rss feed of posts made in the last 30 daysBy: ptsteve On: 2010-03-11 I know sometimes it is way to easy for the parents to drop the boys off at the Den meeting and have them say "Don't worry we will be back in time" just to find they are a half an hour late. We as the Adult Leaders need to train and engage the parents so they stay and we don't get frustrated and turned into babysitters.First, we need to train them from their son's first...[More] By: webmaster On: 2010-03-09 When I was still a Scout we were on a backpacking trip. It was a windy, but clear day. The ground was all solid rock, it was just the way this location was... one big slab of rock. When it came time to set up camp we Scouts needed to stake down our tents, because of the wind, but the backpacking tent stakes would just bend when you tried to put them into the ground....[More] By: webmaster On: 2010-03-06 I recently went on a day trip with a friend to Kingman AZ. We drove down parts of the original route 66, visit a museum about the old historic road and just had a grand time. What follows is some photos I took during the trip. Hope you enjoy. The historic route 66 sign outside of the route 66 museum This is me on a old steam / coal powered train that was on display in a...[More] By: ptsteve On: 2010-03-04 Remember it is all about the boys and it maybe to easy to say Yes all the time. Sometimes we may get in over our heads and it is always good to have others who can take some of the load. It is way to easy to get burned out.I almost ran into the burn out wall, but caught or hopefully caught myself before I hit it. I had to remember that if I burn...[More] By: webmaster On: 2010-03-02 I almost feel like I am wasting this blog post, but its my blog and my post so I guess I have the right to waste it if I want ;).I was just looking at my newsletter stats and realized that there are now over 895 subscribers – which is just so amazing to me. I take it as a sign that I must be doing something right and many of you find the newsletter...[More] By: webmaster On: 2010-02-27 As a Scout I backpacked the Grand Canyon twice. The first time we did it was my first long term, and my first serious backpacking trip. As a side note, the hike down only takes 4 to 5 hours, but the hike out takes 8 to 12 hours depending on your condition and the trail you choose. On our way down the Scout who happened to be my tent mate kept dropping his sleeping bag....[More] By: webmaster On: 2010-02-25 Lets take a moment to talk about what written resources are available to you. In the photo you will see there are a lot of books, Scouting and non Scouting ones. There are also maps, trail guides, books created for special trainings and events such as WoodBadge. In addition to all of this there are handouts, flyers from places you visit, posters, informational booklets you collect from fairs and shows, and so much more.Many years...[More] By: webmaster On: 2010-02-23 Recently I was talking to a Scouting friend from the UK. It seems at a recent Cub Camp the leaders needed some time to prepare the food. They sent the kids out in Patrols to come back with “the most interesting thing” which would win a prize. When all the groups came back one group had a live wild rabbit. The leader skinned and cooked the rabbit, which the kids had for dinner.The lesson... don't...[More] By: webmaster On: 2010-02-22 Hi all,It is Fuzzy and Scout here, how are you all?
