SSScout Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 LNT ...bit of Irony...look to the Summitt...What kind of Trace did we Leave there..All those Natural BMX Bike Trails, The Natural Skateboard Parks..The Treehouse...The Zip LinesYes, the Summit is reclaimed strip mine land. I doubt if any tree there is more than 25 years old. Gullies are now "lakes", trails are sculpted, camp sites are leveled and sloped fpr drainage.

DeanRx Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Dumbass Taylor, Jr. ought to be kicked out, too. If he advanced one more rank after cheering on his litigious fatso dad it would be over my dead body.Ding Dong, I've met Larry the cable guy.... please don't insult HIS intellect by lumping him in with these idiots in need of a village.

Sacrificial sites are necessary in order to adversely effect the least amount of land. it's just pragmatism, which is sometimes lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpalazzi Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 And one of the culprit's character is turning out to be even more deplorable. He's apparently strong enough to hike around and topple a large rock, but is still suing someone for his "disability" caused in an auto accident. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2013/10/man-who-toppled-ancient-rock-suing-for-disability/ This man needs to be kicked out of the BSA. I'll be here all week! Try the veal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberSchiff Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Utah lawmaker Dixon Pitcher is drafting a vandalism bill. Fines of $15,000 or more. Too late for these two. http://kutv.com/news/top-stories/stories/vid_8415.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastScouter Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 At the risk of angering some here who may be LDS, it has been my personal observation that many of the stories we hear regarding deaths, injuries and just dumb antics come from LDS troops. Not all, but many. I'm not anti-LDS. I don't know what it is like in Utah where the vast majority of scouts are LDS, but where I'm from, the LDS troops participate in nothing......including training. Most LDS leaders don't register because they want to, but because they are directed to. They use the Boy Scout program, but they don't necessarily follow the Boy Scout program. I believe that if they would participate in the available training and network with units and leaders outside of LDS, they would be the better for it. Just my .02 cents. I apologize if that is offensive to anyone.You brought out the issue that is clear to most non-LDS scouters. In my district, most of the LDS unit leaders don't know what a scouting unit is, they don't like to go to training, and are just waiting to get away from their calling. It's that secret we don't want to say out loud. It's just something we don't want to say out loud. However, when when I first read the story I told people, "I bet that was a Mormon group...." And yep... Learned later I was right.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blancmange Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I think they got off easy. Really? In the grand scheme of things, this seems proportionate and appropriate. What did you expect, prison time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you expect, prison time? In addition to monetary damages, I would have them put it back, using the same equipment they used to take it down. 2 - 6 days in jail wouldn't be unreasonable.

SSScout Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Maybe put'em back isn't such a bad idea.... we are doing wonderful things with epoxy these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashmaster Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Really? In the grand scheme of things, this seems proportionate and appropriate. What did you expect, prison time? The amount they pay is tiny. I would force them to community service in the park service cleaning toilets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
