President Carter was a very good man. But he was not prepared for the Presidency. Perhaps he was too good for the Office.

My favorite President ❤

My son joined scouts at nearly 12 years old (no cub scout experience, but our family was military so the content was familiar to him) figured out an easy way to land the 20 nights for the camping badge: Backpacking is three 3-day/2 night treks and one 5 day/4 night trek and this added up to TEN nights alone. By camping with his troop once a month for two nights followed with a backpacking trek once a month he was completing all his nights in less than 6 months. From what I understand this is one of the first badges scouts start and one of the last they finish and getting the 20 nights done really helps because the rest of the requirements fall into place after that. He had to go to summer camp to get his climbing MB to fulfill requirement 9b (repelling 30 feet on a campout) and attend a weeklong cub scout day camp for requirement 4 (teach webelos how to camp). He still has requirements left lol

This organization is a disgrace for letting girls and boys blend. It creates a terrible environment that’s not conducive to the morality and skills that are taught. Now there’s this always this off dynamic where both boy’s and girl’s are limited in certain ways, including acting in particular ways in front of one another. Boys and girls have plenty of time to socialize, play, learn together, work together and eventually date. What a joke. The libs that fought for combine sexes are the same libs that fight for gender equality and trans rights. This is just one more thing that people have done to disrupt the family unit and contribute to the decay of society in America. It’s very sad really…

I thought I knew everything about Carter. Of course he was involved in Scouts. He dedicated his whole life to helping others. ❤Thanks for sharing!

Interesting

What will you learn in the scout rank?

Geez Louise for safety purposes how come nobody uses double boilers anymore when melting wax? Tempting Natural Selection perhaps?

Just one small piece of info in the sash section of the video regarding the Firem'n Chit and Totin' Chip patches: according to Scouting America's Guide to Awards and Insignia, they "can be worn as a temporary patch on the left pocket, not on any pocket flaps."

My name is cooper😊

14 and working on my Life rank :)

Got my eagle during covid, so I never got my court of honor. Huge bummer :(

There are 82,209 @boyscouts Child Sex Abuse Survivors that are Claimants in @boyscouts bankruptcy. BSA will pay less than 10% of the $2.46 Billion settlement (the rest will be paid by insurance & Councils) and pay more to their attorneys than Survivors!

Thanks! Looks like fun! Love how the game spells out something Scout related.

Any advice for someone who did cut the belt? It was labeled cut to fit so that’s what I did…

What an amazing project! Congratulations, Reagan!

A scout is trustworthy loyal helpful friendly courteous kind obedient cheerful thrifty brave clean and reverent As an American I will do my best to be clean in my outdoor manners to be careful of fire be considerate of the outdoors and to be conservation minded On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to god and my country and to obey the scout law to help other people at all times and to keep myself physically, strong, mentally, awake and morally straight

Im 16 and a half and not first class yet, I still need to pass the swim test. Should I keep going towards eagle or commit my time to something better?

The way he cut the top off is very scout master 😂

Was that 1939 map of Germany?

Fascinating idea

Omg this help so much scouting is so stressful and this made it easier

I’m first class I’m 1.5 years so far

My son earned his Eagle at 15. This meant he was old enough to be followed by youth and adults, but it was not too late (17 or so) when he had to choose between school and scouts. We also said the scouts should get their wings before their wheels. Once they get their wheels, the wings will fly away. My son got his driver's license on his 18th birthday. Finally, just keep a list of the steps on the kitchen frig and ask "How bad do you want it?" Our troop has about 45 Eagles over the last 25 years.

When my son got his first badge years ago, we got an extra-long sash for him. I hemmed the top to take up about 2 inches of slack, then I sewed on a spare epaulet to it for this exact purpose. So far, it's been great. The only thing was that the kid has now grown to a point where we might need to get the longest sash because he's going to take after his great uncles and be taller than his dad and I.

