Tactical Scouters: Combat troops, together with any service troops required for their direct support, who are organized under one commander to operate as a unit and engage the enemy in combat.In the Scouting world this would translate to: Scouters who together and who are trained for their position within their Scout Units are organized under
Last night at the Pioneer District Dinner, the District Awards were handed out. It was a great time to reflect upon what the Scout Units did over the past year. The District Chairman and Commissioner gave their thoughts. Our Exec did the same too. But, he added points that really helped me. See we as
Our May Pack Meeting just totally rocked. This is what I posted on Facebook after I got home. "Fantastic night at Pack 221′s Physical Fitness Meeting. The new kindergartener's rocked. We did Slackline (actually walking a tightrope) and an Obstacle Course that had the Scouts figure out which was NSEW was, recite the Promise &
Reblogged from Bryan on Scouting: Like rare patches? How about one only 11 men have ever worn? Today, we learned the identity of the next man to join the impressive fraternity of Chief Scout Executives that started with Scouting legend James E.
The Council that I am in, recently put on a program called Mission Possible. Simply put, it's a Spring recruiting drive for Tigers and Wolves. Along with getting Cub scouts to summer camp and getting the Pack to put on a Summertime Award Pack Events. As I pointed out in the above linked post,
Today is Mother's Day and a time to celebrate Mom. We did that here today. I wanted to take one moment and thank all the Moms who are, were, will be and have been a Den Mother. As well all those who support Scouting in some way. Either as a registered Leader or as a
Today was Jamboree on the Trail. It's technically my first time. Last year I was at Gilwell Field as a Troop Guide, so maybe I was on the trail? I put JOTT on the Pack Calendar and incorporated it as part of my Cubmaster Hike. This was the second in a six part set of
A friend and fellow Scouter up in the Seattle Council put on a BALOO training the other week. He just published a blog about it and included his Powerpoint slides for it. It's Great! This is something that I have wanted to do for a while. Yes, I am stealing it…ok well, he put it
It is that time of the year, for most, to gather up the Pack Committee and Den Leaders and find a spot for a whole day and figure out what's going to happen the next Cub Scout Year. This year, our Pack will have its first real sit down meeting and flesh it all out.

In my last post, it was about The Portland Outdoor School and what School District and City of Portland is doing with it. Like I have said, it's not a bad thing and it should be there and funded properly. But what about OTHER camps and solutions and things that can happen to NOT have
In several posts recently, I have lamented about how the Portland Public Schools are/were on the edge or brink of not providing "Outdoor School". I grew up in Montana, Billings to be exact. I was in Scouts for a year, but I had a wonderful place called East Rosebud Lake that I went to each
Reblogged from Bryan on Scouting: Get ready to dot-dot your I's and dash your T's. Today, the Boy Scouts of America released the Morse Code Interpreter Strip, an official patch for Scouts and Scouters who can demonstrate their ability to "speak" this special language. Morse Code joins languages like Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Arabic,
Today, I did two things that qualifies for my Good Deed Done Daily. The first was to re-certify with the BSA for Youth Protection. In an earlier post about YPT, I talked about it. Today, I needed to check and make sure that I was current. I have lapsed by two months. Not good for
This is a topic that comes up a lot, in any and every Unit. Sports and Scouting. Many Parents think that it cannot exist together. Practice and/or games are on Scout night or the Unit is off camping during a "BIG" game. I am in a Pack, so I am not going to be able
Reblogged from The Aitz Chaim Ram's Horn: Question: What is the only Jewish celebration that involves lighting campfires (bonfires) and shooting bows and arrows? Answer: Lag B'Omer! The holiday, a "break" in the solemnity involved in the counting of the Omer, is celebrated with bonfires, torches, song, shooting bows and arrows and feasting.
Jamboree on the Trail is this May 12th. It's the day before Mother's Day. It is also an unofficial International Scouting event. As with all things Cool, it started up in Canada and progressed around the world. For the past several years I have tried to make this event happen for the Pack. Last year,

Back in 2010, there was a landmark case that changed the Boy Scouts of America. It was the case of a former Scout charging he was sexually abused by a Scoutmaster in the Troop back in the 1970′s. I wrote a couple of articles about it. Oddly enough, this is one that I published two
Saturday afternoon (April 21st) was our first Cubmaster Hike. I selected the Wood Memorial Park as our hike for several reasons. First, it's very close to the school. It is actually right next to the SW Community Center & Gabriel Park. Secondly, it's an easy hike. Nothing like climbing Mt Hood or Everest. My goal
Imagination helps provide meaning to experience and understanding to knowledge; it is a fundamental faculty through which people make sense of the world,and it also plays a key role in the learning process. April 16th was Pack Meeting night for us. Another night that we all come together and hopefully learn something and celebrate being

Reblogged from The Scoutmaster Minute: At last nights Roundtable I was pleased to see a great turn out in the Boy Scout break out. Last nights attraction was Camporee and what units can do to get ready for it. We had about a half hour left so I thought it would be worth our while

One of the Commissioners reported about going to a Pack Committee and asking about upcoming events and if they are going to them. Camporee, Cuboree, etc…. They also asked about training. What they got back was
