My boys are making dinner on Tuesday as they finish up requirements for the Cooking challenge badge. I found a great site that has some excellent resources so...
I understand all of the requirements for these two badges except for two. I guess I'm just not quite getting it. The requirements state only one badge may be...
... This means that if the troop/pack/individual chooses a different specialty each year, they can still only wear one specialty badge, not two. ... This means...
That's the only interpretation I could come up with as well. I just don't undrstand it though. What's the problem with wearing two badges if you did two...
Well, Yesterday, I received the final nail in the proverbial coffin. I received an email from my local AC telling me that no groups need me, and thanks for my...
OMG!!!!!!!!! They didn't. That's almost RUDE!!!!! And say next year when/if they lose some leaders and are looking for YOU, you can show them the cold letter...
At the risk of maybe sounding rude myself, I just have to respond to this. Writing a letter to Scouts Canada, well when it doesn't sound like you have...
... I feel the same way, Although I will let you decide. Below is the letters, names of people, groups, and areas have been removed _________________________ ...
Micheal, Those letters seem fine to me. From what I have seen in our area and have read on e-mail lists like this one, sections are closing and groups are...
... If I were in your position, I'd start the BPSA group. You can get lots of helpful advice from those who have already done so. Go to their website--there...
I REALLY don't think that you should do this unless your attitude has changed. If you do not have the resources to advertise opeings in your section in an...
... I do believe it is over my head now. Maybe later on, not quite so. ... I do not see this as being hard on me. Most people would not jump in a lake if the...
... OK, So, instead of going to National, I should contact region and find out what is going on? Besides ordering anything, the field rep is the only Regional...
Thank you for your input. I have yet to decide what to do. When I was thinking about what I should do, I listed them in order of what I would likely do. 1) is...
We started using a duty roster in earnst last year, and found once the kids realized it wasn't going away, they actually started to LOOK and see what they were...
That's an interesting idea. At our Cub camps we have a six detailed to help cook each meal. Other than that we send them all off for firewood collection, or...
... Hash: SHA1 ... It looks like Micheal is experiencing a serious version of a widespread problem in Scouts Canada. Generally speaking, young Scouters are not...
Liam, Liam I must disagree with your statement and personally am a little offended by you stating, "experiencing a serious version of a widespread problem in...
... wrote: Sandi, I would ask how old you are, But, that would be pointless. ... Lucky you. We you ever involved when you were under 25... under 20? ... ...
You know it is funny, ,Micheal, you seem to have an answer for everything and anything that is suggested sincerely by the Scouters on this form...I wonder if...
... It is not that I have an answer, it is that certain things I already have tried. ... I will never say it is not me. I dont doubt that part of the problems...
I think the problem is more wide spread then most people are willing to accept. "Seeing young leaders respected" is different than being a young scouter and...
I have been a leader since I was 24 and in 17 years I have never felt disrespected nor ever observed younger leaders being disrespected. I do not think this is...
I have been a leader (head of Beavers for 5 years) for six years now and I have found that our "old" Scouter is in his 70's and he is a tough one to crack. He...
... Let's turn this around a bit why don't we? Why does your question suggest something that "should" be done as opposed to something that "could" be done? How...
... Should, Would, Could..... I should have put Could but, I assume that any idea a leader says to me in person, I would take. I also assume that any idea that...
... Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone, Beta 2 of the ScoutDocs Scout Camps Map is out. It now works in all web browsers supported by Google Maps, including Safari....
I don't understand your reasoning Micheal. If a new Leader joins the group it is because we have decided we want to have him with us. AND IF he has a new idea,...
Micheal, It is good to see that you appear to be taking at least some of the advice that we offer to you on this list. I hope that you do not treat the older...
