Musings of a Wood Badge critter. Face-to-face training – the end of an era? When I went though my initial training as a Tiger Den Leader, the only option I had for Cub Scout Leader Position Specific Training was face-to-face. On that same January day I also took Youth Protection training and Health and Safety training. All of the classes were well-attended. It was a very enjoyable day and I learned quite a bit. Now we’ve seen all of our classes shrink. Where we might have 40 individuals signed ...There i...

Musings of a Wood Badge critter. The Philmont fitness challenge begins! Bull;April 25, 2011 • Leave a Comment. Last Monday I revealed my first ticket item for Wood Badge. Was to lower my blood pressure to BSA standards for high adventure activity. This is one of the requirements if you want to take the Philmont Leadership Challenge. Bull;April 24, 2011 • Leave a Comment. I have my own ideas on this that I’ll share here shortly. But at the risk of opening a can of worms and spawning a barrage of...The for...

Scout Own: A day of rest | The Contemplative Bobwhite
https://thecontemplativebobwhite.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/scout-own-a-day-of-rest
Musings of a Wood Badge critter. Scout Own: A day of rest. I really enjoy Sundays. Not just because it is a day of reflection and worship. But because it is a day of rest. What better way to recharge our batteries and mentally prepare ourselves for the week to come? For my wife, this Sunday was particularly restful as she was treated to a massage and peticure that she’s been waiting for since last April. A well-deserved rest bit for a wonderful wife and mother.

Pack meeting: Ending the school year | The Contemplative Bobwhite
https://thecontemplativebobwhite.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/pack-meeting-ending-the-school-year
Musings of a Wood Badge critter. Pack meeting: Ending the school year. A number of the boys attended either Day Camp or Magness Adventure Camp (our council’s 3-day resident family camp) this past year. But only a couple had worked to complete their Outdoor Activity Award. As you can see, if they attended a camp and earned rank, they are well on their way. And this is an award. That can be earned again each year, garnering a Wolf Track device to wear on the patch. By Michael Forner on April 27, 2011.

Reveille every morning. Literally! | The Contemplative Bobwhite
https://thecontemplativebobwhite.wordpress.com/2011/04/26/reveille-every-morning-literally
Musings of a Wood Badge critter. Reveille every morning. Literally! I found this great Android application for my smart phone entitled “US Army Bugle Calls” by FA53. This is one of those free, simple apps that brings hours of enjoyment. More importantly, it serves a purpose. It turns out you can set any of the bugle calls to be a ringtone, notification or alarm. Ooooh! That’s the one for me! And just what I need to get me out of bed in the morning and remind me to work my ticket! Enter your comment here.

On to Cub Scout Day Camp! | The Contemplative Bobwhite
https://thecontemplativebobwhite.wordpress.com/2011/04/28/on-to-cub-scout-day-camp
Musings of a Wood Badge critter. On to Cub Scout Day Camp! In a previous post. I extolled the virtues of my Camp Program Director. And while she is deserving of all the praise I gave her, I was completely blown out of the water when she walked into our meeting tonight with the complete camp program planned almost beat for beat! And I’m not just talking about something like “we should play kick ball here and shoot archery here.” I mean, she had everything:. A list of staffers required;. And what a relief!

Musings of a Wood Badge critter. Wood Badge song for Cub Scouts. I got a kick out of @ScouterAdam’s blog. I used to be a TIGER. An awesome TIGER, too. But now I’m through with TIGER-ing. And I know what to do! I’ve finished my Achievements. BUT I STILL WANT SOME MORE! So I’m going to be a WOLF Cub yes I am! I’m a Cub Scout, yes I am! I’m going to do the very best I can! I used to be a LEADER. An awesome LEADER, too. I’m not quite through with LEADER-ing. And I know what to do! I’m a Cub Scout, yes I am!

Scouting 365: Summertime Pack Award | The Contemplative Bobwhite
https://thecontemplativebobwhite.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/scouting-365-summertime-pack-award
Musings of a Wood Badge critter. Scouting 365: Summertime Pack Award. Enter the National Summertime Pack Award. This recognition is arguably one of the easiest to earn and encourages packs to provide year-round programming and foster the idea that Scouting is a 365-day-a-year activity. What makes this award particularly appealing, aside from its simplicity, is that fact that it has several different parts: a pack award, a den award and an individual award.
