Today, the Scouting Movement is a worldwide movement with the aim of supporting young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development so that they may play constructive roles in society.
1,200 Questions
The answer to this is has become complicated recently. Generally, no, boys are not allowed to join Girl Scouts until they are at least 18 years old and join as an adult.
However, as an inclusive organization, if a child identifies as a girl and the child's family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout.
What are the oceanography merit badge answers?
The purpose of doing the questions is to have you learn about the subject by reading the book, speaking to your counselor and using other resources. We would be doing a disservice to you and the scouting program if we just handed you the answers here.
I suggest doing your best to work out the answers to the questions. If there is a particular area that you are not sure about you should ask the specific question in the relevant section.
When and why was the scout asssociation created?
I'm assuming you mean BSA (Boy Scouts of America)? If so, it was founded in 1910 to serve the purpose of teaching boys and teenagers useful life and outdoor skills, as well as act as a social activity that would build lasting memories.
What is the required amount of attendance to become an eagle scout?
To join as a scout you must be 11 or have completed the 5th grade.
To be a first class scout required 10 "troop activities", 3 of which must involve over-night camping. Assuming that a fairly active troop will go on 1-2 outings per month this will take 5-10 months to accomplish (more likely about a year - especially after you figure in the time to pass the board of review).
Star scout requires 4 months as a 1st Class scout.
Life scout requires 6 months as a Star scout.
Eagle requires 6 months as a Life scout.
This comes to 16 months plus the time to make 1 st class plus the time for all of those boards of review so there is no single concrete minimum. Doing it in 2 years is not possible in most troops/ councils. 3 years is probably about as fast as Eagle can be realistically earned.
Yes!
Scouts frequently do activities that are physical such as hike, canoe, ride bikes, swim, rick climb etc.
To reach Eagle they are required to earn the Personal fitness merit badge, which requires exercise.
There is a stereotype that scouts are nonathletic, and some are, however, scouts are more likely to participate in outdoors activities and be the captains of their sports teams than non-scouts.
Is there a fencing merit badge?
Yes, there is a fencing merit badge in the Boy Scouts of America. The badge encourages scouts to learn the basics of fencing, including techniques, rules, and safety practices. To earn the badge, scouts must demonstrate their skills and knowledge in fencing through practice and participation in matches.
In boy scouts the leader of the troup is a Scout master not a den leader. A den leader is the leader of the cub scout pack. A Charter Organization Rep. can wear many hats. He or she, may be a den leader or troup leader, committee member, advisor, merit badge counsler, but the Rep is also a District Scout Leader. Having one who is active rather than just a figurehead just gives the unit another adult who is willing to help!

squad

Where can you buy Boy Scout uniforms in Sharon PA?
In general, to find a local official scout shop.
From that search engine there are 4 locations listed within 25 miles of Sharon PA. It is a good idea to call ahead to confirm hours and make sure they have what you want.
Outdoor Recreational - Distributor - 15.7 Miles
Mickey Army Surplus - Distributor - 17.0 Miles
Family Craft Center - Distributor - 17.1 Miles
Greater Western Council - Council Shop - 20.0 Miles
For inexpensive used uniforms (sometimes very slightly used) try checking Craig's List or Ebay.
You can order the things online if you are sure of sizing. They frequently have back orders and are not great about letting you know when things will come in so I prefer to go to the store whenever possible. See related links

Original Scout Vespers
(tune of O Christmas Tree)
Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away.
Silently each Scout should ask,
"Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
Everything to Be Prepared?" On My HonorOn my honor I'll do my best
To do my duty to God.
On my honor I'll do my best
To serve my country as I may.
On my honor I'll do my best
To do a good turn each day.
To keep my body strengthened.
To keep my mind awakend.
To follow paths of righteousness..
On my honor, I'll do my best.

1. Now as I start upon my chosen way,
In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play;
Grant as I Promise, Courage, Lord for me
To be the best, the Best that I can be.
2. Help me to keep my Honour shining bright
May I be loyal in the hardest fight;
Let me be able for my task and then
To earn a place among my fellow men.
3. Open mine eyes to see things as I should,
That I may do my daily turn of good
Let me be ready, waiting for each need
To keep me clean in thought and word and deed.
4. So as I journey on my chosen way,
In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play,
Grant as I Promise, Courage, Lord for me
To be the best, the Best that I can be.
