Sorry i didnt post the site address. http://hrctroop48.webs.com/ thanks

Hello i am just simply looking for some feedback on how our troop website is looking. I know it could use a little updating. What I am looking for is feedback on the design and functionality of the site. Any suggestions would also be appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Hello everyone. I am looking to complete some of the JSP sets from the 2001 Jambo. I am looking for the "Simon Kenton Council", "Burlington Council"(The Dragons), "National Capital Area Council' (12 points of the scout law), There may be others but i cant think of any right now. Please let me know. Thank You

Im looking to organize all my patches to be able to show to the Troop everything i have earned while a scout. I figured that the best way to store and display is in a binder. Does anyone know where i can get the pages other that through BSA and Ebay?

believe it or not sending a card is a great idea. He will really enjoy it and appreciate it since u took the time to write it.

thank you everyone for your reply's. I have another favor to ask though. we also want to have the boys plan a long distance trip maybe somewhere in the country. we only have 1 1st class scout so high adventure is out for the time being. Again thank you very much.

ok im looking for a list of historical trips in the north east. im not too worried about traveling. we have are yearly planning meeting coming up really soon and im looking to offer the boys some historical options. also if there is any additional information reguarding these trip (such as contacts, Where we can stay the weekend, and stuff like that) please feel free so send me a message. also feel free to give as many as you can think of. it would be a great help to me. thank you all very much. YIS Rob You can email me at ratboy1571@optonline.net

can you give me some ideas to bring to the commetee about this. i understand how this needs to work but i dont know what the right questions are. thanx

thank you all very much. heres another question. how should money get split up among the boys? is there a percentage they can get? how should this work? im working on implementing all this in to the program i made for this. thank you all again.

i must say that the ADD or ADHD thing has gone WAY out of control. however, i can sympathize a little with the scout. myself being ADHD since i was 7 (now 21) i understand that sometimes it is hard to control your actions when you cant even focus on your own thoughts. But in all seriousness pulling a knife is not something an ADHD kid would do. Out of anger maybe but not because of ADHD. i remember that i got on peoples nerves all the time. and when someone did something back to me i always got some kind of punishment for instigating. no one has ever pulled a knife on me so i dont know how i would handle this. Pete this is a serious issue. in the old days your scout could have been asked not to come to the first few scout meetings. but today i think i wouldmaybe take his position away if he had one because i would think that the scouts wouldn't want a kid to lead them if he is going to act like that. Another thing i would do is take his totin-chip away and tell him he cant get it back for some time. and according to BSA he must do the training again. also the bullying must be delt with to help prevent future incedents. this will be tough but it must be delt with. Good Luck

4 years ago we started a troop and since then i always pushed that the adults should eat whatever the patrols make. although we dont seem to eat as well, the boys in our troop see the need to do there best to satisfy the leaders. myself being very close to their age(only 21) i find the boys always trying to make the best food possible to get me to eat with them. (believe me they do everything in their power). personally i like when the adults eat with the scouts. it gets us involved with there learning. everytime i eat with them i tell them where they could improve. however, i must say, when i tell them they should do something better. the next time i eat with them its usually quite a bit better. when i was a scout i remember having the ASM's eat on their own. i both liked it and didnt. i wanted to show them that i could do it and how good i was. but i also wanted them to leave me alone. so it can work both ways.

we have yet to do it this year. but as soon as we do ill tell you how it goes.

I have created an Excel Program which i feel is a very easy way to keep track of accounts. it can hold up to 100 scouts with almost no effort. Each scout has his own account page and that reverts all its information to a main page that shows everything. I may post it on our troop website when i work all the kinks out of it..

Thats very true. since the rise in prices we have also seen a decient sized decrese in sales. we still do the fund raiser but its not what it use to be. on another note. our largest and most profitable fundraiser is our "Coffee Break". We live near I84 in NY. there is a rest area very close to where we live. we get permission from the state and we can go there and offer coffee, cakes, pies, bagles, and whetever we can get our hands on. all we do is put out a donation jar. we never ask people for money. its a great fund raiser and its really interesting to the boys. we have had people come to us and talk about there younger days and some of them were in the scouts or have kids in scouts. we have even had a couple of Government people stop and talk to us. Senator and assembleymen. its a good one to show them how to plan.

what would you do about these issues. im sure i can figure out something about them. just looking for an opinion. anyone else feel free to give me your input. thank you very much.
