hendrickms24 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 I know because I tend to lean a little to the left. ; ) Skeptic, I never say your post but don't feel bad it must have slipped thru the crack of the Internet world. Mark M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herms Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 As a "lifetime" Eagle and NESA member I could care less about the knot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaerick Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I certainly have not put in years of my life into scouting for a couple of fancy bits of cloth on my uniform! On the other hand, I find them valuable. As a new parent, I knew I had a good chance of getting an answer if I asked someone with a couple knots on their shirt. As a new leader, I was opened up to some of the ways I could help in the pack/troop. As a veteran leader, I do have a certain amount of pride saying "been there done that" without having to say it. As a leader recruiting others, it helps for them to see that others have put in time, and to see that (in general) the more knots on someone's uniform, the more FUN they seem to have! I find it funny that some people hate 'em, some love 'em. The most ironic to me is the James E West. Some people think wearing it is showing off (the "buy a knot"). I on the other hand wouldn't even know the endowment existed if I hadn't asked someone about the knot. If I can ever kick in the cash, I will. Not for the knot, but for the cause. And I will wear the knot. Not to show off, but to lead others to contribute as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutmaster52 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 If the NESA wants a patch of their own, design one. Leave the Eagle alone. I dont like the idea or the example of purchacing a award. $10.00 for 1st class any one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycroft_514 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I already have enough of these new knots on order for all my uniforms. Back in the 1990s I paid to be a Life member. I also have 3 pocket dangles (one for each uniform) and wear them. So, I want to encourage others to contribute to Eagle Scout Scholarships. Also, yes there is enough information on the NESA website to contact the officials at National. I did it. In fac tI visited them personall three weeks ago. I was also told that even if you don't buy the contact book they are putting together, NESA has already netted $100K on that project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
