  1. Yes. It is linked from scouting.org Training for Adults page. https://www.scouting.org/training/adult/
  2. Can't speak for instructors, but BALOO is clear page 45 "Make sure all hikers are equipped with plenty of water for the hike." https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/training/pdf/510-033(17)BALOO.pdf
  3. Me too as BALOO states page 45 "Make sure all hikers are equipped with plenty of water for the hike." https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/training/pdf/510-033(17)BALOO.pdf
  4. In 1972, Harry may have been a scout in Wenatchee Troop 7 . The history of Troop 7 goes back to at least 1931 according to the troop's facebook page.
  5. Thanks. I sent an email with your lead to the Wenatchee World reporter who is attempting to find our scout Harry.
  6. Forget the wallet. Can we be a little more Helpful here. After all that Boy Scouts card could be a blue card, the one our Harry needed to earn his Eagle in '72! We need to find our lost scout Harry Larue. First let's check ScoutNet...er, nevermind that will take too long. Let's search behind every tree instead.
  7. Wenatchee, WA workers were renovating the city's public pool facility when they stumbled upon a leather wallet lost 46 years ago. According to The Wenatchee World, the wallet was tucked behind the boys' lockers in the changing room. It contained a few family photographs and a Boy Scouts card that said Harry LaRue lived in Eastern Wenatchee. A reporter with the Wenatchee World is trying to find Harry, with little success so far. In the meantime, the city of Wenatchee has the wallet for safekeeping. http://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/weird/wallet-lost-in-1972-found-in-pool-locker-room-in-wenatchee-washington/83-544535709
  8. You sir are correct. Here is a link to the marketing group photos. http://tidewaterbsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ Scout with glasses original photo. Another Scout in above photo shoot.
  9. Speaking of Penn State football and liability, Penn State has a home game (Beaver Stadium) with Kent State on Sept 15, with the theme All-University Day, Community Heroes Recognition, and Boy Scout Jamboree. "All Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts are invited to attend our annual Scout Celebration. Prior to the game, all Scouts are invited to attend the Nittany Jamboree at Medlar Field -- a pre-game fair with Scout-related activities. Interested Troops and Packs can purchase special ticket packages at a reduced rate by calling 1-800-NITTANY. " http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/042018aab.html Last year reservations were made through Bucktail Council http://www.bucktail.org/Events/Penn State Football Scout Day
  10. I preach, give each child what she or he most needs by the method most appropriate for that child.
  11. Perhaps more relevant in adult training. The mind will only absorb what the butt can endure. "The longer you have to sit, the less concentration you are going to have to learn. Also, we were always given the idea that you don’t tell people what to do, you ask them if they would like to do it. I think you have to be able to read people and know if it is going to work or it isn’t. " http://www.squamishchief.com/community/about-a-couple-of-squamish-volunteers-1.23270681
  12. A lot of hysteria over the OP hearsay. This is a safety issue. We occasionally tear corners of a Totin Chip card but more frequently we immediately take away the object that is not being used safely and that intervention is not deterred by the presence of others. No songs, rather retraining. This is made clear to parents so we are all on the same page. My $0.02
  13. Perhaps you are thinking of Scouting University? Nano Studies is a serious course of study at real colleges.
  14. Along that thought, maybe units should first check adult leader availability before sending out permission slips to scouts.
  15. “There is no need to tell someone how to do his job if you have properly trained your team” Major Dick Winters
  16. Agree with rotation. Having different adult reviewers as a scout advances through the ranks goes hand in hand with adult association method. Mix it up, keep everyone sharp. If you decide to downsize your Troop Committee, you might start with CC. My $0.02
  17. @lewalskeet welcome to scouter.com. Be aware you are responding to an old topic in a scouting forum where the Scout Oath and Law apply...Friendly, Courteous, Kind,... RS @NJCubScouter
  18. Could be. John has a long mustache from Longest Day
  19. Here is an example of a scout diagnosed with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome which to this layman appears similar to Down's syndrome and how smarter scouters delivered on the promise of Scouting. http://www.9news.com/article/news/health/persistence-pays-off-how-boy-scouts-helped-this-little-boy-overcome/73-537236536
  20. IMO, her question appeared to be more about basic parenting than scouting but we moderators allowed it. The same question being posted on College Confidential and a Men's Clothing website is rather odd, though there is nothing wrong with posting the same question on whatever forum will allow it. Your suspicion appears warranted, but we moderators would need proof that she/he was the same person to take action regarding your concern of dishonesty or other violations of Scout Oath and Law. FYI, members usually issue a report on questionable or unscoutlike posts. Last week, I banned a prospective member whose first post was an exact copy of another first post made in January by a new legitimate member. The hacker thought to gain approved access by using a previously approved post. No cigar. @NJCubScouter @LeCastor
