Never had issues with my Primus (19.99) or my Jetoil (99.99) grated they are both slightly bigger than the whisper lite but they are dependable.

One simple question can spark the conversation....."Why aren't the boys boy lead" then sit back and listen. If its not boy lead its NOT Boy Scouts.

Thanks for the heads up, mine came in the other day but I haven't had the chance to flip its pages yet.

I have been using Scoutbook well before the BSA took it over, its a great application!

A for sure! I have been doing Webelos for 3 years and I have had 2 that didn't camp. I explained it to the parents.

Just incase password is 1910BSA!

Our council just had us remove the video from our Districts Facebook pages (vimeo video)

I do agree with everything you said. I am ok with the Cub Scout Change, I would hope they'd leave Boy Scout alone. Venturing they can join.

Why wouldn't you wait to see the Interest level? You know I thought the same with the "gay" results, but you know to date I still haven't had a gay boy ask to join.

Yes but they are Far and Few between. For example there is one 45 min from me in Southaven MS, for them to make an impact there would need to be more breaking from BSA and staring up a TL. On a side note (not that anything is wrong with it) it really seems more Religious Based than scout ever was. JMO

Correct, we are having a Council Level discussion this week regarding the matter.

Thanks everyone for their assistance

Trying to find the "official" statement I have a scout that has Family Life, Personal Management, and Personal Fitness to wrap up. He wasn't to begin his Eagle Process and talk with District Eagle Board Councilor. Coucilor told mom that he cant begin the process until his MB are complete so mom went to a fact or fiction site and it stated "Statement" A scout must complete all merit badges before starting his Eagle Project" Result " Absolutely not, A scout may start an Eagle Project he day he Achieves the rank of Life Scout. thanks

What's up with the Food? that was the second complaint I heard.

This is the only reason that my son and myself might not go to 2019, all I keep hearing is Patch Trading. My son (12) hasn't been bitten yet by the trading bug, he still loves the adventures so he wants to do Northern Tier in lieu of Jambo 2019.

YES We had a young man pass away late last year and this is what we did

Correct. Chickasaw Council has 2 top notched camping areas, I feel privileged because I know some only have 1.

Yes, Trump left a lot to be desired. He had a podium and an opportunity to raise these young men and women up to tell them to reach for the stars and they are tomorrows great leaders. Fell flat on his face.

You know Qwazse they are a Breed of their Own. Do you know they have their very own pledge of allegiance to the state of Texas?

One of my local troops is there and they all brought there Make America Great again Hats

I've said it before, I am not TOTALLY against girls in Cub Scouts.

No this is at Camp Currier right outside of Hernando Mississippi. We have a small lake that has LOTS of fish in it because boys don't fish much anymore these days. Check us out on FB (Camp Currier) . We have a great local camp as well as KKSR in Hardy Arkansas.

Back Story have been fishing since I was a very young man, dad and I would wake at 3 in the morning and head out to the lake. I starting buying bait when I started earning my own money and I'd by bass jigs and everything bass related. Dad would throw his line near the banks for Brim and Crappie and I would throw mine way out in the middle of the lake because you know "Only Big fish are out in the middle of the lake". Never have I pulled one out of the water! I know there wasn't any real skill involved in this catch, just the right place at the right time but it made me extremely proud. Oh and another young man got to complete his Fishing Merit Badge because my son gave it to him to clean so I talked him through it and he cooked it up. This was at Camp this weekend....we had an insane idea to camp this past weekend with temps up in the 105 -110 heat index. Oh yea and I am only holding his Trophy because he said "I am not putting my thumb in his mouth so he can bite me" I laughed

LOL that's awesome.
