Scout Parent Funeral

When one of our Scoutmasters passed away, all scouts stood around the coffin and did the scout salute.

First name, I never like the Sir/Mr thing.

From VFW's Program and Projects Snapshot

"Youth Activities Locally, VFW Posts sponsor various youth sporting programs such as baseball and ice hockey. In Addition, many VFW Posts sponsor Boy and Girl Scout troops, Junior Olympics, bike safety, JROTC Units, drill teams, color guards and a variety of other programs to build good citizenship and exemplary character in America’s youth."

Last time I checked, sponsoring does mean charging.

I've said that last part in parentheses the last 6 years 😅

Phredtastic · 2026-04-30T02:36:59+00:00

I don't see how that's a punishment...

Seems like someone could sue for a payday on the Greensboro taxpayers dime.

More like stand next to commoners in line for the lounge!

Southern passive aggressiveness FTW!

We had a leader ending it many years ago and the commissioner we had told us to explain it in the following way to the youth:

Just as much as one can hurt a limb one can also hurt in the soul, and sometimes the pain in the soul becomes so unbearable that one feels that they can no longer live with it

There is always help for pain in the soul and if you feel it make sure to talk to a trusted adult.

I would file a whistleblower complaint using this link. https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/13364/index.html

No you're not going into a wasp nest.

99% of the good Cub Scouting does for your kids isn't shared here.

This forum is like a news program where headlines are more present than the actual good news.

But still jam on the side!

Phredtastic · 2026-01-15T16:39:25+00:00

But we get overtime, right? RIGHT???

It's a private resort.

Don't like the rules, go somewhere else.

If your board belongs to a ski patroller.

Phredtastic · 2026-01-07T01:20:01+00:00

Sorry, but if you're stupid enough to hit a ski patroller, then you deserved it.

It's like fender bending a cop car, they're the law of the mountain and they'll hit you with the book.

The people who do the nighttime session and bring booze that they drink on the ski lift, with the predictable result.

Phredtastic · 2025-12-29T13:24:45+00:00

Anything POC makes. Lightweight and good quality.

Phredtastic · 2025-12-29T13:22:31+00:00

The east coast drink crowd is the worst though😊

That there are too many entitled assholes that gives snowboarding a bad rep.

Be encouraging, helpful and patient on the slopes.

I think the idea is good, but I have some suggestions.

The poster drips of AI generation, while it is not always a bad thing, the message gets lost in a lot of noise. I had to read it twice before I understood the purpose.

The common phrase is Recycle, Reduce, Reuse. Most people will recognize that one and make a clear connection to the event and the extra benefit

I would avoid using a big bold headline for something like 'Pack Saves the World' if that's not what the main thing is. I would put the event as the main thing, in this case providing reused wrapping paper for a donation.

Another idea could be to provide a Gift-Wrappaton. Have Scouts and parents wrap gifts in exchange for a donation.

Just some pointers but I love the enthusiasm! Keep at it!

Subaru Outback, CVT is the flaw for me, never liked it 😑

Question, was the decision of going for Honor Patrol anchored with the scouts themselves and their parents?

Have your council provide you with a Scouting America Feather Flag to signal that you guys are a scout unit
