I am a Process (ITIL) Engineer for an Army Contractor.

I tell ya I love working with line....... I figured it out, I can differentiate my slides by finishing the Turks HEad with a Monkeys Fist. Dangle it about an inch below and it makes for a very smart looking fancy knot combination. And definately not going to be confused by all those WB'ers out there. scott

Was just wondering if Dens out there create their own slides as another form of cohesion of unit. I am thinking about doing a Turks Head Slide for a promotion idea for the den and was looking for feed back. There might be some of you out there that say no dont do it, it could be confused with the WB Woggle but if I do a three strand instead of a two strand i think that would suffice as the difference. any thoughts or comments. Scott

Voyageur, Like Beavah said are ya gonna leave us hanging on those sources....(sounds like they would be good for the library. If 18th cen sailing would that be the Midshipmans Apprentice? (Sheet Anchor) But also would love to hear detailed description of knot!!! scott

Voyageur, I would first consult Ashleys before submitting it. If i am following what youare stating it sounds as if you are talking about a "bosuns chair knot". just some advise. scott

Sounds real familiar.... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/18/AR2008011803722.html?sub=AR

Now this is a novel concept..... Thanks John in KC ...prime the pump with some factory orders, Uncle... Lets find out what it would take to get the manufacturing world up to speed to protect theose men and women over seas. scott

That Duluth Trading jacket looks like an excellant choice, especially since it is also on sale!!!!!!!

This is great!!! what a splendid back and forth the inputs are just what I was looking for out of this forum.

Just a quick question, who and how does one become qualified to teach this "advancement"? Regards scott

Shilue, Youa re doing all the correct thigns to keep involved. JohnKC said it best I think: >You'll have all your life to serve Scouting. You only have >another decade to mold your son. It'll go by way too fast. >Trust me! Being a new Tiger Leader I can tell ya how proud I am of my Tiger son and the energy he is putting into Socuting. Reminds me of his Dad. Keep volunteering and you'll get the leadership tasks you want Scott

1) What type of Den do you lead, orare you a Pack level Scouter, or are you a District Scouter supporting Cubbing? I lead Tiger Den 2) How often does your Den meet during September to June (or your local school year)? We meet as a Den once a month (boy, after reading this thread that seems a bit light) 3) How often does your Pack meet during September to June (or your local school year)? The Pack meets once a month, with other special events thrown in the mix. 4) What kinds of summertime activities does your Den or Pack participate in (Day Camp, Family Camping, 4th of July parade, August swim, Webelos Camp...???) There hasnt been many summertime events in the past but this will be changing in the future!!!! Scott

Was a Cub Scout and than went on to Webelos , got the AOL and crossed over to Boy Scouts, while in the States it was really a great time, camping, Jamborees, meeting day dressup for school, really helped with pride and sence of community. But never made it past Tenderfoot, Iceland was not the place to be in Scouting at that time. When we got back to the States never really got back into it so just dropped out....... Fast forward, son turned 6 (Tiger Cub) and in his school "all" the boys join Scouts. So really i am going to start and live vicariously through him for awhile and help out as Den Leader now and who knows what for the future. Wouldlike to see him have at best the same type of Cub Scout experience as I had, and hopefully a stronger and better experience as a Boy Scout. Scott

Lets start with the easy ones.... #2 AOL Square knot worn by Scouts and Adults alike..... Scott
