LeCastor 641 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 As far as I know I don't know any of you but I sure do appreciate the discussion and advice. I've only been a Scouter for 1 year and a Scoutmaster for 7 months. There's so much to learn and you all have helped me a great deal. It would be nice to meet you in person at an event somewhere...

SR540Beaver 116 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I know EagleDad. We met here, found out we were in the same council and met back around 2004 when I was helping start a new troop and picked his brain on boy led. I tried to meet up with Eamonn at the 2005 Jambo, but kept missing him at his campsite on the far side of camp. I am "friends" with a number of our posters here on facebook.

Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I have corresponded with a few much more experienced folks and got some help from a couple which was very very appreciated considering my Scouting inexperience. The discussion I have here has helped me frame issues better for our Troop scouter and committee meetings. Even when I don't agree. I am one of those "on the one hand but on the other hand" guys.

SR540Beaver 116 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 BTW, Scouter-Terry gave a few of us the blessing to create a facebook group with the name "The Scouter dot Com Facebook Group". Search for it and join it if you'd like. I'd post a link, but I'm at work and facebook is blocked. Link to post Share on other sites
le Voyageur 72 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Been in contact with Old Gray Eagle because of our interest in re enacting, but I've never met him in person. Overall, a pretty good guy... Link to post Share on other sites
CalicoPenn 729 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I am the servant of the power behind the Nothing. I was sent to kill the only one who could have stopped the Nothing. I lost him in the Swamps of Sadness. His name...was Atreyu! (the correct answer to that exact question - at least in the Neverending Story). no, I have not met anyone on this forum, as far as I know.

Scoutfish 16 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I see DLChris71 at round tables and at a camporee/ IOLS training session. Keep meaning to start up a converaation, but we( scouters in my district) are known for getting sidetracked and having so much fun at everything we do, so we end up running over time. By the time I look up, at least half the crowd has left, and you are trying to leave because the other half will keep you there another hour if you let them. Link to post Share on other sites
BDPT00 41 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I know four for sure. Only one knows me here. BDPT00 Link to post Share on other sites

Kudu 186 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I met Buffalo Skipper when he camped at McGregor Smith back in January: http://www.scouter.com/forums/viewThread.asp?threadID=337036 I'll be at Camp Thunder, GA the week of July 8th, 2012. Link to post Share on other sites
Papadaddy 121 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 No one. My family roots are in OGE's neighborhood and I've been in the church where his troop meets. But we've never met, regrettably. Link to post Share on other sites
pchadbo 60 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I know two people on here IRL (yes I will admit it in Public Moosetracker) and would like to meet others. . . Link to post Share on other sites
sailingpj 18 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I've met one person. Even got a chance to see his collection of Sea Scout patches. Most anybody who actually knows me would pretty easily be able to connect me to me. The neverending story was a great book. I was not a huge fan of the movie though. It is hard to capture such a magical world onscreen. Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I have met a couple of people who are no longer active but do seem to read what's going on. I this because of the emails they send me. There are a few forum members from that big Council next door that one of these days I feel sure I'm bound to run into. There is one member that used to work in that Council who I think I might have met or at least been in the same room as. One year I'm going to make it to the Celtic Festival that they have in OGE neck of the woods, not sure I'll manage any haggis? But I'm good for a couple of traditional Irish songs. If OGE is into eating a haggis, I'll be there for moral support. Ea. Link to post Share on other sites
Eagledad 2779 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I was the one who had dinner with Oaktree and his son this week. My only regret is I didn't read my Email earlier so we could have more time talking about scouting stuff. I know it sounds kind of silly, but you know scouting goes deep in the soul when two grown men who never met before stand for a few hours accross the street of the Oklahoma University campus mainly talking about scouting. I must say Oaktree, I also very much enjoyed watching a proud dad smile as he talked about his kids. I love this scouting stuff. Barry Link to post Share on other sites
