NJ, It's not a value. It's a fact! Homosexuality is immoral. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

YP should be included in every adult leader training session. And now it is available on-line! It's easy to complete and every unit should get ALL their adult leaders to complete the course. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Putting together a resourse such as this is a great idea! It can give the new Scouts AND parents a lot of the information they will need. But this document, pamphlet, etc. must be updated as time goes by. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

NJ, You can post in any topic I start! I like you sense of humor! Ed

Welcome Welcome Welcome! The more Scouts the better! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Just checked with the SM at one of the Catholic churchs in my district & he tells me they are not required to be fingerprinted nor do they need to take a YP program offered by the Catholic church. Must be a local thing. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

"Ok guys let's get the gear unloaded" isn't directing? And it really makes no difference who says it! And just because it isn't in Mr. Blanchards book that way doesn't mean it ain't true! Directing is telling someone to do something. "Ok guys let's get the gear unloaded" is telling someone to do something. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

andrewcanoe, No one is trying to be offensive. We are just stating experiences we have all had. It's not the Scout's fault. But sometimes the other Scouts don't realize that. That's the hard part for a parent to deal with. I have two deaf kids(my son is an Eagle) and know what it is like to be the parent of a kids with a disability. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

silver, Thanks. I agree the CO is within their right to ask what they are asking for. It seems they are maybe running a little scared for some reason. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Ditto to saltheart especially the part about Cub & Boy Scouts being different. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

eamonn, Excellent post! Directing can be used in a positive way. "Ok guy, let's get the gear unloaded" Directing nicely! And there are times Scouts and adults need to be directed what to do! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Wow! Backround checks on all the parents!! Seems a little extreme to me. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the CO by signing the charter required to give the unit a place to hold at least monthly meetings? Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Bob, I know your last post was an attempt at humor, but I found it sacrilegious and didn't appreciate it. That was in bad taste. I know you didn't mean it that way but that's the way it came across. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Welcome! Grab a log & have a seat! Wow! Great idea! The questions matua asked would be the ones I would ask if I were new to the program. Acco40 also has a valid question. Get the answers to those & you will be in good shape. On other thing, with these new parents asking all these questions, why not ask them one, too! Why haven't you filled out your adult leader application yet? Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

RAFontenot2, 1st of all, welcome to the campfire! Pull up a log & grab a cup of joe. I made it myself. 2nd of all, ditto to acco40. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Ya like corned beef? 1 corned beef brisket 2 large cans of saurkraut mashed potatoes cook the brisket per instruction on the package. let cool & slice in a dutch oven, layer the corned beef, saurkraut & mashed potatoes until the oven is full. Cook until done. Good meal! Ed

We don't have patrol outings, either.

benny, I don't know if I would recommend new elections. I don't think the results would be different. How about recommending to the PLC the SPL & PL's get together & decide on the APL's? Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

We have Troop t-shirts. Last Christmas I was presented with one that had Scoutmaster printed on it. I was touched! I love it! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

I'll give you candy if you vote for me. I'll do my best if you vote for me. What's the difference? The 1st is a bribe. The 2nd isn't. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

While I agree with ASM7, we elect the ASPL, too. We don't use APL's. I have never bought into the "If they were elected, the PL or SPL might find himself trying to work with someone he can't get along with or can't handle the job." The Scouts need to learn to work & play well with others. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

If in fact this is true, I would convene the PCL & let them hammer it out. that's their job. I was also under the impression this position was appointed by the PL? Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Maybe because there isn't any meaning to the points????????
