Greetings InsaneScouter’s, this week I thought I would let you know about a new service we are offering special for those of you who are self-employed or running a small business based around the principles in the Scout Law. For a low yearly fee of $179, you will get access to my team of experts. The revenue from this service will, directly and indirectly, benefit InsaneScouter!

Think of it as having access to a team of expensive consultants to answer your questions, and advise you along the way. My team is made up of a wide range of experts, including computer repair, web development, running a business, freelancing, outsourcing, promotion & marketing, goal-setting, mindfulness, and even minimalism. 

What you get:

Virtual water cooler, a place to hang out or network with others, ask questions, seek advice from my team and group of advisers… peer feedback/accountability (facebook private group)

twice a month live "office hours" for a chance to interact with my team, ask us questions, etc

Occasional virtual seminar or Q&As

It can take a plastic foam cup 500 to 1, 000 years — or longer — to biodegrade. Keerthin Karthikeyan refused to wait that long. Keerthin, a 14-year-old Life Scout from Troop 45 of Oxford, Miss., discovered an innovative new method for recycling a substance so environmentally harmful that it has been banned in dozens of cities. He’s turning this waste material, which Keerthin calls “one of the deadliest things humanity has ever created, ” into a sustainable product with numerous applications. For his efforts, Keerthin won a Silver Medal at last month’s Genius Olympiad International Project Competition in New ......

When Scouts hear about someone in need, they don’t just shake their heads in sorrow. They spring into service. That’s exactly what happened after a series of earthquakes shook Southern California last month. A group of Cub Scouts, Scouts and Venturers from the Antelope Valley north of Los Angeles rallied their community to help the hardest-hit victims. Over three days, the Scouts collected more than 20, 000 pounds of bottled water and 8, 000 pounds of nonperishable food and hygiene products. They worked with disaster relief officials to determine the best place to send the items — somewhere the donations would ......
 


Last week, Scouts at the World Scout Jamboree took a break from the high adventure activities that the Summit Bechtel Reserve offers to share what they love about their home countries with their fellow campers. Games, food, dances, traditions — they were all available for Scouts to enjoy as they ventured from their campsites to neighboring sites. English Scouts served biscuits and tea; Italian Scouts cooked pasta; Japanese Scouts made origami, and some American Scouts shared how to play this country’s pastime: baseball. For those who wanted to cook, Scouts shopped at the food markets that are available at the ......
 


Our pack was in need of a Cubmaster. I waited because I didn’t want to take the position from one of the parents if they wanted it, . But since school is right around the corner and nobody had volunteered yet, I said that I would love to be Cubmaster. And just like that, I’m an empty nester who is back in Cub Scouting. I used to look at the many Scouters who were still involved in Scouting long after their kids had aged out and be amazed that they were still putting in so much time. ......
