    Around the campfire tonight, I hope all scouters are enjoying healthy vegan marshmallows, gluten-free, high fiber crackers, dark chocolate s'mores.

    Our council gets more revenue from camping fees, activity fees, and golf tournaments than FOS. Their major funding source was once United Way, but that gravy train left the station.

    Yes but if a scout asked and received a contribution from Acme Widgets and then Council walked in and was blindsided, Oh we gave to a scout yesterday. That scout and his SM should duck and cover. Remember a few years ago, Councils tried too late to reel in units with AmazonSmile accounts? Only Council should have an AmazonSmile Charitable Account...hah, what a circus that was. Deja vu all over again with GoFundMe, etc.

    Two different economic realities - National and Council, Council's complaint with online fundraiser accounts is Council loses control of their donors, For example, for years Council has knocked on the door of Acme Widgets and received a large annual donation. Council has prohibited units and scouts from contacting Acme. Now someone at Acme sees a local Eagle GoFundMe and decides to fund that instead. Council makes their annual call to Acme and are told "We gave online to an Eagle project. Have a nice day."

    Im definitely going to fight for everything." Because no one climbs from Cub Scout to Eagle Scout, a journey of about a dozen years in his case, by accident. It requires a remarkable commitment. "When I was growing up, I thought I would not finish because it was just so long and you had to do so much. But my grandma and my auntie wanted me to finish, and I did it. It taught me so much, like how to make something out of nothing.

    Another ASM in my troop carries a pouch of bacon bits for non-desserts and another of semi-sweet chocolate for desserts. He figures you can't go wrong with bacon and chocolate Probably not a "secret ingredient" as I believe I am the only one who likes this: Raisins in scrambled eggs.

    http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/08/08/longtime-santa-cruz-county-boy-scout-camp-to-become-pot-grow/ Camp Lindblad, a 240-plus acre scout camp, deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains was recently sold. "The new owners are planning to convert the property into a healing center and grow site for medical marijuana." I wonder if new owner will allow camp reunions?

    Bittersweet may be next on our cut list. Removal is another matter.
  19. RememberSchiff
    Some of our outdoor service projects involve removal of invasive species. Around here we pull the aquatic water chestnut from local rivers and ponds each spring. Wait later and the work gets messier with the summer algae bloom. Personally I like the project more than roadside cleanup or any trash cleanup.

    Sounds good, we'll all chill and not bring it up again.

    Meant as a joke. There is even a graphical clue.
  23. RememberSchiff
    Yes, huh as in why didn't they show this time. Nice kids but their lives were over-scheduled and Venturing had low priority. No surprise, crew folded.
  24. RememberSchiff
    All trained. The Crew decided and planned their program. Failure to execute was on them.

    President Pence might be asked.
