Gonzo1 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 A parent once complained to the DE "Mr. Gonzo1 makes my son set up his tent in the dark." I told the parent that their son could use a flashlight if he had one. Had another parent ask me "Do you still go camping if it's going to rain?" I said "of course" She asked again "Even if it's a 100% chance of rain?" I asked her if her son packed his poncho and said "yes" Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bob Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I had a number of Tiger parents ask if it counts every time they read with their kid... Tiger Elective 14 - Together with your adult partner, read a short story or a magazine article. Well, I read to my kids almost every night...

Bolo Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I wear my uniform to EVERY scouting event. Last year at our District Banquet, I decided to wear, uhummm, a rather short dress. A parent came up to me and said, "Oh, you have legs!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bob Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Jeff, My parents were very understanding... We spoke about the purpose of the electives and that was to expose their sons to new and exciting things. We only counted reading once. Now, I am not sure that is the correct way of doing it but it works for our den...

SpongeBob Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 With my Tigers, I didn't "tell" them that they could do them more than once until two or three months until end of the school year. Then I told them that they could do them again if they wanted, since there were 100 spots to fill in the back of the book. No one even asked about doing them a 3rd time.

Gonzo1 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Bolo, you said: I wear my uniform to EVERY scouting event. Last year at our District Banquet, I decided to wear, uhummm, a rather short dress. A parent came up to me and said, "Oh, you have legs!" This shouldn't have been a problem, unless you're a man.

SpongeBob Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Last night we had a parent at our committee meetings suggest that when people arrive at Blue and Gold, they are greeted by a person who gives them a lei. Then she added that we should figure out what the Hawaiian word for "welcome" was. We just kinda looked at her and said, "Aloha?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
