Bumper Morgan, quickest way to get parent volunteers is to as for help from a couple of them tell them no strings attached. Just say we need help with a group project get them hands on. That is how they hooked me in. Have you thought about talkng with your local other scout masters, unit...

Scouts troop that my yongest son and grandsons are in have that policy only way out and into another troop is to move. Now as you said 1961MJS the waiting list so far knock wood we have not run into any waiting list for cub/boy scouts.

Miss Lizzie and Miss Sheeplady you ladies have it right. I just asked my wife about it or rather to remind me. Our sons wanted to take shop in school but that was only offered in the vocational curriculum not in college preparitory. Business math "finance" and home economics was only offered in...

When I did drink American was Gentleman Jack. Foreign was Bushmills Black label or twenty year old Jameson.

I remember having holes and rips in my jeans when I was younger. They came from working on the farm they were patched with iron on patches and rips were sewn. I walked the excess lenghth off of hand me down clothes. Now those clothes were for working on the farm. School had a dress code clean...

W.A. Mack I agree with you that the scouting expericance depends on the troop and the leadership. I am only a parent volunteer myself. Our Troops and Dens would be a failure if it wasnt for volunteers to lead activites and add to motivation of the scouts.

Buggnkat, I do apologize did not mean to make you to feel old. I, well... I am sorry man. Sometimes I think and my thoughts get out and this not a good thing. John, you are correct sir, to paraphrase you, "the deadliest thing on the battlefield is the well aimed round" It does not matter what...

No I am sorry to say I have not heard the song. I will probably never hear it because I have gone almost deaf over last few years. Now for all service members and prior service like myself. We always fall back on our origional training. I have friends and neighbors who are active and prior...

I got the game and played it for a couple of days. I liked the game really did except for one problem I hated the interview questions. They were no where near what I would have asked. Just drove me crazy.

Sorry I did not make myself clear but my Puppy Prozac idea is only a last resort. I do not like the idea of drugging animals unless it is for thier own safety. Forgive me everyone.

Please do not give up on him because he will not give up on you. Sounds like he has seperation problems how long have you stayed away from home at any given time. and standing outside the door does not count because he can smell you on other side of door. See if a neighbor can keep an ear out...
