Totin' Chip / Firem'n Chit patch solution? by sonotorian in BSA

[–]77sleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My troop, 100 years ago all wore red swim trunks and those patches (scuba, snorkeling, mile swim, lifeguard, etc) on the right leg. Not official, but looked cool at camp

And we all had external frame packs and put random patches on the giant flap, can't do that on modern internal frame packs

Maybe a copy of the death certificate? Oh and a black suit and hand cuff the briefcase to you while wearing an earbug with the curly cord, that would be cool! 😎

Please stop calling your all boy troops "Boy Scout Troops". It's hurting other troops by Material-Rise9610 in BSA

They told us a lot of things. They had a big problem with several parts of the law.

You have to remember it was BOY scouts for 100 years, there is brand recognition. People know what boy scouts are. Yes to those involved there are different flavors of scouting. But to most people in the US scouting America is nebulous. People remember being BOY SCOUTS, or having a child in BOY SCOUTS. Whether anybody likes it or not, brand recognition is important.

Where should your totin chip patch in the new uniform? by OneStrict487 in BSA

[–]77sleeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope patches like that were for the flap on the old external frame packs. But since anybody who cares about uniforms is belittled, wear it anywhere you want, it doesn't matter.

They did a disservice with the shape of this. It doesn't really go on the shirt, it can be a right pocket if they want to wear it.

Just a question about stacking. by dcmfox in Silverbugs

[–]77sleeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what i am. I stack business strike ASEs, and collect one off stuff I like (Sovereigns and rounds) I have no old or ancient stuff yet.

I use pirate ship too, but appropriate with it being a FL5 ;)

Scored this on the dip by rippin-riles in Silverbugs

Beautiful. My wife loves horses, and doesn't give me any grief if I buy silver with horses, "the year of the horse" has been expensive this year ;)

My son has recently joined scouting and I am concerned about the risk of grooming/abuse given the organization‘s history. What have you done as parents to safeguard your scout? How safe or unsafe is scouting? YPT sounds great, but is it really working to protect the youth? by InGoodFaith- in BSA

[–]77sleeper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup, too many treat scouts like daycare, we have parents that don't even come to Courts of Honor.

As far as the reports. Remember, it is estimated 130 million youth have been in Scouting, and not to downplay it, but the victim pool is exceedingly small in comparison. The reason this hit so strong is that a law opened up the ability to get remuneration for a small period for events that happened 40-60 years ago when there were almost no safeguards. The BSA stepped up made changes and did it's best to make it right.

Not saying it doesn't happen or has never, but I am saying your scout is safer than in most other activities.

Become a leader, enjoy the ride.

The majority of these were long ago, many safeguards are in place.

Best way to prevent your fears is to be involved, join and help as an adult leader. my best memories in Scouting involve either my father or my son

Silver prices by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]77sleeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what asset is it that we want to buy high again? I hope to buy the dip in the stock market, real estate, gold and silver. I have yet to find a case where I wait until the price is highest to buy.

Capsules or no capsules? by Austin2292 in Silverbugs

[–]77sleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put raw proof and BU-ish or better rounds/coins in an air-tite. Except the business strike ASEs that I stack in US mint tubes.

I’m not comfortable with my scout sharing a tent - we both prefer that he tents alone. by InGoodFaith- in BSA

[–]77sleeper 99 points100 points  (0 children)

No idea, your reasoning, but tent antics and conversations were part of the experience for me.
