  1. This is a good point. It is treated like a mini day of summer camp.
  2. Our district has the option to earn 1 or 2. I’m involved as an archery MCA ONLY so scouts can complete partials from camp. I think that is a good service for the Scouts where the others MBs are not good scouting. In my youth, there were no MBs at camporees nor were there merit badge universities.
  3. -Historic scout camp to be preserved in Adirondack Park - Sabattis Scout Reservation closes - Longhouse Council Historic scout camp to be preserved in Adirondack Park | NCPR News
  4. Nice look! They forgot to mention I’ll be 50 as well.
  5. Thanks for sharing. It is sad. I can’t help with STEM days or other merit badge days for the same reason. I can’t be a part of going through the motions, but not earning the badge.
  6. From discord; Freezing temps overnight, 6+ inches of heavy slush, another inch of freezing rain, 100ish collapsed tents (with people stuck inside), 50+ sent to hospitals, an official designation as a mass casualty event, and responses from local, county and state emergency services
  7. It is my understanding that the summit was the site of a mountain top mining where the tailings were used to fill the valleys and create the open untreed areas. So, the Korean Jamboree was the second?
  8. This is a national rule. There isn’t a national term limit, but each term is only 1 year. Each year, all district and council positions must be renominated and approved. Often a rubber stamp, but not always. https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/regions/central/PDF/District Nominating Committee Worksheet.pdf Here is the council one. https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Highlights-of-Council-Governance.pdf
  9. Agreed. This is a change that happened a few years back. It used to say guardian; which is more ambiguous. Legal Guardian is unambiguous.
  10. Thanks for the low point to low point comparison. This seems to be the real change, a loss of ~4-5% overall. Your other point is valid, though, like you said a different analysis. Your point brings about some misleading headlines that National seems to want to publicize by using low point to high point comparison.
  11. In the IRS guides, at irs.gov, these give these clear “donation from family a, family a’s son benefits” as examples. Again, not a grey area of being over the line. Clearly over the line.
  12. Any value in going to the NAM if a) you are receiving an award and b) aren’t on any national committees, sub committees or teams? I assume as a regular Joe, it could be pretty much just a few welcomes and rah rahs?
  13. No. He mentioned that the current YPT training “is a master class in grooming” or something to that effect. Maybe by coupling it with getting the new training content complete, they delayed the annual requirement. I could see that as the reason.
