The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Is the Eastern District PWD date correct? Shouldn’t it be 16 Mar vice 13 Mar?
What is difference between Camporee and Cuboree?

Good catch, Mark. You are correct, PWD date has now been changed above to 16. Will pass along your Camporee/Cuboree question to Robert Greenwald. He’s in charge of programs and probably the person best qualified to answer.

I suspect that the Webelos Woods dates need to be moved up to the weekend of May 17-19?

You are correct. Blame the onset of early stage CRS on the part of the humble site keeper.

Introduction to Out Door Leader Skills – (IOLS) will be taught Nov 2 – 4, 2012 at Camp Currier. This is where adults learn the basic skills for scouts to earn 1st class, and valuable scouting methods. It’s fun, it’s informative, you will make new friends and help out your troop’s program. E-mail me for more info or to volunteer to help teach. Last year’s class was a great group of scouters. See you! 901-619-0492.

Suggestion:
Add a blog on Troop Outing locations that allows our local Troops to pool knowledge. Examples – “11-Point Canoeing”, “Shiloh”, “Ferne Clyffe”, “Dismals Canyon”, “Reelfoot”. Include as “sub-blogs” under each suggested contacts, camping location, activities in the area, travel info, special needs, and other pointers for that outing that Troops can build on.
Doing so would allow Troops to pool knowledge and help us prevent “re-inventing the wheel” for each activity.
Example – our Troop recently went to Dismals Canyon. I could put campsite info and pictures, contact info, cost for activities, our itinerary, special issues (like carting stuff up the hill to the Boy Scout site), facilities info, and other useful information.
Also, create a “Resources” blog with sub-blogs. For example, we found out that a local Troop rents canoes as it’s fundraiser. We have rented twice and we happy to support our fellow Scouts. had I not been talking about this to a fellow Scouter, I would not have known.
Lastly, create a “classified” section that Troops can publicize equipment they have that they’d like to pass along to other Troops, or items their Troop is in need of.
Lots of good info on the website already. These suggestions would provide an even more practical addition.

I will hand out a “Camping Resource section in the Scpouters Note Book at IOLS. Thanks. We go over camping spots at Round Table once a year as well and input is welcome. Can we use yours?

I agree with Rich. It would be better to have the access off the web. A resources section that everyone can go to – Leaders, parents, PL’s that help make the planning schedule for their own troop,…. For the leaders and parents who may not attend RT, but do help lead trips – could use this resource to have a heads up on what certain things to look out for, or have a discussion with the PL’s to possibly visit this certain location – and why while there. All could also know by reading the comments – stay away from __(say path D)____… as it’s a place that a) the trail is not marked well, or b) where the boys can get hurt…. Yes, discussion at RT is important, but it is the boys who are usually the ones that decide where they want to go. At RT – these scouts usually won’t be in the breakout discussion concerning places to go – they will usually try to go for some other topic to attend. If all this was available on the web, it could help the scouts with their yearly planning meeting to look up these locations and show younger scouts that had not been a certain location before – this is where we’ve been before & would like to go back because…. What’s the old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words.” N. Johnson – Troop 56
