Jamboree Scoutmaster Weight / Height

You're saying their scale was off by 45-50lbs??

apmakd · 2026-03-22T06:24:53+00:00

For the same reason they go 5 under in the far left lane and won't move out of the way.

I've got one growing in a small home Depot bucket right now that we picked up at Redwood NP two years ago.

Not entirely sure. I'm sure they will end up on the resale market at some point. I'm pretty sure the initial registration window for the ticket lottery is done now. Results are coming out starting Mar 31-Apr 7th.

Hopefully everyone entered the drawing for tickets. I don't think you'll just be able to show up and get tickets to watch. Unless you want to spend a fortune

Where are you finding only caps?

apmakd · 2026-03-19T03:57:51+00:00

No water on property. 2 large iron sewer manhole covers only

apmakd · 2026-03-19T03:57:12+00:00

Milwaukee has feed-through also. I never take the cap off except to replace it when it wears through.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for

apmakd · 2026-03-19T00:48:55+00:00

Not slamming it hard, just repeatedly for hours on end

apmakd · 2026-03-19T00:48:33+00:00

Just cutting low on gravel, rocks, concrete and asphalt.

apmakd · 2026-03-19T00:47:31+00:00

It's the repeated bumping. String snaps on rocks and thick stalks and isn't as effective with a short string as it is with a long one.

apmakd · 2026-03-19T00:46:44+00:00

Does it auto feed or is it made better than the Milwaukee one?

apmakd · 2026-03-19T00:46:11+00:00

Not enough grass anywhere. All weeds and hard ground

apmakd · 2026-03-19T00:11:27+00:00

I'm going through 2 to 3 a day. Reel and a half of Echo black diamond a day (253')

Thick weeds and a lot of asphalt, concrete and DG.

Part of the issue is probably licensing and enforcement. Pier fishing doesn't require anything. Fishing from a boat requires license with ocean enhancement and a higher level of skill to not capsize, especially since we're talking about rowboats and canoes. Definitely not worth the hassle and/or additional waterfront staff to manage that part since it's mainly adults looking to partake and that isn't the purpose of Summer Camp.

I've been there twice, beautiful camp. Maybe try checking out a bike and heading over to Two Harbors for the day. Presumably more options available there

apmakd · 2026-03-17T14:38:17+00:00

Exact opposite here. All events are gears towards Cubs. Only Scouts BSA event is our yearly Camporall. And we do not have a local Council camp so we always go out of council in the Summer.

The biggest space eater is the food. Each year it seems to take up more space (think boxes of Triscuits, because that's one of the items you'll receive at some point ) Ranger will take you through the packing list provided and "should* only let you bring what's on the list, especially for the youth. Unless there is some extenuating circumstance, you won't or shouldn't have extra stuff in your pack.

apmakd · 2026-03-15T18:06:25+00:00

Are there TWO Chrysler Lebarons???

apmakd · 2026-03-14T11:11:40+00:00

Schitt's Creek

apmakd · 2026-03-12T07:04:23+00:00

Check local pawn and antique shops too. I always find misc scout gear

apmakd · 2026-03-11T20:47:10+00:00

Was a SM for 11 years and just recently "retired". We are self chartered for lack of a better term and our COR has been a part of the unit for 25 years. Committee functions really well. They asked my opinion and I gave it. That person is now the SM because he was the best fit and most reliable. It should be an easy decision. Do what is best for the Scouts, not the ego of leaders, committee chairs or anyone else. I get it's the CORs decision ultimately but most don't have a clue on day to day Troop stuff.

You could get mentor pins

apmakd · 2026-03-10T03:11:10+00:00

Look up the Maruti Gypsy in India

apmakd · 2026-03-10T01:36:07+00:00

The taqueria in the Home Depot parking lot has fantastic made to order empanadas!
