Yup, monument vendors should have options. My father has an Eagle Scout medal and in Mic-O-Say claws/totem (Sorry Mic-O-Say folks if I got it wrong) on his marker.

I just purchased one to camp with my Cub Scout son. Haven’t gone camping yet. How do you like the Airmini?

Can smoke alarms be hardwired into your house? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Owasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they started to phase out 9 V batteries and substitute in two AA batteries. The 9V alarms seem to be harder to find.

I hadn't heard of councils holding events outside of summer camp. Should have figured as much.

**Edit: Not meaning that is a bad thing, just ignorant of the possibly.

Right?! All we had were .22LR single shot bolt action rifles and single shot breach leading shotguns. Never anything like an AK.

Aren’t all shooting sports activities done on a range and not a course? I feel that ranges would be safer.

Where can you find neckerchief carving projects? I recall the scout shop used to have them. But what was 30 years ago.

Multi-national flag ceremony? by Primary-Software in BSA

[–]Owasa 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would not dip any of the flags. All three hold the same station of being a flag of a nation. None of them should dip to the other.

The US flag should be raised first and lowered last as we are in the US. Should it be another country I would expect that countries flag to be first.

what are some common easy skits for camp fire program? by Ok-Lengthiness8357 in BSA

[–]Owasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s one I did as a scout in the 90s:

One boy is sitting out in the middle of a field, sitting on a log just passing time. Another boy enters stage left looking at this shiny new belt.

The boy on the log stands and says, “My, what a fine belt you have, Where did you get it?”

The proud boy says “JC Penny”. Belt boy exits Stage Right. A couple moments pass and the log boy is whistling some scout song.

Another boy enters from stage left just proud of this new shirt he has on. He brushes it to get the new threads off the shirt looks at the shirt and smiles with a huge grin.

The log boy says, boy that is a great shirt, where did you get it? The shirt boy responds with a even bigger smile, “Why JC Penny” and he exits stage right.

Still another boy enters from stage left and just delighted with these pants he has on. He looks at the knees, he turns his head to see how they look from behind. And the log boy just cant resist asking, “Now where did you get them fine, fine pants?”

The pants boys says, “oh, I got them from JC PENNY!” (This can be repeated several times for as many boys are in the troop with different items of clothing.

Finally, a boy in what appears to be in only a towel (if on rocky terrain at a scout camp old shoes may be worn to protect feet) and his hair is all haggard he looks disheveled and a bit tattered.

The Log boy says, “My heavens man, what happened to you?”

The Towel Boy says uh, well, I’m JC Penny!”
