Not many people on this BBS are interested in the echoes, strangely enough.

I found a leader at the MA> Detroit Trade-O-Re last November that sold them as a kit with the MA> leather thongs and instructions. So I thank you very much for MA> thinking of me. It was that long ago? Wow.. I thought it was fairly recently that you asked. :) Now how long have I been in Scouting? I just joined Cubs yesterday... or almost. (My grade 2 teacher suggested that I join Cubs, I think.) pat --- FMail 0.94 * Origin: /\ Scouting Online BBS /\ Pierrefonds Pq Canada (1:167/155) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 237 SCOUTING #2 Ref: C4F00025 Date: 04/10/95 From: TREVER ADAMS Time: 12:59am \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: EAGLE PROJECt I know that all persons getting there Eagle must do a project.

The best one I ever heard was forming a Venturer company on a canoe trip and telling someone at the end that they WOULD be our advisor. That was my company (which is behind me now). How'd I get into to doing this you ask? I volunteered.

Can I help find any other info? In one of your responses about the "life span" of SM you said that beads don't make a good Scout Leader. Well that is not entirly correct. Any training that you can take helps somewhere. Even camp crafts which I thought I knew inside and out, was educational and most of all FUN. You see what it is like to be one of the boys again, and meet a wonderful group of people, your patrol. This training also exposes you to a world of new resourses that you may not have been aware of in the past. In all the training lets you see that the Scouting program does care about the quality of program that is being offered to our future leaders. I was a Scout as a boy (Eagle), but my leadership role is only 2 years old now. This training got me up to speed quicker and with more fun than if I had just endured for many years to come. Don't down play it's inportance to much, It's well worth it. YIS Tom Gillard Jr. --- GOMail v1.2 [92-0081] * Origin: *The ELk River BBS (615) 454-2295 455-1019* (1:3622/1000)
