OGE, Based on the form, I agree any type of "a-thons" do not comply with policy. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

OGE, I agree but what is the difference between what 92 suggested and the Bowl-A-Thon held in my district (other than one is walking & one is bowling)? Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Check into Krispy Kreme! We are planning to do this. You can sell donuts. Minimum is 50 doz and you make $2.50 per dozen. They also have partner cards you sell for $10 and make $5 per card. Minimum is 50 cards. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

We just held elections & the candidates were allowed to stand up and talk about themselves. However, they had to stick to their qualities as Scouts & how they live the Scout Aoth & Law in their everyday life. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

We had this problem in the past & we told those who we didn't want that there services were no longer needed and told our COR what we were doing. They agreed but the adults in question resigned before we had to do anything formal through council. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

OGE, Excellent point!

Yup. I got an e-mail about this, too. Good idea!

Bob, I agree with letting the boys choose their patrols but in this case I think it would be better if the ASM's who have been dealing with these 18 new Scouts divide them up. If you let the Scouts do it, the problem might not go away. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Since the ASM's are the ones who have been dealing with this group, I think they should be the ones who do the dividing. I would get the SPL and any other youth leaders involved so they are up to speed with the situation. I would divide them up in a way to creat the best Scouting atmosphere possible. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Ditto to Korea. 18 Scouts regardless of age in on Patrol is just asking for trouble. I would also try to split the "leaders" up. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

I'm there. Anyone care to join me?

Here's a site for our service people in Iraq. http://www.defendamerica.mil/nmam.html

Hello greyfox. I would take the course whereever you can. Woodbadge is one of the best training courses I have ever taken. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

The summer camp we attend (Heritage Reservation) has a Safe Swim Defense & Safety Afloat course every week run by the aquatics staff. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Ditto to all the posts. Keep our servicemen & servicewomen and our allies in this war in our prayers daily. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Our CO is willing to help us in any way needed. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Boy Scouts without a doubt! As a matter of fact, he is more than welcome to join my Troop! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

SOmething wrong in a BSA manual? How can it be? Can we trust nothing anymore? Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

OGE, Considering some think being active = being registered this is very possible. I don't agree that being active = being registered. One must be registered to be active but just because one is registered doesn't mean one is active. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

chucklehead1985, Welcome! Excellent idea. Would it be possible to get a copy of that contract? Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Can they lip read? What about mom or dad going to camp? Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

kwc57, I thinks it's a moot point. If the Scout & interperter are walking around camp together without another adult they are still "in the presence" of other adults not to mention Scouts. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

eisley, If a deaf person has a doctors appointment and requests an interpreter for that appointment and give the doctors office enough notice, the doctors office is required to provide an interpreter. What this does is enables the deaf person to understand what is happening during the visit to the doctors office. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Believe it or not, it is almost impossible to not offend someone with just about any skit! So maybe we should stop skits altogether! That would end the problem & the PC police would be happy! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Bob, It applies to all public accomidations. the whole intent of ADA is to level the playing field. That is to give people with handicaps the same advantages as everyone else. troop_358_potlatch, How do these two Scouts communicate? Are they sign only or do they talk? I feel having an interpreter at summer camp would only get in the way. Scouting is very visual & this is an advantage for deaf Scouts. My son never had an interpreter at summer camp and loved every minute of it! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10
