Guest post from Maria, Girl Scout alum, Girl Scout Volunteer, and currently serving in the Air Force. The basic tenets of the Girls Scout Mission that I learned and embraced growing up in Girl Scouting—courage, confidence, and character—made my transition to military life quite a bit easier and enabled me to be successful. Let’s take courage, for instance. It took courage just to enlist in the military, which is not a traditional career for most women. The similarities were apparent right from the beginning. All of the girls were organized in troops and we had ......Â
Blake Vogt is a professional magician who performed before millions on live TV on America’s Got Talent. In this trick, Vogt introduces what magicians call a “key card.†All you need is a regular deck of cards. STEP 1 Before telling your friends that you’re going to perform a little magic for them, make sure you know which card is on the bottom of the deck. This is your key card. STEP 2 Fan out the cards and ask a friend to pick a card, any card. Tell them not to show it to you, just to memorize ......Â
When a group of people with similar interests spends a lot of time together, they often come up with their own language that no one else would understand. For a group of Venturers from Houston, Texas, on a canoe trip through the swamps of South Louisiana, the key word was “storming.†And, no, they weren’t talking about the weather. On a challenging trek like this one, everybody has to work together to accomplish a common goal: exploring a unique environment that many have seen on TV or in movies but few ever get to experience in person. When the whole ......Â
For many Scouters, a high-adventure base is like a second home. Anyone who has spent time at Sea Base, the Summit Bechtel Reserve, Northern Tier or Philmont understands what I mean. These places change you, challenge you and build memories that stay with you for life. All these warm feelings are best shared with others. That explains why each of the BSA’s four national high-adventure bases has an alumni association, empowering former participants, conference attendees or staff members to stay connected to these Scouting destinations. Through online outlets and in-person gatherings, members share memories, make new friends and learn how ......Â
Medals of honor await eight Scouts and two Scout leaders from Troop 444 in the Arapahoe District for their lifesaving and meritorious actions on Lake Wellington in Elbert, Colorado. On July 20, 2018, an intense downburst of wind from the base of a thunderstorm, also known as a microburst, hit Wellington Lake sweeping paddle boarders and a kayaker into the dangerous waters. The Scouts and leaders witnessed the terrifying incident and immediately acted to save lives. “With conspicuous bravery, these Scouts and leaders quickly launched watercraft to rescue a total ......Â

Swamp Base offers two paddling treks in the summer. One is 61 miles and one is 74 miles. In the shorter trek, you sleep in cabins on the water. The longer trek requires participants to set up primitive campsites and sleep in jungle hammocks! Unless you bring your own paddle, canoeing at Swamp Base uses kayak paddles. Swamp Base officials prefer kayak paddles so Scouts don’t have to switch sides or use the J-stroke to move. They find it easier and more efficient to turn the boat, correct your direction, stop and accelerate, all of which is critical in ......

I see from your website it's $230 per year (173 US) and your organization budgets additional income including: Popcorn sales - $17 per member, Scout Shop revenue - $7 per member, Donations and sponsorships - $14 per member, and Grants and investment income - $22 per member. I am not familiar with your national charter, if you have councils and if so, rates do they vary from one to another? What all does your annual fee include? submitted by /u/DroolingSlothCarpet [link] [comments]...
