Boy Scouts

The original Boy Scout handbook has changed a lot! For one thing, it had very few merit badges, one of which was master of arms (martial arts).

Name one Class I or regional railroad. Explain what major cities it serves, the locations of major terminals, service facilities, and crew change points, and the major commodities it carries.

In our district (and I think Council) Floodles are used at Day Camp as a recognition (unlike Girl Scout Swaps which are traded between girls) and each pack makes them. You can give them to another pack who shows spirit, has a neat unit home, or is nice to you in some way. You also give them to the staff as a thank you after each activity.

Staff gives them to packs who are the most well behaved and polite. The staff also has specific floodles for things like clean unit home, etc.

Floodles are anything you can put your pack number on. They have to be able to be attached, usually with a string or safety pin. Packs attach them to a flag, staff attach them to a cord which can be worn around the neck or hung up at their station.

You can get something ready made, like a cheap plastic keychain (a plastic compass is a good example) and just write your pack number on it. You can be very creative and make something out of clay, beads, wood, etc. Paint it, write your pack number, etc. You can create something out of clip art, print it off and laminate it. The possibilities are endless.

Some things to consider: Do NOT use any food, as it will attract critters. Also, although it never rains at Day Camp, it does often mist heavily so things that will hold up to a bit (or a lot!) of moisture are best. If you use water soluble paint, you might want to seal it somehow, and air dry clays are sometimes softened in wet weather.

If you are familiar with Girl Scout Swaps, you know they are generally small, around the size of a half dollar or smaller... Floodles are more the size of a playing card.

Beyond that, anything goes! Have fun, but don't stress: Keep it Simple, Make it Fun!

There is an amazing site- MeritBadgeDotOrg, dedicated to helping scouts advance. They have requirements and worksheets for every merit badge and a great deal more. See the related link to their page for Crime Prevention.

The Scribe keeps the troop records. He records the activities of the patrol leaders' council and keeps a record of dues, advancement, and Scout attendance at troop meetings. He attends the patrol leaders' council but generally is not a voting member.

Yes.

Hank Aaron, William "Bill" Bradley and John Konack are commonly found on lists of famous Eagle scouts. There are plenty of others, for instance, Dennis Pitta of the Baltimore Ravens is one that you do not see commonly mentioned.

If by "friendship badge" you mean the round, purple badge with the fleur-de-lys, rope, and stars, The BSA call it the "World Crest" and it is worn by all members of the BSA, except Sea Scouts, above the left pocket, centered half ay between the top of the pocket and the shoulder seam.

Sea Scouts do not wear the World Crest at this time on any of their uniforms.

Eisenhower was born in 1890, and the Boy Scouts did not come to the United States until 1910. Eisenhower's son John was a Boy Scout. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the first scout to become U.S. President.

Yes. .

Rush Limbaugh labelled him, "The last Boy Scout," and, according to the BSA website, he was a youth member of the BSA. He was not an Eagle Scout.

As of October 2011 - A search of ebay's complete auctions shows no past sails.

One recently concluded where the person asked for $2000 but it did not sell. Right now I can find several auctions running for $1200-1500 on gun websites (not ebay) that also have no bidders.

Based on all of this I would guess it is worth somewhere around $1000 with higher values being a stretch.

If you want to sell it soon I would list it for $900-1000 and then relist for less until you get interested. If you are willing to leave it on a site like ebay for a long time I would list higher and let it sit. I would expect less than $1000 (possibly as low as $500) from a gun dealer.

Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of scouting, was the son of an Anglican priest and mathematics professor and a member of the Church of England.

He always held that religion was implicit to the goals of scouting. Initially his writing specified Christianity but as the world scouting movement spread across the globe he broadened his language to include other religions (in scouting - not necessarily his personal views).

"We aim for the practice of Christianity in their everyday life and dealings, and not merely the profession of theology on Sundays." - Scouting for Boys, 1908

"It [religion] does not come in [to scouting] at all. It is already there. It is a fundamental factor underlying Scouting and Guiding." - Religion and the Boy Scout and Girl Guides Movement-- an address, 1926.

In the nuclear science merit badge book.

Because the eagle is the symbol of the United States. The June 1911 Official Handbook for Boys called it Wolf Scout but it was changed to Eagle Scout in the August 1911 edition. For more history, see the related link.

To be the best person you can be.

Skinning an animal is an activity that would not be allowed by the Girl Scout safety guidelines, so, as a Girl Scout member, girls would not be skinning an animal.

However, this might be an activity they do with their families.

The badge has a black kettle within a green circle. You can find images on eBay.

Go to Google, enter the information your looking for, then press enter, and you'll see different websites.

The purpose of the Boy Scouts of America is to help build leadership and high values in boys.

Rick Perry definitely is an Eagle. Mitt Romney was a Scout, but I do not believe he achieved Eagle (It is not surprising that he was a scout since he is LDS).
