SR540Beaver Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hey, I got to sing the song last night. I went to a troop COH where 8 WB'ers were beaded from two troops and one crew. Five of the folks were from the troop where the COH was held. I got to bead the first of my six Owls that I was Troop Guide for this last fall. I bead another at a Pack graduation this Friday. Two others have completed their ticket, but have not selected a beading date yet. The other two are continuing to work their ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamonn Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Seems I missed the Bears. But as a member of the Cuckoo Patrol ( Gilwell Park 1972) I as a rule when on this side of the pond get to sing a solo just before the Staffers chime in. (We also had Kestrels,Panthers and Bulls. I had wanted to be a Kestrel. - Anything but a darn Cuckoo!! Many of my so called friends say it suits me? I have no idea what they mean. I became a Bear when I took the old Cub Scout Course. I have met a couple who attended a Explorer WB Course and the patrols were named after famous explorers. I'm not sure how "Official" this might have been. The course in the UK no longer uses Patrol names. Last time I was home I had lunch with John Fogg the Director of Communications for the Scout Association, he told the story how at a Gilwell Reunion he stood between two Scouters, one from the USA and one from Japan. At the camp fire they sung Back To Gilwell, the two Scouter's sang their hears out with tears running down their cheeks -The English Scouter's didn't know the words!!) Ea.
