File an immediate appeal with the Council advancement committee. They are going to override the idiot in a heartbeat. Don't ya hate pompus asses like that

A Webelos 2 scout woul;d not fulfil the requirement until he has met all the Joining requirements.

E, You could name me as the executor of the funds. I promise to spend it wisely, after I get my fee from it, and my new SUV to get around in while I manage the funds.

Its too bad the voting members caved into nationals threat. They should have stuck to their principles and voted no. Do you really think national would have done what they said? I don't, plus I don't think they had the power to do it.

No its not rocket sience, its IDIOT SCIENCE!! Move somewhere else and burn the friggin building to the ground, leave them what the BSA started with, an empty lot

I will bet anyone here they will fold on the training issue once they realize how many units they will lose. Our council tried it and would have lost 30% of units due to untrained SM/CM''s

I heard from a very highly placed source that got the "official scoop" from his buddy who heard it from a guy named Joe, who oh by the way is selling some of the New BSA shirts secretly to those that know the password. Just go down to the corner where Joe stands in the long trench coat. When no one else is around, sidle up to Joe a nd go "psssst, BSA SHIRTS" and when asked give him the secret password. The shirts are neat, kinda off pink in color. Hurry though as, as Joe has a limited supply.

We have always had great success with our space derby. Our track is small and portable, easy to use and store

flowerchild Who ever gave you that lame excuse needs to be called on the carpet. The cards can be produced as a unit recharters. It just requires changing the form in the printer, something they must be to lazy to do.

Alternate requirement must be appoved by the Council Advancement Committee. The troop commitee has no authority any longer, it changed several years ago

I wish people would get rid of that bogus Grey area letter. But I suppose in this day and age it will be on the net forever. This letter is NOT a real letter, never was issued by NE region.

You are covered by BSA insurance for liability no matter whet you do, as long as its an officially sponsored trip/event. TP or no TP.

The thing is we don't know what happened to the other boy. He may have been expelled also and just is not talking about it.

Longhaul, In answer to your question have I or would I incarcerate a young person for first time alcohol use? The answer is no, only beacuse the law doesn't allow it. However Dope is another thing. A first time user can go to Jail for a year. Underage drinking alone doesn't qualify, unless you break some other law along with it. There is nothing like having a pair of handirons slapped on you the first time to open your eyes that what you did was maybe not the right choice.

The thing that amazes me Rikki12 is you seem to not realize the serious nature of the offense these young men did. In this state and in most, the commited a CRIME, that people go to jail for, pay serious fines, and or get other not so pleasent consequences. What would you have the council do, say "Gee its tio bad you broke the law, we forgive you". If they did that what credibility would they have, it may sound harsh to you to ban them, but I think they didn't go far enough. They should have called law enforcement and had them carted off, rather than call the parents. Let the parents pick them up at the local Jail. Then the word would be out there in the staff that these type of actions would not be tolerated. As to the statement the other boy didn't get a letter, maybe he did and is just accepting his actions and not sniviling about it.

I am with Longhaul here, tell us the WHOLE story. Give us the who, why what in total. That said I will tell you as a Judge I have incarcerated first time Pot users. If you commit a crime, be prepared to do the time.

emb021, Those may be your council requirements but they are not Nationals. The only national requirement was 1 leader is supposed to be 18-21. WB has never been a national requirement

The answer is quit using FF and use IE

The problem with any of these places, is cost. You need large warehouse facilities, Medical facilities, water, sanitation, and on and on. They have invest millions at this point. The cost of 2011 will probably double, thereby causing a lot to not beable to go

I looked at this document. I am not sure if its a real document. It has a lot of questionable things about it. Symbols wrong, wrong address, and it has a phone number. National never publishes its numbers like that.

Since COD seems to be going no where, why not get the VOA to design an honors program. Thats what they did with OA and Micosay years ago. Give the VOA the mission and backing and send them charging off.

From what I have seen its not gaining any headway, the youth just don't want it

The restriction only applies to Troops and Packs is what we were shown in the R&R by our registrar. Being in a troop and crew is allowed without a doubt.

any council registrar that accepts a registration knowing that the youth is registered already in a similar type unit is violation nationals registration rules
