Update: April 3, 2015 Three arrested!! http://www.kait8.com/story/28713008/guns-valued-at-14k-stolen-from-mcdowell-co-boy-scout-camp The McDowell County Sheriff's Office said three men are facing charges after 21 firearms were stolen from a Boy Scout camp in December. Detective Andy Manis said Richard Eugene McKinney, 22, Joel Alan Smith, 42, and Sonny Isaiah Smith, 19, have been charged with felony breaking and entering and larceny after an incident that took place during the weekend of Dec. 15. Manis said the three are accused of breaking into the Boy Scout reservation on Vein Mountain Road in Nebo and stealing the guns, valued at a total of $14,400. Firearms stolen during the break-in include 13 Marlin .22-caliber single-shot, bolt-action competition rifles, four Weatherby 12-gauge shotguns, a Remington 12-gauge shotgun and three Remington 20-gauge shotguns. Twelve of the stolen guns have been recovered. According to deputies, additional arrests related to the case are pending. Scout salute to McDowell County Sheriff's Office

Oh I see you are already aware, sorry I missed that. Thanks for migrating. "The forum migration is missing the last ten days of content. We're sorry for that, and will work to import that content at some point. In the meantime, please just start new threads."

Might as well have a work portfolio. BTW this personalized plate is available

There might be a smart ad campaign for the BSA here around us building the next generation of better leaders. Take photos of scouts asking questions to candidates. No face shot of the candidate, maybe a subtle clues - pant suit must be Hillary, large and in charge must be Christie...

A more detailed write-up here http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf..._den_moth.html The above write-up concludes from the family's perspective "There's not a lot of space (in camper) to do homework," Zachary said, adding that while he doesn't miss the things that were lost to Sandy, he is tired of "things getting ruined from mold, because the walls are kinda wet." Kathleen, who with her husband Andrew Seemar, Sr. runs a commercial bait fish business, says that she's been shoveling snow off their camper's roof all winter, and is keenly looking forward to the day when she doesn't have to haul propane tanks around to stay warm. "After two and half years," she said, "I'm kinda done." And all this family is asking for is a building permit? Below From http://www.app.com/story/news/politi...very/24962755/ (Photo: Mark R.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/0...n_6902060.html The question going into the 2016 Republican presidential primary is whether the prospective contender is strong enough to withstand the persistent criticism over his handling of the state's recovery (following Hurricane Sandy). Protesters recently followed the governor to Iowa, and on Tuesday, a Boy Scout confronted Christie at a town hall meeting in Freehold, New Jersey. The 12-year-old, Zachary Seemar, has been living in a trailer for the past two and a half years with his parents and older brother. According to news accounts, the boy asked Christie why the permit process to allow his family to rebuild its destroyed home was taking so long. After Seemar read from his prepared text, Christie praised him: "That's a lot of pressure. You did very well." Christie went on to explain that each town has its own regulations and process to return residents to their homes. He had Seemar write down his address and promised to have a staffer follow up with him. The governor hasn't always been so kind to those challenging the pace of the recovery. Some 15,000 residents, like Seemar and his family, remain displaced. At a recent event in Iowa, Christie made fun of a protester who is still displaced by the storm and had flown to the event. "My people follow me everywhere ... It's fabulous," the governor joked to the audience. "I'm magnetic. They can't stay away from me." More likely that Christie and his ego are so big that he is hard to avoid. Well done scout Zach, keep asking your questions.

“Everything in camp is now powered by solar,†said Robert Nakagawa, executive director for the Maui chapter of the organization in a press release announcement. “The camp went solar to not only save money and be environmentally friendly, but, to also be a model for our sustainability merit badge and other programs we have.†The annual savings will help Maui County Council to maintain a professional staff person on the island when its capacity building grant expires. Camp Maluhia has 16 cabins that can sleep 230 people. While it is a Boy Scout property, the camp is used more by the general public as a community resource, than by the scouts. It is occupied 60% annually and 95% of weekends throughout the year with peak season running from May to July. http://mauinow.com/2015/03/18/camp-maluhia-goes-solar-425k-savings-expected-over-20-years/ Wonder if I could get the PLC to schedule a camping trip there? Meanwhile, waiting for the warm sunshine here.

So can one skip job history on the application as well so as not to list prison time?

Another difference, our celebrity spokespersons. BSA - Mike Rowe Boys & Girls Club - Denzel Washington I like Mike but Mr. Washington has major league star power. .

