With respect, Bill, I have to disagree. Under your standard, the Roundtable Commissioner couldn't cut off someone who was droning on and on because it might...
I have to agree, if this is Hazing we might as well cut out everything fun then. Singing a song equals hazing, I don't think so. Beside everyone up there...
Whether or not the Announcements Song is hazing or not, it's certainly rude. Is that what we want to teach our boys? I'm always a big proponent that people...

Thanks, Sean. Actually, your examples are exactly what I am talking about -- they *aren't* examples of rudeness. "Rudeness," like "hazing," is not a morally...
I am starting to become concerned. It appears that now intent is more important than actions. while to some degree, intent has to be considered, someone who...
I was thinking about this earlier tonight. I was reminded of a song that is sometimes sung when a person shows up late for something. The group sings "Here...

I will have to say I totally agree with this statement. As a public speaker you have to learn to deal with all kinds of interruptions and impromptu situations....

I have scouts that love to sing the little tea pot song. They get a kick out of having fun in the spirit of scouting. Remember if they do not want to sing...
Debbie has hit on an issue that really *is* training related -- aside from the substance of Scouting, to what extent do we (or should we) give leaders any...

Brenda, In my short 11 years of experience with CS RT's I'll tell you that I never saw anyone got bored by an announcement song, however I have seen many...
