Welcome, InsaneScouter’s to another fantastic issue of The Weekly InsaneScouter. Just a quick reminder, it would really help us out if you would let your Scouting friends know about us and this newsletter. You could even forward this newsletter to them and suggest they subscribe, or maybe print it out and share it at your local roundtable. Like my dog, Jack would say, “that would be tail-wagging awesome!”.

Girl Scouts have suspended in-person cookie sales due to COVID-19, but you can still support your local troops. Girl Scouts nationwide continue to sell cookies through the Digital Cookie® platform—including the Digital Order Card and Smart Cookies™. If you know a Girl Scout, reach out to see if she’s participating and if you can buy directly from her!  No surprise, Girl Scouts are getting creative—including by reimagining cookie booths during this time of isolation. They’re using the power of social media (with parental supervision) to make their sales pitch, collect orders, and deliver or donate the cookies when it's again ......

For the latest high-profile example, look to the USNS Mercy,  the Navy hospital ship stationed in Los Angeles to help the COVID-19 fight. Capt. John Rotruck, who commands the ship’s 800 Navy medical and support personnel, is an Eagle Scout. He earned Scouting’s highest honor in 1987 as a member of the BSA’s Central Florida Council. Rotruck’s team aboard the USNS Mercy won’t handle COVID-19 cases. Instead, his crew will treat medical issues not related to ......
 

________________________________________Remember my “Rule 26”? Here it is: A bought neckerchief slide is gonna get lost; a hand-made slide, never! I’ve seen lots of photos of Scouts recently. Some are of boys in their Scouts BSA troops, and some are of girls in their Scouts BSA troops. Most are in pretty good uniforms—especially the girls, by the way! But their neckerchiefs? Ouch! They’re disasters! Yup, some neckerchiefs are well-rolled, with their “tails” kept in place by slides. Sometimes, these slides are the official ones Scout shops sell, but more often they’re rubber bands or a length of string or—occasionally—a shotgun shell ......
