Fire Bans and Cooking Requirement for Advancement A significant part of the country is currently under fire bans that prevent the use of open flames outdoors. Some of these bans have been in effect more than six months and are preventing Scouts from completing Tenderfoot requirement 3 and Second Class requirements 2e, 2f, and 2g. The National Advancement Committee has approved the substitution, during periods of fire bans only of the use of a cook stove or, when no outdoor cooking is allowed, completion of these requirements over a kitchen stove. Please appreciate the importance of these exceptions to Scouts and leaders currently working on these requirements. These substitutions are allowed only during periods of fire bans. Terry C.

  • Scouts…Earn Your Way to Scout Camp Free!!
    SCOUTER The Mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. 2 ~ MARCH/APRIL 2009 HOORAY FOR HEROES Scouter “We have been following the plan!” “We have been following the plan!” Sometimes it’s beyond my reach to fi nd an inspirational Scouting topic to share with everybody who actually reads this article (all 55 of you at last count!). Then again, sometimes ideas just materialize out of the blue! Each February, as anyone who has been in Scouting for fi ve minutes knows, is our month to celebrate the anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America and for every Cub Scout pack in the United States (and beyond) to put on a spectacular Blue and Gold banquet. This past February 28, I had the opportunity to be a guest of Cub Scout Pack 3026 in Allegan. (Thank you Cubmaster Frank Andrews and leaders!) What a fantastic Blue and Gold program and an extremely well run Cub Scout Pack! Now, your question to me should be: “What are your criteria for making such a statement?” Well, I am glad you asked (you did ask, right? ). Here are the quality points I watched for: 1) Super cool invitation related to the Blue and Gold theme 2) Cub Scout greeters at the door 3) Well laid-out and colorful, themed items throughout (wall decorations, table centerpieces, etc.) 4) Reserved places or tables for guests 5) Well thought-out dinner or food service plan 6) Seating by dens with each parent having a table role to perform 7) Lots and lots of properly uniformed
