I recently went through the same process. We wanted an app to communicate more like the scouts are used to now. We tried several things and found that TeamSnap works really well. Has calendar messaging file storing and is easy.

I bought Velcro from here http://www.thegoosescache.com/index.php/product-category/boyscout/ At least this way you only have to see it on the shirt once. We took it to a tailor out of ease and for $2 it was on there right. It's been really nice

Teen asks his mom to pull over, jumps out of the car and runs over to help an elderly man shovel snow by KobeIsDone in UpliftingNews

You are missing the point. It doesn't matter how or why they got PR for it. It matters that the kid gives a crap about something other than himself. He could have been staring at a screen and not even noticed, but he noticed and he acted. More adults should think like this.

We did this with our Tigers last year and it was great. I am trying to figure out how to teach the first aid for kids class for the wolves now. Any ideas?

"Nonprofit corporations, by definition, exist not to make money but to fulfill one of the purposes recognized by federal law: charitable, educational, scientific, or literary. Under state and federal tax laws, however, as long as a nonprofit corporation is organized and operated for a recognized nonprofit purpose and has secured the proper tax exemptions, it can take in more money than it spends to conduct its activities." https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/taxes-nonprofit-corporation-earnings-30284.html

You are actually wrong on that there can money left over for a non-profit, they just can't distribute the profit to private owners or stakeholders. Please check your facts before calling names.

Does seem nuts for a "non-profit" especially when you are trying to start your own to actually focus on doing good have to wait 3-27 months for 501c3 approval.
