  1. Where is Borough of Cliftonville(formerly Westminster)?
  2. Was the Holy Trinity building built by and for the Sea Scouts?
  3. Our pack is going to be having a camp-in next weekend and I was wondering if any of you could recommend any good games to play? Outdoor night time games or indoor games where space is limited. How do you play flashlight tag?
  4. Yes the cabin is structurally sound. It could use a little work on a couple of the window shutters but the roof and rafters are sound. The walls are stone. It's located in Council Grove, Ks.
  5. Our local Boy Scout troop headquarters is a cabin built by the scouts in 1935. It's very basic. Only two rooms, no plumbing and it's heated by a wood stove and fireplace. The fire place is called the American Fireplace. It's really unique. When it was built the scouts sent a letter to the governor of each state requesting a rock unique to that state to be included in the fireplace. It has one from each of the 48 states. Someone has put forth the claim that this is the oldest Boy Scout cabin built by scouts (The scouts raised the funds ($1,000) and helped with the construction.) that has been in continuous use as a BS cabin. He admittedly has no proof to back up this claim but it does beg the question. Do any of you know of a BS cabin built by scouts that has been in continuous use longer?
  6. I'm a new CM and am also new to scouts. Do any of you combine the B&G Banquet with the crossover ceremony for Webelos? From what I've been told, my pack has not done that in the past but I was at a Pow Wow a few weeks ago and several people said that the primary prupose of the B&G is to transition Webelos off to Boy Scouts. I have since learned that the B&G is a celebration of the birth of scouting...A birthday party for Cub Scouting. How do you do your B&G?
  7. Would the following be poem be appropriate for a cub to recite at a pack meeting? One bright day in the middle of the night Two dead boys got up to fight Back to back they faced each other Drew their swards and shot each other A deaf policeman heard the noise Drew his gun and stabbed the two dead boys
  8. We don't really have anything budgeted at this time but we do have quite a bit of money because books, scarves, sliders and badges are about the only thing we've spent money on the last couple of years. We only have about 15 boys in the pack and over $3k in our account. But of course I will run it by the committee before making a purchase.
  9. Thanks for the responses. Guess I'll stick to sewing.
  10. Thanks for all the great responses. Now that I know there are no official requirements for patches we can get them patches for virtually everything they do. A quick online search found patches for virtually EVERYTHING! Thanks guys.
  11. Does anybody know anything about Badge Magic Patch Adhesive Kits. I found them at: http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=01RTL&ctgy=PRODUCTS&c2=UNIFORMS&c3=UN_MISC&c4=&lv=3&item=501BMO Do they really work? Can you wash them?
  12. Can anyone tell me what patches are available for the kids brag vests? I'm a brand new CM/DL (I live in a rural area). A few weeks ago we attended a zoo day event for which the boys received a patch. While there I saw several kids with different patches. One was for Christmas caroling. We are going caroling in a couple of weeks and I was wondering exactly what needed to be done to earn that patch and where one could be obtained. Info on any other patches would be helpful too.
