Don't let on ... it could be construed as not being prepared ...

i was never in Boyscouts growing up. My family taught me all i needed to know. Unfortunately, today's society doesn't allow that all that much any more and there are kids who live right here, 45 minutes away from the Sierras that have never been to the mountains.
Lol. i WILL be prepared for our outings. i learned today that when it gets overwhelming, BSA suggests that the adult take a ten minute walk/timeout to gather his thoughts. Should work out well if i take about 3-4 walks a dayDon't let on ... it could be construed as not being prepared ...
I can't imagine. When I was in school, all we did was throw a keg in the back of the truck and take a 15 minute drive up the mountains every weekend. You learn the mountains REAL quick around here. lol
Before our boys can even wade across a 6" deep creek, i must be BSA lifeguard certified.
I have zero experience with Scouts and Scouting. I riffed on their motto.Lol. i WILL be prepared for our outings. i learned today that when it gets overwhelming, BSA suggests that the adult take a ten minute walk/timeout to gather his thoughts. Should work out well if i take about 3-4 walks a day
However, if they give you that advice, I would be very surprised if they didn't have a stash of activities that can "cover for you" on those ten-minute wit-gathering missions ... cn
I was in a flash flood once, and that makes very good sense to me. Six inches of fast water can dump a WWF fighter. cn
They definitely do! The boys can rest, eat, continue without me (if there are other leaders, enough so we always have two adults with the kids), check gear, etc.I have zero experience with Scouts and Scouting. I riffed on their motto.
Yeah, trying to decide how i'll personally handle that issue. Got no problems myself but am expected to uphold their guidelines. Guess if it comes down to it, my views will ostracize me from that organization too. Just trying to educate my boy in real world matters.
I'm not judging or anything. I think it's a great program. Mormons are hip deep in Boyscouts and I spent most of my childhood in one troop or another.
Well, we're not supposed to be doing any activities that detract from the sabbath. It's supposed to be spent contemplating the plan of salvation, visiting the sick and elderly and generally being bored to tears. No movie theaters, no eating in restaurants or shopping. You're not even supposed to be cooking meals. Usually they are prepared the night before. I spent many a Sunday eating cold fried chicken.

Oh I'm in complete agreement, but, church policy is church policy. LOL
