We all know the 12 Laws of a Boy Scout and this weekend we should all have honored the 12 law...A scout is Reverant. This 12th point should actually be the first law a scout remembers as in the scout oath we say Duty to God and Country.
You say that your are bored. You say that you have nothing to do. Played all of the video games and mastered each and every one without breaking into a sweat. Well, cheer up bunkie . I have the perfect solution for you.
I remember back in the day that camping was all about sleeping on the ground in a tent, cooking beanie weenies, and stargazing at night. Entertaining each other around the campfire and incinerating marshmallow in some strange sacrificial rite. There's nothing like a marshmallow cooked to a cinder over an open campfire.
After attending 5 Star University, I discovered that I still have much to learn about the scouting program and I always will as time goes by. Scouting is an ever changing program which constantly evolves into something new as progress is made in our technological society.
Now that I have attended my first 5 Star University and have received my Bachelor of Science degree in Scouting I feel that I have learned far more about the program than ever before. There some ideas and concepts that I have already been doing as an Asst.
I have been involved with a new dynamic program called, "Twinning." Twinning is a link up between 2 or more units from other parts of the world with your unit to discover more about the international scout program. This link between units from one country with another encourages the exploration of diversity, creates new friendships…
This past month's edition of "Scouting Magazine," had a wonderful article on Adult Leadership Knots and Knots scouts can earn for accomplishing various requirements above and beyond the call of duty (meaning that these awards are not required for rank advancement and do not determine the final outcome of one aspiring to reach Eagle Scout)…
I was once asked, "What does it take to get the Eagle Medal?" My response was that you don't " get" the Eagle Medal but rather you earn the right to receive the Eagle Scout. There are 3 things that I believe that are key to earning the Eagle rank: 1.
What has over 28 million registered members in 33 countries? If you said members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement ...give yourself an A. Yes, that's right more than 28 million scouts and scouters populating the earth and all running a program similar to which our founder Lord Baden Powell started back in…
One of the most amazing things I have learned about the scouting program is that the people you meet that will step up and be counted when a fellow scouter asks for volunteers is astounding. The photo on the left was taken at the first Webelos Outdoors Event that I hosted and these people pictured…
I have been a part of the BSA program for 20yrs (give or take a yr) and I started my career in Cubs and then Boy Scouts and now I am an adult leader on the volunteer level. Through the years I have heard the same comments about scouting that never change.
I received an email from my wife today (she does that from time to time as we sometimes work opposite shifts) and usually she sends me some funny joke or video. But today, she sent me a video about Nick Vujicic , a motivational speaker.
I have witnessed thousands and thousands of openings for pack, and troop meetings and they pretty much are all the same. Every meeting began with the flag ceremony and the Pledge of Alliegence, and then followed by the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack, or the Boy Scout Promise and the Boy Scout…
Scouting and competitions have gone hand in hand since the beginning of the scout movement. Boys vs. boys has it's merits as a way to check one's understanding of the values beging taught within the program. Knowing first aid, for instance, is not enough but being able to demonstrate that knowledge of first aid under…
Welcome to my first post. We are well into the month of January and it is time transition scouts to find their prospective boy scout troop that they expect to join when they make that all important step at crossover.
