Today I: Prepped the awards for the pack's Blue and Gold dinner tonight. My Cub Scouts are loving the new belt loops! Signed up Scouts for summer camp-- one week for Cub Scouts , one week for Boy Scouts . I love summer.
Today I: Wrote three posts for Scoutsigns --two published today, one more will in the morning. Sent a long email to @ScoutingAsWeGo regarding Webelos Scout to Boy Scout crossover ceremony. Helped my SPL with questions for pending Court of Honor and with his training of our soon-to-be-Boy-Scouts Webelos Scouts.
Today I: Helped a Scouter get the registration fees worked out for himself and his son. Wrote the first post for my new project to help new Scouts, new Scout parents and new Scouters. [Tentative launch of 23 APR. Be an early bird and sign up new posts in the upper left corner.
Today I: Worked on my " A Year of Celebration " award. Sent out last minute reminder for awards to present at the Blue and Gold on Wednesday. Ate the last of my Trails End trail mix! It has been a busy weekend here--how about where you are?
Today I: Spent the entire day with my wife, and we did discuss a couple of Scouting related things over dinner. [OK, a bit of a stretch, but she is really good-spirited for a Scouting widow.] Hatched a new idea .
Today I: Passed along plans to build outdoor planters for Woodworking merit badge--and they are free. Received, and will probably accept, an offer to join a BSA camp inspection team for VA and NC. Emailed the logistics for a Free Throw tournament coming up soon, courtesy of the Knights of Columbus in our area.
Today I: Helped the Venture Crew get their reimbursement from Krusteaz in the mail. [Continental Mills will reimburse half of the cost of your pancake mix used for fundraisers.] Discussed posting the list of newly-minted Eagle Scouts to the council blog each month--Success!
African Adventures Today I: Reached a 100 Days of Scouting , and personal, milestone: 10% of the way through this project! Pretty exciting, and even more so to see the efforts others are putting in, like @bryanspellman and @scoutdude . Congratulated our newest Eagle Scout!
Today I: Provided details on our new crew for a report to our charter organization, the Knights of Columbus. Many were Scoutmasters 30 or 40 years ago, so are unfamiliar with Venturing. Especially, an all girl-crew. Attended the crew's first fundraiser, a pancake dinner.
Today I: Helped a Tiger Scout get his "dentist visit" elective signed off! Advertised the Venturing Crew's Fat Tuesday dinner again. Emailed Blue and Gold dinner reminders and contact information. ...and yes, it is snowing again! Hopefully, you didn't have to go to the dentist today to help a Scout, but I'm sure you did…
Today I: Helped our new crew with their first Unit Money-Earning Application, getting signatures and converting to pdf for email. Confirmed second adult for troop's backup camping trip next weekend. Provided advice on snow day policy for Eagle BOR, if it happens.
Today I: Helped our troop try to plan an alternative camping event this month for next weekend, since our council event was snowed out. Emailed our council that our Eagle Scout candidate is at college, making it difficult for him to get back for a BOR next week.
Today I: Contacted my state delegate about instituting a version of " Scouting for State Parks " in Virginia. Submitted our council's Eagle Scout recommendation form for the Advancement Committee. Published Weekend Patrol Box #29 from Scoutsigns. Also posted to BoyScoutTalk and CubScoutTalk YahooGroups.
Today I: Pulled together the list of participants from Scout Sunday to order their patches . Posted a new blog entry for our council . Posted a new blog entry for our BSA camp . Found a bunch of Leave No Trace materials aimed at Scouting.
Today I: Invited a young man to join our Tiger Scouts. Wrote and emailed an invitation to our various church email lists (Knights of Columbus, Scouts, homeschooling, etc.) to join our new Venture Crew's first fundraiser, a pancake dinner for Fat Tuesday.
Today I: Wrote and mailed an Eagle Scout letter of recommendation. Go MATT! Notified BoyScoutTalk and CubScoutTalk about 100 Days of Scouting project. Updated Twitter feed so that 100 Days of Scouting will show up there as new posts appear.
Today I: Joined in the Twitter-fest of congratulations to the BSA for their birthday. Wore my uniform all day, at work and to Walmart. Trust me, I was the only Scouter in uniform at Walmart in the middle of the day!
Today is the day. The Boy Scouts of America turns 100 years young. Millions of Scouts and Scouters each add a piece to the BSA picture. [A million is 100 X 100 X 100, by the way.] 100 is a powerful number.
