    Apparently also happened in 1982 there. Four adults sailing, high water level. One died, three injured in that accident.

    Bittersweet may be next on our cut list. Removal is another matter.

    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.

    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.
  14. RememberSchiff
    All trained. The Crew decided and planned their program. Failure to execute was on them.

    President Pence might be asked.
  16. RememberSchiff
    His crew was an unproductive social group. Attendance and success in executing planned activities was lower the Boy Scouts. MOOT seemed to be catered affairs. Not for me, I felt like a chaperone at a high school dance. that said I am sure there are more involved crews out there.

    I think it should be more situation observations of Scout Law by SM/ASM as in your example than a test like tie a knot.. We would have to be creative with situations. So come SM conference, a SM ask scout to recite Scout Law with the SM interrupting at each law, Yes Trustworthy I remember you honored your promise to... Oh helpful, I heard that you have shoveled snow away from hydrants,...But thrifty, I'm having trouble. You lived beyond your budget at summer camp trading post.... Another $0.02

    IMO, there is a disconnect between the Scout Oath and Law and rank Advancement requirements. Rather than Explain Scout Spirit , maybe some observed tests of trustworthy, loyalty, ... of scouts during activities. For example, I have used animals as an indicator of kindness. In my experience, you can tell a lot about a person in how they treat animals. Most scouts will pet a tail-wagging dog, fewer kind scouts will notice his water dish is empty and needs to be filled. My $0.02

    I should be able to drop my wallet at a scout camp, have it found by a trustworthy scout, and returned intact. Knock, Knock, Knock. Huh? Hello Mr. Schiff. Ready to go to Old Scouter Home In Trees?

    I think he was heading in that direction with that monkey business yacht story.

    How many women appear in National BSA org chart and at what level?

    My apologies too. I was slow to respond. Hopefully all reset now. - RS

    In '69, I had a choice between attending the National Jamboree or Philmont. I chose Philmont which was one of my smarter choices as a teen.
  24. RememberSchiff
    Ever notice how "timeless values" change over time? What if after President Trump's speech at Jambo, female interest in joining the BSA dramatically dropped. Er, nevermind.
  25. RememberSchiff
    I have not attended a Jamboree, but we make it crystal we expect our scouts will follow the Scout Oath and Law and the consequences if they do not. Parents are informed. Bullying or theft is ticket home in our unit. I can't remember the last time we had any thieves among our unit. Bullies, yes. Home they went and they chose to leave scouting.
