Can a Cub Scout den film a public service announcement to demonstrate the safe use of a Talking Stick? Or better yet SNL perform a skit of a Cub Scout den filming a PSA for the Senate?

False Memory Syndrome, Mandela Effect,...where large groups of people remember an alternate history. Learned all about it from X-files this week.

@ItsBrian , I have never heard of the BSA interfering with member involvement in any other youth organization. I have known scouts who were also members in 4-H, YMCA youth groups, rifle teams, school outing clubs, Hugh O'Brian, Civil Air Patrol, ... Anyone have any evidence to the contrary?

Has this Scoutmaster visited your Webelos den meeting yet? Do you have a den chief from his troop? My prediction is you will be recruited to be an ASM.

Ok then, @Col. Flagg and @EmberMike have agreed to disagree. Let's move on. Thanks. @Sentinel947 @NJCubScouter @LeCastor

Okay, thanks for checking.

Whenever my Council starts assessing anything, whether it is merging with another council, selling a camp, minimum FOS contributions,... I worry and act.

Ok then... has this topic run its useful course?

Talking Feather Kit available from Scoutstuff $7.95. Kit includes 12" dowel, fur, feather, sinew, beads, suede lace, and instructions. As the talking feather is passed around, only the person holding it is allowed to speak. http://www.scoutstuff.org/bsa/crafts/other/kits/talking-feather-kit.html

Sharing a campsite has had challenges. Sharing the latrine...

If only we had, I dunno, a common oath, a common law....

Doe this group have any official affiliation with BSA? The patch appears to have no BSA trademarks.

Did you mean three to 6 committee members?

Sen. Collins says she used a 'secret weapon' in shutdown negotiations WASHINGTON) -- Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said she used a "secret weapon" to help end the government shutdown. “I quickly realized that I needed a way to control the debate because senators can be quite loquacious and they always want to be the first to speak. There's a lot of crosstalk and I wanted to make sure that everybody's voice was heard. So Sen. Heidi Heitkamp a few years ago gave me an African Talking Stick that is used by a tribe that is in Kenya and in the Sudan region. And it is used by the tribe to control the debate when they are in meeting and I found that it worked very well.” ... I would hand the stick to whoever was seeking recognition and until that person was finished, no one could interrupt him or her. And then I would take the stick and pass it on to the next person," Collins said. "Occasionally it was tossed to the next person, but it worked amazingly well to ensure that everyone had a chance to be heard.” So what works for Cub Scout den meetings is now being used in Congress?

We have not heard from the OP today. I would like to know more about his Council which may not be Orange County Council.

But was there any legal consequences to that demand back then?

@NJCubScouter sounds like the Pit of Misery.

Rejection happens. Good preparation for the larger rejections to come - dating, applying to college, job interviewing...

IMO cultural trademark and other legal protections will be a growing concern. Hawaiians and Polynesians are upset with recent Disney movies. The Amish have received cultural protection from Pennsylvania. Imagine if Lenape lawyers sent a letter to National regarding licensing fees for the OA? http://digitalcommons.wcl.american.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1038&context=ipbrief

A long time ago before Yoda, there was Yogi Berra.

I'm waiting for confirmation of the OP.

I dunno. What is his Iowa work experience? Agriculture? Manufacturing? Has he lost a job(s), medical insurance, a home? Iowa will decide of course, but I would like to see more new faces enter government.

If true, can express checkout be far behind?

Ask your son. Ask your son who has signed his blue card so far. (His Scoutmaster) Ask your son who he should contact.

Years ago, I did t-shirt transfers for my den. I bought the color t-shirts at A.C.Moore. I used the Hanes t-shirt design software and printed out the iron-on transfer shirts. For the Pack and Troop, i.e. large volume, I just used a local sport clothes supply shop. I did not have any BSA trademarks in the design, just Pack 25 or Troop 54, town name or CO name, outdoor artwork.
