drmicrowave72 10 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I thought I would put this out there. Ever Year we have a WB Noureunion. So how about a Scouter Forum nonreuion. I had talk to a member and the comment was made about meeting and talking to some of the forum members. I know there will be some problems with this. Like a time and a place to meet and spend a weekend in a face to face forum. There is a Church Camp in the Kansas city area. Or maybe a Scout Camp. close to a large City. May be this has been bought up. YIS drmicrowave72 Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 A NON-reunion? To me that implies not attending something or bypassing a reunion to do your own thing with a few people who also don't want to go. Link to post Share on other sites
drmicrowave72 10 Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 I am sorry I call it nonruniion because not every one can make it to a reunion. so maybe call a get together YIS Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 We kinda, sorta tried this at the 2005 National Jamboree. I meet a few fellow forum members. Sadly not very many. While a lot can be said for poor planning, bad communication, I know for my part I seen my role at the Jambo as serving the Scouts I had with me. The guys /girls that were on staff were busy doing their jobs. So it never really got off the ground. I have never really looked at where the greatest number of forum members hail from? But I somehow think even if they were all close I would if I had an extra weekend, spend the time with the Scouts in the Ship rather than attend a reunion. I'm not sure if I will be at the 2010 Jamboree? At this time I think its un-lightly. However I think this would be the time and place to try and meet other forum members. If someone wanted to come up with a time and a location. Eamonn.(This message has been edited by Eamonn) Link to post Share on other sites
hops_scout 9 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 E, how am I supposed to throw you off the tower if you're not there?!? In all reality, I don't know that I'll be there either. What Eamonn said is right though. The best time is probably Jamboree and it's tough. I met two or three that I previously knew online. Link to post Share on other sites
Gonzo1 10 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think it's more doable than not. But, it is something that should be considered on a geographic basis. For example, scouters in New England might meet at one place while others in the Southeast meet at another, and so on. We could have a gathering at some scout camp or National Forest area and see how it goes and then plan other campouts from there. I'm for it, but it should definitely be by reservation to determine how many campsites would be needed. Someone could arrange a weekend through their council office, each person brings their own food or contribution of food for the common good. Bring your gear and a dozen pieces of firewood (our area scout camps get picked over pretty well for fuel wood) and enjoy. Gonzo1 Link to post Share on other sites
local1400 10 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I've noticed that many people do not list a location in their profiles and myself have only listed a region of my beautiful state( I can see Mt. Washington if I lean way out the porch of my apartment). While meeting some would be interesting for sure, there certainly have been some heated discussions!

baden 10 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Jamboree reunions are hard to pull off. I attended a Mic-O-Say gathering in 97 but was unable to get there in 01 and 05 due to work assignments at the Jambo. We tried for a mini-reunion of my Wood Badge patrol in 01. We are scattered all over the country and 4 of us were at the Jamboree in different areas. We didn't manage to get all 4 of us together at one time, but everybody eventually met up with each other. A reunion of forum members at the Jamboree in 2010 could be scheduled, but not everyone on the forum who is interested would be able to make it due to responsibilities and the physical distance some may have to negotiate on foot.

evmori 11 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 local, If you eat a couple Primanti sandwiches you will never leave! You'll be stuck on the latrine! A blessed New Year to all Link to post Share on other sites
Gonzo1 10 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Local, C'mon! Packsaddle is a good guy. I admit, I didn't think so at first, sorry Pack, but he and I have exchanged numerous PM's, email, snail mail. He's really quite a nice guy, maybe a little misunderstood......... like me. I even got a Christmas card from him in the mail. Some of my post, particularly those in the WB area tend to tick off a bunch of people. I wouldn't mind coordinating a gathering in the Southeast. There, I said it, I volunteered for something! Gonzo1 Link to post Share on other sites