Thanks for the update. Just when I thought I understood the concept, I read about Reading.PA town government no longer asking about criminal convictions on employment applications. http://readingeagle.com/news/article...iminal-history Maybe some early April Fool's joke? No, according to the article Banning the box that asks about an applicant's criminal history is part of a national fair-chance hiring initiative to delay disclosure until later in the process, so applicants can be judged on their skills and abilities, not the stigma of past incarceration. Thirteen states and the District of Columbia, as well as nearly 100 cities and counties, have adopted fair-chance hiring policies since 2005. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Lancaster and Allegheny County have done so in the commonwealth. Removing questions about criminal convictions does not prevent employers, in this case the city, from asking or conducting background checks. Huh, so a person with a criminal child abuse background could legally not state his past and apply for a job working with kids and hope the background check is not done or botched ? Did I get that right?

Happy St. Patrick's Day. http://www.scouts.ie/more/about_scouting_ireland/history_of_scouting_ireland-177.html

My understanding post 2002, if a public school no longer gives "open forum" access (excuse could be janitor and insurance costs) to outside groups then a public school can reject a BSA-affiliated group from using their school as there is no discrimination, all groups are excluded. If a public school allows "open forum" access, it may charge the same fee to all outside groups but is in no way required to be a BSA CO. And now the kicker, the public school maintains control over its educational program and has full control over which outsiders it invites, if any, to fulfill that program, e.g., 4-H for environmentally green studies, police for drug education; veterans for citizenship. This is not considered "open forum" and the school could selectively or totally reject BSA-affiliated groups from contributing to their program. http://www2.ed.gov/policy/rights/guid/ocr/boyscouts.html The Dear Colleague Letter at that link may have been helpful back in the day.

Glad the scouts got some gear back, but I saw no mention of arrests as a result of the initial search warrant. Like Troop 2000, it is also common around here that a troop's home (where they store their gear) is outside in a trailer. Not desirable, but CO's often can offer no storage and neither register or insure; details left to Scoutmaster or Troop Committee. Easy to steal and in summer bakes like an oven. No mention of insurance coverage of stolen gear either.

My den meetings were at my house after school 4-4:45pm, weekly. Our school district denied my request to hold scout meetings after school at the school which are where the boys are. My esteemed colleague in 4-H had no problem getting permission. She often met more than one day a week at school. Her attendance bloomed, I was lucky to draw 6 Cubs.

We are hardly in their league in terms of their greater numbers, access, and outreach. IMO 4-H and the Y are their competitors. As you saw they are inclusive and as such they usually have easy access to public schools for their after school programs. After-school programs in the school is a BIG win for kids, parents, and Boy & Girls membership. They also have their own numerous community facilities like Y's but usually smaller. I have heard their program costs for kids are usually less than the Y, but the Y services the whole family better. I don't know if they own any camps though they do run summer outdoor programs. They are also strong with community service, STEM programs, swimming, sports program...to paraphrase their "What we do:.. Education; Career Programs Character; Leadership Program Health; Life Skills Arts Program Sports, Fitness, and Recreation Special Programs (related to youth and community needs) Our membership numbers continue to decline while their numbers are increasing.

Byer cots are the best. I use them for guests of all sizes. https://www.byerofmaine.com/products...furniture.html You can buy direct or through retailers such as Cabelas and Vermont Army Navy who occasionally have them on sale. https://shop.vtarmynavy.com/byer--folding-cots-c41.aspx Hope this helps. P.S. Ugh, sadly most if not all of their cots are now made offshore. Mine were Maine made. Recent reviews on Amazon are mostly positive.

In my previous post I attached the different avatar images, for some reason they are now gone?

The British restricted and seized gunpowder, so our colonists bought from the French. Similarly for this Russian designed rifle (irony), its 7.62x39 ammo is commonly available worldwide and many reload. I walked from buying an excellent Czech mauser which still had the lion crest because 8mm ammo was scarce. Oh no second revolution, as we scouters are training the next better leaders now.

I'm tempted as I do not own any AK's. Prices have not come down much, but Arsenal has a good rep and it's for a good cause right? Even get a Scout "absolution" letter to give Mrs. Schiff.

Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson will speak about scout character-building at a scout fundraiser today. He was a boy scout. http://www.kshb.com/entertainment/kc...athers-program

seems there are two files with same name but different size and image

Perhaps these scouts have not eaten a good pumpkin pie? Maybe a pie election contest - Squash vs Pumpkin. Good civics analogy as there is often just as much difference between Republicans and Democrats.
