le Voyageur 72 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Just a few.... A 15 passenger van safety training program to be conducted at the Council level. Units operating vans must show proof of training for trip tickets to be approved. Paint ball guns not to exceed a pressure level of 60 psi Slope angles for mountain boarding not to exceed a 3 percent grade. Cub Scouts, and Webelos use of jump rocks, and rope swings forbidden...

dg98adams 18 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 And how do you come by these pending changes..... Link to post Share on other sites
moosetracker 132 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Paint ball guns not to exceed a pressure level of 60 psi This one seems odd.. I thought paint ball was a banned activity. Or is it ok to use a paintball gun on a target, just not a person and they are limiting the pressure level of that? Link to post Share on other sites
Eagledad 2779 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I am getting old, the only thing I understood there was the 15 passenger vans. Anything new on throwing horse shoes? Barry Link to post Share on other sites

Adam S 10 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 LOL The 15 passsengar van was plausible. The paintball thing seems odd since the safety is measured by muzzle velocity of 200 FPS or below, NOT by pressure... 3% angle for mountain boarding (skateboards with knobby tires) is another tip off Thanks for the laugh!

RichardB 220 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 On a serious note - If any of you call or email about this I will now at least know where it came from. Second serious note: Put up your best practices if you are proud of them - www.myscouting.org Thrid point - elevated water entry (ala rope swings) does have water entry height restrictions for cause. Not so serious (well sort of) We continue to evaluate the hazards, risks and rewards of roasting marshmallows........ Link to post Share on other sites
Basementdweller 608 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Next week scout flips flaming marshmallow into tent causing tent to catch on fire. The next version of G2SS will ban tents and roasting marshmallows. Link to post Share on other sites
RichardB 220 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The tent was just a victim in prior analysis, thanks for identifying it's active role and the need to eliminate the exposure. Link to post Share on other sites

skeptic 995 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Taking shoes from horses is inhumane and violates the fifth point of the Scout Law. Before throwing the shoes, they must be documented to have not been taken from an unwilling horse. Link to post Share on other sites
Basementdweller 608 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 So is it ok to throw the shoes while still attached to the horse??? Link to post Share on other sites
Beavah 205 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Nah, forget horses. I think it's a travesty that the BSA still does not have a ban on dwarf-tossing. It's just what people would expect from a discriminatory organization, to continue to allow this "sport." Link to post Share on other sites
Basementdweller 608 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 OMG beavah, choked on my coffee. Link to post Share on other sites
skeptic 995 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Basement; yes, if you are able. Beavah; guess the same goes for elf bowling. The PETA, or similar org, must have stepped in to get rid of it at Christmas. Understand that it was found to be corrupted. Link to post Share on other sites
