Are her Cub's advancement records all in order and ready for transfer?

IMO, Council may advise but it the Character Organization's decision.

Things seem back to normal. Another thought, maybe Feedback/Bugs/Errors should be purged with a software upgrade.

The logistics and work flow needed to quickly feed a large group has always interested me.

This started today. I remain listed in right column WHO's ONLINE (See Full List) after I have logged out.

The truth will out. This was a willful and deliberate act of humor by @David CO

The annual Memorial Illumination is "held the first Saturday in December because it provides a maximum amount of darkness and the battlefield leases about half the park to local farmers. The later start gives them time to clear their crops." Nearly 23,000 luminaries are placed to honor each soldier killed, wounded or missing during the Battle of Antietam on Sept. 17, 1862. "It's a tangible way to see 23,000," said Keith Snyder, chief of resource education and visitor services for the battlefield. "This was the bloodiest day in American military history. It's four times D-Day, six times Pearl Harbor and it's so hard for people to understand. So this way, you can drive through six miles of tour roads and see candles as far as you can see, each one representing one of those casualties. It's an amazing sight." "We have about 1,000 volunteers, which to me is the most amazing part," Snyder said. Of the volunteers, the largest are the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, some of whom came from beyond the Tri-State area. Snyder is most happy about the Scouts' participation because one of the battlefield's missions is to get youth involved. https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/news/local/antietam-national-battlefield-illumination-draws-thousands/article_829ca370-d7ca-11e7-bad8-4bc21894a48c.html I will have to see this some day.

Tang, yes! The drink of Astronauts. No Kool-Aid for us. My setting up a kitchen work area before preparing a meal still rolls the eyes of my wife who works the cabinet and kitchen doors to fetch when she cooks.

What's that Leonardo? What about a Lone Scout?

I hope there is a plan and training before there is a "date", but who knows. Shenandoah Area Council is having a Leadership Summit in February . "Topics will include the function and roles of the Council/District committees in support of our Chartered Partners and the expansion of girls of all ages into the BSA." http://www.sac-bsa.org/openrosters/ViewOrgPageLink.aspx?orgkey=2571&itemkey=14403

While a guest on Saturday CBS This Morning's The Dish, Chef Greg Baxtrom talked about cooking in Boy Scouts and how it influenced him in his career. Here is link to video (at 1:38, interviewer asks about culinary Boy Scout training) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-dish-chef-greg-baxtrom He also credited Lipton Onion Dip Mix in a March interview with Bon Appetit All the Boy Scouts’ dads would get into it and try to show off to each other. It started with canned beef stew, and then it turned into making your own beef stew. Then more like silver dollar cooking, where you take something like hamburger and put it in foil with some chopped onions and garlic and lay it on top of the coals and cook it, then open it up later on and eat it. Something tells me that a lot of the stuff we did, they don't do anymore. My dad is the kind of guy who is super hands-on. He's a carpenter, and I built a lot of things with him growing up. There's just this same craft element to cooking, too, and I responded to that more than building cars or a shelf or dresser or cabinet. But it was the same language. So on those camping trips, I made beef stew, soups, chicken noodle soup. One time I made a quiche, which my dad and brother thought was a little strange. When I would really try to show off, I would take the flour we brought, pancake mix, and other things, and I'd try to make some form of a batter. And then I’d pour it into a sauté pan with freeze-dried pineapple, set up a double boiler, and I steamed it. Yes, I made a cake out in the woods. The other campers would canoe by and I would very show-offy present my cake. We were all eating this weird dehydrated-pineapple upside-down cake. It was pretty good! ...more at source link https://www.bonappetit.com/story/lipton-onion-dip-mix

Whence it began in another Issues and Politics thread. Now moved to Patrol Method.

From Lincoln Trails Council (IL), the jpg was named BannerWholeFamily.jpg Click here for more information just goes to a National website.

I split the separate patrol vs troop discussion here. Please try to stay on topic.

Timmy was a Cub Scout. Eddie Haskell was a punk.

As I recall, Opie was a Boy Scout.

Yes. I did with my son.

Welcome to scouter.com @packsabrunch Are there other Cub Scout packs nearby?

Let's see if we can get back on topic.

Move Brady Patrol to its own topic.

Yes. and seemingly more than one definition of "family" and more than ne relationship with the common family. Hard to say which I dislike more Family Scouting or family mentoring (my wording). The latter being where the BSA is telling my wife and I how to be a parent - when to do medicals, what meetings and discussions I should have with my child, ... IMO, "family accessible" emphasizes convenience over quality of program.

Good point. Done.

Ok, I will fix where you strayed. We are talking about reasons for going to Summer Camp. I think attending Provo at camp is good preparation for "going off to college".

Congrats! I see letters, maybe recruiters themselves, from Armed Forces Recruiting magically appearing at his EBOR.
