Camp Tiak. Wondering if you could provide a status report. Link to post Share on other sites
SemperParatus 1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Welcome to the discussions! As part of your initiation, we will be strapping you to a wood pallet and towing you behind a Dodge Ram at 50 miles an hour. Sound like fun? How did yo'all fair with Katrina?

ericjude 10 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Katrina did do a number on us, but things are getting better every day. Camp Tiak lost about 1/3 of its trees. It's strange standing on the porch of the dining hall and being able to see about a mile through the trees. Scouts and scouters from two councils came down to help with the cleanup and recovery: NCAC at the end of October; Bay-Lakes WI during our regular winter camp in December. I've heard about the sled races ... I think I'll pass in favor of being tapped out for OA ... the tap out only hurts for a few minutes afterwards! Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Welcome to the forum. Leave it to Semper to tie in one of our latest fiascos as a new initiation ceremony. We'd never do anything like that to you. Now, report to the snipe hunt at 10:00 this evening and you'll have a full appreciation of what we are about. Link to post Share on other sites
ericjude 10 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Dare I ask what a snipe hunt is? Link to post Share on other sites
SemperParatus 1 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 EIKY'mon, I do believe that our new friend has not ventured far from the confines of Southern Mississippi where, as everyone knows, the snipe population was completely obliterated in the 17th century from the great snipe flu. Perhaps a field trip to the wilds of Kentucky where the snipe are plentiful and plump is in order. Link to post Share on other sites
ericjude 10 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Perhaps a post of clarification is in order ... I know what a snipe hunt, in the traditional sense is. However, I am afraid that I am ignorant in the Scouting version. Perhaps someone can enlighten me? Link to post Share on other sites
