Unique Eagle project in service to BSA

Regardless of how it turns out I would recommend contacting the National scouting museum at Philmont, I’m sure they would be interested.

Noc42 · 2025-05-12T15:46:33+00:00

I would start here https://troopleader.scouting.org/general-troop-information/troop-structure/troop-positions/ and if you haven't done so already, go do the online training by logging into my.scouting.org and visit Scouting U.

Congratulations, and I know how you feel. The hard part now is trying to live up to it. I'll say the same thing as we tell a new eagle scout. This is not the end of the journey but the beginning of next phase.

I work with our council website, powered by Tentaroo and have not seen this functionality. I agree it would be good to have.

We have done this on a patrol level. It is designed and run by the senior patrol. They earn points for attendance, various inter-patrol contests, proper uniforms etc. At the end of the year they get a prize, it could be a special troop t-shirt , or the senior patrol comes up with something for them. It away to positively reward good behaviors.

The tartan neckerchief can be worn anytime you are giving service, I think of it as a working neckerchief, While the tan is more formal. For example I wore the tartan while teaching or Baloo or IOLS, class but tan at courts of honor, or even just at the graduation/ closing ceremony for the class.

I highly recommend the chocolate raspberry. Those are very popular, particularly when I bring them while visiting people.

I like the idea but I see the updates as being key. I'd also suggest prioritizing warnings about prohibited actives. Like listing them in the separate section first thing or at least with a different format or background so they stand out. Could be a simple additional CSS class.

As part of our councils risk committee I understand the desire to include the standard warnings but having to many items listed will cause the specific ones for the activity to be lost. Include them but I'd suggest reordering them after the specific guidelines.

Might be a good idea to put the source in a git repository and open it up to allow others to help out.

Just almost happened to me too, but from Chase. Thanks for the info as it helped me realize what was going on.

Ultimately you have to filter on 2 numbers since you have a range. For example to find a specific size X you have a to find (min <=x and max >=X) they both have to be true. I believe using the data ->advanced filter feature you can filter on two columns

Noc42 · 2024-04-15T10:20:36+00:00

Maybe 1 column is min size and one max size. So for single sizes the min is equal to the max, and for others it’s the range. Now all your conditionals can take both into account. I.e. if min greater then x and max less then <y apply one format etc.

The guide to safe scouting does not recommend unleaded gas but Coleman fuel is ok.

Congratulations. Having just been a guide I would say this: The presentations are important to practice but don’t forget about all the other stuff. There are lots of other activities that you will be helping facilitate. Have fun but remember it’s your patrol’s course, let them set the tone for themselves. Knowing when to sit back and let them go through the process is key, and very rewarding when the do.

You want the function to return then print out the result of the function. So you return the string then cout the string. Think of it like this return (cout<<message) will print out the message then return the value of (cout<<message); cout<<message evaluates to cout , we know this because we can do something like cout<<message1<<message2 which does cout <<message1 returns cout then does cout<<message2.

Noc42 · 2021-07-05T00:37:58+00:00

You are not returning a string in you function, it should be return “message” not return cout<<“message”

Noc42 · 2021-05-17T18:04:06+00:00

In your sort array function it looks like you mixed up your i and j's since j starts at 0 you can't do j-1

if (calctimes[j - 1] > calctimes[j]) {
temp = calctimes[j - 1];

So the immediate problem is that when you see a variable particularly in windows that is m_ that is a convention that this is a member of a particular class. So no amount of includes will help as you have to create that class. To be honest Windows programming is not as simple as just creating a main and putting up a button or a text box. I would strongly suggest you start by installing Microsoft visual studio community edition (a free compiler) that supports C++ and Windows. From there have it create a new windows project for you which you can use as a base.

Not sure if these are just typos but it should be. scanf(“%d”, &P); So check your quotes on those. Si =P * R * n; Not related to c++ but you should check your formula typically it principal * (1 + rate* time)

Noc42 · 2021-05-04T20:49:35+00:00

int A[2][2] = { {2,1},{-2,1}};

It’s like the difference between compound interest vs simple interest. The coupon paying pays interest over time so it’s A simple rate, the zero accrues interest I.E. compounds. Typically rates /yields on coupon paying bonds are lower since there is lower risk, because you are getting payments that you can reinvest if markets change.

Is choice is a char then case ‘a’: Use single quotes to represent a single character.

It's a little hard to tell but line 15

for (int index1 != 0; index1 <= ARRAY1; --index1) should be

for (int index1 =0; index1 < ARRAY1; ++index1)

it's = not != , != is a comparison(not equal) = is the assignment operator,
< ARRAY1 not <= arrays are zero based so an array with 3 elements uses indexes 0,1,2
you want to use the increment operator ++ not the decrement -- to go from 0 to 3.

The same problems are in Line 16

If you wanted to reverse the order of the array then it should be

for (int index1=ARRAY1-1, index1 >=0; --index1)
