WOW!!! Talk about a thread hijack!! From talking about Eagle Boards of Review to musicals Thanks for all of the responses. Macy

WOW! Look at all of the responses. I didn't think that it was that much of a hot button, but I'm happy that some 9including me and my son) got some help from it. Now, when my son gets asked by his fellow scouts about his Eagle board of review, he will be able to guide them even more. Thanks again.

I'm sorry if my statement about you "scout types" bothered you. That was not my intent. I just didn't like almost being accused of not posting a truthful post by one person. Sorry Thank you to all. I think I understand now (I just hope that I'm not in trouble with my son for posting this on a publicboard, but I had questions and have been told that this is one of the best places to get your scouting questions answered. That's why it upset me by seeing that some didn't think my questions were real. I will use this information to help my son, so he will be able to help out his fellow scouts. Thanks, MacyM Added in edit: I saw the response from scoutldr after I saved my message. scoutldr, I accept your appology. Thanks I am not a troll, just a mom that had some questions concerning my son's Eagle board of review. Thanks again(This message has been edited by macym)

Thank you. Yes, I am the parent of a Eagle scout candidate. He was not turned down, but I found it hard to understand why they would ask. Now I understand. He has been struggling with his beliefs lately, or lack thereof (his girlfriend is very religious), and he doesn't understand how anyone can believe in something they cannot see, as well as why they (his Eagle board)would ask him something so personal. I guess that it hit a raw nerve. I don't like the statement of the last person, questioning or stating that this was a serious question. I thought that you boy scout types were kind.

It sounds like a neat idea, as long as you can keep the sides fo the pot from getting to hot, it should be OK. What my son's troop did was to put the pot on a metal sheet, so that the flames from their stove wouldn't heat up the side of their pots. Never had a bag break using that method.

What do you think of a Eagle board of review that dares to ask the scout if he believes in a god? Isn't that a violation of separation of church and state? Are they allowed to ask such questions? I can understand questions about scouting stuff, but about a belief in a god is going a bit far, don't you think? Macy(This message has been edited by MacyM)
