      Operation Snowshoe

      By OaklandAndy · Posted

      My issue is that they advertised it as a "winter camping experience"...and while I understand the risk, there is also preparation that goes into it and if a family couldn't prepare for the cold, I would think that common sense would tell them to come for the day and not the overnighter. Either way, for those units/families do did prepare (money spent on gear/food), there wasn't even an option to stay overnight.    Small marines...that's a stretch. But I understand the exaggeration.

      Test Lab - Scouts can evaluate potential new merit badges

      This actually seems interesting to me - not just a study of one’s own faith, but of multiple faiths.

      What did they expect? 17 isn’t that low for winter.

      Are you in a council that has a positive or toxic culture or something different?

      By Prime00 · Posted

      The bad thing is that in some areas the paid scouters are running out the volunteers because they question what is going on. By the time they get to the 50+ years old with their kids out of the unit level stuff, they have seen enough of the districts and councils to ask "why do we do this like this?" Many times it's not a slam, just an honest question. The paid scouters get mad and see it as rebellion then they start over reacting to things.

      Operation Snowshoe

      By jcousino · Posted

      wind chills no zero possible on a webelow this is a Webelos event  I am glad they canceled the overnight.   Look at activity level differences between Webelos and scouts. While temp is not a directly  listed thing, common sense comes in here. I would be questioning taking a new scout out also. One error in clothing , sleeping bag or a list of many things could cause one kid to become hypothermic it's putting kids at risk they are not small marines.
