I have been SH-> having similar problems with my troop too. We have very little SH-> parent involvement, and the kids are undisciplined and don't care SH-> much. We also have a lot of kids with ADD as well. Can anyone SH-> help? Here is what I did. Right at the beginning of the year (the first meeting, in fact), I passed out a three page document outlining rules, regulations, dress code, conduct of the boys, etc. I have not had any problems. This has increased parental involvement, as the parents feel better about being informed as to Troop regulations, activities, etc. Try monthly newsletters home; I seem to get pretty good results. Good Luck!

Any collectors of old Boy Scout hatchets out there? I have several I inheirited. They have been cleaned up by my deceased stepfather who was a professional polisher. I know that decreased their value, but it allowed the scouting insignia's to be seen. Give me a message if you have any interest!

My troop has been having many scoutmaster problems, you know one person wants to be scoutmaster and the committee doesn't want him even in the program. Also many kids are leaving the troop because they say it's just not fun anymore. The PLC and I have tried our hardest to make meetings fun but our sense of fun is not the hit-em hard rough-em up stuff, any suggestions? Also our troop has been having problems recruiting, esp. from the cub scouts. --- FMail/386 1.0g * Origin: Eric's BBs --- E Providence RI --- 401.434.6658 (1:323/1023) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 237 SCOUTING #2 Ref: DEC00001 Date: 10/02/96 From: NICHOLAS VAHALIK Time: 07:19pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: Looking for Penpal I am 12 yrs. old and looking for a penpal.
