  • Do You Canoe?
    Vol. 6, No. 11 DO YOU CANOE? In this Issue: • Paddling Through the Past • How Do You Canoe? • Canoe Trekking • Northern Tier Wilderness Canoeing • Philmont's Unlikely Portage Woodcraft. Scoutcraft. Campcraft. The core crafts of the BSA include one more – the canoe – a watercraft floating through the heart of Scout adventures since the organization’s earliest days. PADDLING THROUGH THE PAST Robert Baden-Powell was a gifted artist. In Scouting for Boys, his 1908 book that laid the foundations for the Scouting movement, he included several sketches of canoes. "Scouts learn endurance in the open," Baden-Powell wrote under this drawing. "Like explorers, they carry their own burdens and paddle their own canoes." American Daniel Carter Beard, a founder of the BSA and another man skilled with pen and ink, also praised the canoe. A portage he sketched is quite a bit more dramatic than the one drawn by Baden-Powell: Mr. Beard was also loved building canoes. His technical drawings for their construction are as handsome as the boats themselves. Most canoes today are manufactured by molding together layers of plastic, fiberglass, and other materials such as bulletproof Kevlar cloth. Even the simplest canoe can launch a couple of paddlers into a day of fun and discovery on the water. HOW DO YOU CANOE? A fantastic thing about a canoe is that almost anyone can climb in and paddle across quiet water right away. A personal flotation device is important for safety. So is knowledge of what to do in the unlikely event you capsize, and a partner for sharing the experience.

  • Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN #313
    Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN Volume 54 No. 5 (Whole No. 313) SPECIAL CENTENARY EDITION SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2010 1 Editorial Well we got a bit better timing with the last issue and, hopefully, will do even better still with this one. It is interesting when one considers “club” publications and their timing, etc. Like most people I am a member of several clubs including, amongst others, The Great Eastern Railway Society. This is an historical society which studies the railway which built the network throughout East Anglia here in the UK. I was instrumental in founding the Society back in 1973 and it has always been one of my interests. The Society publish two magazines, both on a quarterly basis - on alternate quarters throughout the year. The people there don’t seem to get so hung up on the dates of publication because I have just received the January, 2010 issue of their Journal. I mentioned the forthcoming World Jamboree in the last issue and our attempts to share a base / stand with the International Badgers Club. We have now finally heard from one of the organisers, who has been given responsibility for an Historic Exhibition at the event, saying that we are welcome to assist but we must become members of our National Contingent for IST and apply through that. Needless to say the UK has long since selected their Contingents so we have had to reluctantly decline the invitation - but have offered assistance if there is anything particular which is needed. I will end this editorial with thanks for the small supply of new articles and a request for more.

  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.
