Hi All, can you help me with the mechanics of rolling out scoutbook for a pack? Last year I was in a pack where we used scoutbook to check of our children's achievements. This year I'm cubmaster in a small pack. How do we: -Get parents on scoutbook? -Set it up best to allow them/den leaders to check off achievements? -Troubleshoot problems or make this easier? This may turn out to be super easy. Who is normally the person in the pack who oversees this? Thanks! Jonathan submitted by /u/violindad [link] ......Â
I’m making a bocce ball court for a special needs facility, and because the ground was unlevel and I needed to make a retaining wall I am way over budget. Any ideas on how to raise the additional hundreds? submitted by /u/CeaseThyHeresy [link] [comments]...Â
I am not able to find a clear answer anywhere, I am going to ask this as direct as possible...When getting knives for Bears, do they need a pen knife, jack knife or multipurpose knife? It seems to me that a locking blade jack knife would be the most safe, but Bear Claws 3B makes me think that a multipurpose would be the correct choice. submitted by /u/brioche74 [link] [comments]...