I’m also working on this goal, I’m 14 and have 53, good job!

what size of copper pipe ?😅

Eagle Scout here: Take your time I was involved in several sports and extracurriculars but I loved scouting. I completed the rank when I was 16/17. But I know guys who completed it at 14

You never posted a video on how to use moleskin 😢. Also I think every first aid kit should have at least 1 ace bandage.

can you make a video on how to put a merit badge sash when i put mine on it does not look right

What an inspirational and entertaining production! By the way, I've seen Col. Fossum before and heard the story relating to the knot used there in space. Evidently, this energetic and inspiring Distinguished Eagle Scout tells the story the same way each time, BUT, there IS a difference between the constrictor knot and the clove, hitch! I recall having the same surprised reaction the first time I heard the story (I think during a national outdoor conference at Philmont). The constrictor knot is initially formed like the clove hitch, beginning with a half hitch, but instead of finishing with an additional and identical half hitch, the constrictor knot subsequently finishes with an overhand knot. (View video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYSxk3d5ocqphtUsi=QEj1yeeZMKhI8qHr). This makes it a very effective binding knot with considerably more holding power. Congratulations to the very impressive Eagle recipient, and God bless Scouting America!

Loved it! Thank you!

I earned Eagle in December 2011. I enjoyed Boy Scouts so much! I was in a great troop, and we always did lots of fun stuff. Of course it took a lot of work to make it to Eagle. All I can say to those who are close to making Eagle, don’t give up. Stay confident, and always put your best foot forward. You can do it!

As a Filipino, those conditions are very normal. The heat, bad CR's and typhoons are very normal. I think the problem is with the other countries, who didn't experience these conditions before.

Thank you! That really helped me with my boys cubscout uniform

The Taught-line hitch is tied wrong. The last wrap of the running end should have followed the same direction as the first two wraps (Over not Under the standing part)

My goals to be international scout so what can I do?

I earned my Eagle Scout award in 1965 along with a Bronze, Gold and Silver Palms. In addition I was acknowledged as a "Distinguished Eagle Scout", a recognition afforded to very few Eagle Scouts.

Wow! That is quite an accomplishment

The National Council has successfully shot itself and is now bleeding membership profusely. Baden Powell designed the program for Boys. Krone, a volunteer, has killed the entire reason the organization was formed

Thank you ⚜️ terrific ideas! 😊

I got Springbok scout last month, a South African equivalent to Eagle scout

Man, that crust came out perfect. Question, I noticed your troop patches where gray and not red. Is that a new style? Thanks.

Is this a Simple whipping?

I am an Eagle, 1995. Eagle is a journey, it's not a race.

This isn’t taking into account the merit badges you need and the time some of them take...

My wife and I joined Scouting as leaders in 1985 when our son joined a new program called Tiger Cubs. She went on to work at our local council office, while I retired in 2020. I served in all levels of adult leadership with Pack, Troop, Team, Crew, and as a district and council adult leader/trainer. I saw a large number of scouts who had completed the Eagle requirements by age 13. The largest numbers were members of a church no longer associated in scouting. During my time, I also served for about 15 years in adult district and council roles. Including Eagle Scout boards of reviews. As a Scoutmaster, I endorsed, referred or reviewed many young men for their boards. I also, by a scout's completion of all requirements, referred, but did not favorably or negatively endorse a few scouts. It always made for interesting boards of review. Board members from my own troop would always question my curious position. As THE troop Scoutmaster, I was required to acknowledge and verify all of the scout's completed requirements, however if I felt the scout needed more time in an actual leadership role, not simply one on paper. OR I felt that their maturity level wasn't ready, I declined to comment further. Seasoned board members came to understand me, and my position, while parents from my troop may not have. Curiously in one family that happened twice with two brothers. One thought I was being unfair and hard on him, and he transferred to another unit, where he received his Eagle. His brother chose to remain, and after he showed he was an Eagle, not only on paper, but in spirit, leadership and maturity, he joined almost 200 fellow scouts on our Eagle's Nest board. A testament of scouts from 1927, until my retirement in 2018. Several more of my scouts achieved their Eagle after I turned over leadership of the troop. Sadly, the troop was allowed to fold just short of its 95th year of continuous charter to its Charter Partner. Alumni of the troop and the Nest included many successful leaders of our community. And heroes who served in our military in every war and conflict from the past into recent times. I was a dinosaur Scoutmaster, whose time had come. While there have been many changes to the program over the years, including the massive restructuring that occurred after I retired, I will say that I believed as a Scouter then, and to this day, that having a co-ed program was way overdue. I am happy to see that scouting is available to all who wish to join, and achieve its highest rank, hopefully becoming the leader's our republic need today and in our future.

That is always true Be Eagle Scout stay a eagle Scout
