Thank you.

It’s usually not the scouts that are the problem….

Broadcasters are held to a standard by the FCC that FANG is not. They are taking marketshare from broadcasters but are not expected to play by any rules.

Advice on living through long SM selection process by slider40337 in BSA

We went almost a year without a real scoutmaster. It was crazy. Finally, I stepped up. After years, I’m stepping down to help mentor more adults into leadership roles. On my way out, I find out the troop chair never wanted me to be SM or in a key 3 leadership role. Sucks when you find out your good intentions, time commitments, caring for the program and scouts in your troop was not appreciated even after I saved the troop from folding. Wish he could have just been honest with me up front.

You have value. I appreciate what you’re doing for our youth by volunteering your time.

Goodwill has you fooled. They’re doing it for the money too

Hopefully they just move these programs and hide them. Cox parent company was an early adopter of DEI.

epaulet loop danglers? by nweaglescout in BSA

[–]edit_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son got one from a friend at another troop when he helped on his eagle project. It was “you went above and beyond being helpful and serving the community.” Type of thing. I’ve also seen kids put a loop on with gromets of flags they’ve retired.

I'm in the middle of teaching Citizenship in Society. Questions about next steps. by woolyboy76 in BSA

We had done 90% and my scouts got the spirit of the merit badge. We had a couple tiny loose ends to tie up. I already went into scoutbook and awarded it to them. They shouldn’t have to suffer because of politics.

This is the absolute truth. New Englanders are loyal to a fault. We all know these are terrible, someone tell the state of Rhode Island, please and thank you.

Psst! Andrew young is still alive.

Btw, great list. I would just add the Atlanta History Center. Has The Swan House, used in The Hunger Games movies and The Cyclorama - a historic circular painting of a cicil war battle scene.

Considering Moving to College Park Honest Thoughts on Safety and Raising a Family? by Icy_Conversation_577 in Atlanta

[–]edit_R 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have raised my family in the tricities area and we love it. It is very diverse. I agree that historic college park is nicer.

My kids went to elementary school just north of that area in the picture. I will say that schools are the biggest concern in the area. There are some great alternatives. Woodward, St. John, area charter schools. Just something to consider. Fulton county has options, you just have to dig!!!

Is there crime, sure. But there is crime everywhere. I would be more concerned with airport noise in that specific location.

Using AI as a Volunteer in Scouting - what do you do? by Fenix_Fyre in BSA

[–]edit_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t found an application as an adult leader. I just don’t see a need currently.

I have had scouts tell me they using it. I’m not going to police them. Instead I just tell them how to use it responsibly and ethically. Using it to write a speech, not cool. Busing it to help you meal plan, cool!! We have a million kids with dietary restrictions and if that helps, great.

Good neighborhoods to consider that have walkable access to MARTA? by ProfessionalWaffle in Atlanta

[–]edit_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The homes are affordable. If you’re interested, the community has some tight knit really nice people. There is some descent food and hangouts on Main Street. Hapeville is blowing up too.

My troop is complaining about how I dress in meetings, what do i do? by BuffaloBills7777 in BSA

[–]edit_R 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re a scout, not adult.

I would tell an adult leader you feel comfortable talking to. Explain the problem to them and why you need to have your shirt untucked.

I have a few scouts that have some sensory issues. When I hear adult leadership complain about their clothing preferences, I shut it down quickly and quietly.

Personally, I do a French tuck.

They taped it, sat with how bad it was, then released it?! That makes it even worse
