Thxcuz 10 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I've been trying to join since October. Finally I can share my thoughts. I have learned so much from this forum. I am a new ACM with a Tiger Cub son in the pack. We are an old pack and after a few years of decline, we are progressing very well due to some great parents. Through this forum I have come out of the closet as a member of the uniform police (not for the kids, but the adults) and my catch phrase has become "the necker goes OVER the collar" . I am excited that I get to wear the uniform again. Now I can afford official pants! When I was a scout it was the first year of the odl's but I wore my cousin's stanfordized pants that were too short. I now have a full uniform as does my son and I'm always on the hunt for used shirts so no boy will be without. Thanks for creating this forum, I am glad to finally be here.

SeattlePioneer 144 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Welcome to Cub Scouts! Personally I consider the Tiger Cub program to be the most exciting year in the Cub Scout program. You just can't beat the excitement of Tiger Cub for almost anything --- for about five minutes, ten minutes tops! Link to post Share on other sites
moosetracker 132 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Sorry you had difficulty getting to join the forum ! I assure you it wasn't me that wouldn't let you join.. I am one who pretty much lets anyone join. Wow you and your son are just at the beginning of the path ! How I envy you.. I hope you both enjoy your years in scouting, and your years of having a common interest through scouting. Link to post Share on other sites
Thxcuz 10 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I also have a 2 year old at home so I'm in for the next 12 years at least! Link to post Share on other sites
moosetracker 132 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 12 years, that only gets your 2 year old to 14... Add 2 to 4 years onto that timeline.. Link to post Share on other sites

Thxcuz 10 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah, I'm aware of that policy but my theory is if you want your necker to look like a bolo, wear a bolo. I tuck my collar in too. I also sometimes sport a garison cap or a campaign hat. I know it's not official since I am a cub leader and as someone who is a stickler for uniforms this makes me a hypocrite but I have an ugly head and a ballcap just doesn't distract people from that enough.
