Facts About JellyfIsh •A group of jellyfish is called a “bloom” or a “smack” •Jellyfish are said to be “biologically immortal ” as they can regenerate them- selves if their body starts to deteriorate through age or damage. •Jellyfish roam the seas for over 700 million years, making them the oldest multi-organ animal. •Jellyfish prefer to live in coastal areas. •Box jellyfish is one of the most venomous animals. It stings has the potential to kill humans within 5 minutes. •Jellyfish are invertebrates: They have no eyes, ears, mouth, heart, brain and bones. Their skin is so thin oxygen can pass easily through their body. •Jellyfish is 95-98% water. •Jellyfish are carnivorous. They feed on planktons, small fish, crustaceans and even jellyfish. 6 “Living indoors with- out fresh air quickly poisons the blood and makes people feel tired and seedy when they don’t know why. For myself, I sleep out of doors in winter as well as sum- mer. I only feel tired or seedy when I have been indoors a lot. I only catch cold when I sleep in a room.“ -Robert Baden Powell Philippine Scouting Magazine 1 FROM THE EDITORIAL STAFF PRESIDENT EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Nixon A. Canlapan MANAGING EDITOR: ROBERTO M.

  • Jamboree Collecting the ISCA Getting Started Collecting Series
    Jamboree Collecting The ISCA Getting Started Collecting Series The culmination of many Scouts’ experience is participation in a National Jamboree with friends from their hometown. In addition to going on tour and visiting many historical locations, Scouts get to meet other Scouts from across the country and world. It is natural to collect the Jamboree items that are part of the experience including a pocket patch, back patch, neckerchief, and so on. As you participate in the Jamboree, you will have opportunities to earn a number of awards and patches, and you will be able to trade for all kinds of Scouting memorabilia. The term “jamboree” was first applied by Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, to the exhibition of Scouts from around the world in London in August of 1920. When he was told that the definition of jamboree meant “a noisy celebration,” he thought the expression was perfect for the occasion. Thus, the first jamboree was in fact a World Jamboree (Jamboree Mondial in French), so the area of collecting Jamboree memorabilia is roughly divided into World Jamborees and National Jamborees. Most Jamboree collectors will focus on collecting one or two representative badges from each Jamboree, or will try to collect everything from just one Jamboree. It is not uncommon to see Scouters concentrate their efforts on the Jamboree they attended as a youth. Everything that is available for collecting in the broader world of Scouting memorabilia is available to collect within the Jamboree arena. Typical collections will include the Jamboree pocket patch, back patch, and ISCA-RA017R0-0704 http://www.scouttrader.org Page 1 of 10 neckerchief.

  • Sample Topics for Cub Scout Pack Policies (Rev
    Sample Topics for Cub Scout Pack Policies (Rev. 8/27/19) The Scouting program is rich in opportunity for both the enjoyment and the development of the members of Pack xxxx. To make full use of this program requires the active participation of Scouts (youth) and Scouters (adults) alike. The following statement of the policies of our Pack is intended to clarify some of the major requirements for its successful operation. Program Pack xxxx is more than just an after-school activity. It is expected that all of our Scouts will Do Their Best to: 1) live up to the Scout Oath and Law and the Outdoor Code; and 2) participate in the Scouting program offered by the Pack. Parental Involvement While the nature of the Cub Scout program relies on leadership by the registered adult leaders, supervision and guidance by parents (or guardians) is essential. In addition, there is a variety of behind-the-scenes jobs that can be performed only by adults. It is expected that all parents will participate in some manner. Regular attendance at meetings and provision of transportation to or from Pack outings is not too much to expect from all parents. Meetings <Include information such as the following:> Regular monthly meetings of the Pack will be held once a month on <give day of week, times, and location>. Any exceptions will be announced. It is expected that parents (or a guardian) will accompany their son to the Pack Meeting. Parents are responsible for the conduct of their son at the meeting. Parents are expected to set a good example for their sons and participate in the meeting.

  • Uniform Guidelines: Cub Pack 18, Troop 18
    Uniform Guidelines: Cub Pack 18, Troop 18 “The uniform makes the Boy Scout troop visible as a force for good and creates a positive youth image in the community. Boy Scouting is an action program, and wearing the uniform is an action that shows each Boy Scout's commitment to the aims and purposes of Scouting. The uniform gives the Boy Scout identity in a world brotherhood of youth who believe in the same ideals. The uniform is practical attire for Boy Scout activities and provides a way for Boy Scouts to wear the badges that show what they have accomplished” - Aims and Methods of the Scouting Program ​ Uniform Definitions BSA defines two standards of uniform. Officially the “Field Uniform,” the iconic Blue Cub Scout and Tan Scout Uniform are referred to as Class A. The Activity Shirt (The Pack/Troop T-Shirt) and Scout bottom, referred to as Class B. In our Units, we wear Class A unless the leader tells you Class B, generally when we are painting. Uniforming is never “required” but is always highly encouraged. Leaders should be in proper uniform as role models whenever possible. Parents not registered as leaders and siblings shall wear a Pack 18 or Troop 18 Class B shirt. Substitutions/Alternatives Best effort to comply with uniform guide is appreciated. Nobody is turned away for inappropriate uniforming. This guide serves to eliminate the “what is the uniform” question, the ultimate decision for what you or your child wears is up to you as parent. Troop 18 sells JCOS Kippot that are appropriate for indoor activities only, outdoor activities require a hat that provides sun protection.
