"extremely well-established and suppoted scientific theory" regardless of how well established & supported, it is still a theory therefore, not proven fact. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

LOUD GUFFAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think I said this before. Living things don't evolve, they adapt. Ideas evolve. The theory of evolution is just that - theory. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Stew in an onion. 1 large onion cut in half don't peel ground meat or stew meat seasoning to taste cheese veggies Remove all but the last two outer layers of the onion. Place ingredients inside & place on coals. Excellent, tasty & no clean-up! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

red, Tried it. Hate it. Would rather have my eyes pulled from their sockets through my ears!

Ditto to my buds OGE & youngblood. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

LOUD BARFING NOISE

Or as it was approprialty put in a Month Python skit "I don't like spam" Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Like NJ said, you won't find the leadership books on-line. It would be a good idea, however. If the BSA could work out a way that we could pay a fee to use these resources on-line would be great! As far as bylaws, my Troop has them. We put them in place a long time ago to really deal with behavior problems with the Scouts. We have only had to enforce them 1 time in the last 15 years. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

In the garbage! Next to head cheese, spam is the most disqusting food product ever made! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

dan, BALOO is training for Wolves & Bear leaders. WOLT (Webelos Outdoor Leader Training) is for Webelos which is not mentioned in the G2SS. I will still take 2nd year Webelos on camping trips with us. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

We recruit this way. WE require that at least 2 parents go on the camping trip with us. This way we can spend time with them & explain our program. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

I thought it referred to money since the title of this thread is $$$$$$$. OGE, Excellent! My son is an Eagle & he has been given opportunities because he is an Eagle. Yes priceless is an accurate term. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

"The youth may benefit to some degree with the Yugo method but along the way the learns more bad things than good. What's he learn? Look for the easy way. Don't worry about doing it right. Requirements are for others. The goal of Scouting is an Eagle. Advancement is the most important thing." Using the Yugo method they can learn the meaning of thrifty, using your resources, etc. Costlier isn't always better. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Yugo or Mercedes, either way the youth benefits. Money shouldn't be an issue. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

youngblood, Right on the money. Ditto to Rooster7 on the good stuff. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

ScoutParent, Sounds like you did what you had to do. It's too bad you had to go so far to accomplish this. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

There seem to be more rules geared to being PC. Example, we were told we can't use the acronym PADBALLS to help teach the swimming merit badge because of the word BALLS. Huh? I agree that some of the rules are driven by parents complaining about one thing or another. I feel our focus as adults should be what is best for the Scouts with common sense applied. Some of the BSA rules are vague & open to interpretation. Also, there are guidelines that some interpret as gospel. Guidelines are just that - guidelines. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

ScoutParent, While I am glad to hear your problem was resolved, it is setting a dangerous precedent. When the judge ruled, did he make any comments about if there was a policy in writting? Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Not gullible, smart. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

My council pays for nothing. The colunteers do. We pay for our own insurance. But the cost is minimal. It seems the people who think the $3 increase is a lot have other issues & this is just a way out for them. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

We Bible thumpers will tells them the story of Jesus & pray for their and your salvation. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Why do you see if you could be the COR? What a great position considering the circumstances! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10

Children are our future. If that isn't precious, I don't know what is! And for a Scouter to say anything contrary is scary! Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10
