Have any of you > got some funny ones???? - You can stay home instead and get the same abuse, only it will be much quieter. - Remember that old Scouting quote that says "...and if you're a volunteer Scouter you pay to be in Scouting...", the buck STARTS with the Scoutmaster. - You don't want to have to replace your car every 18 months. - Remember that "two hours a week", it's now two hours a day. - You will never again be able to say "not my job!" - You will always hear your Scouts saying "you have to go first, you're the Scoutmaster." - And the final reason not to become a Scoutmaster: You'll disappoint all your friends who always considered you a fairly intelligent person. -- Robert Caron Troop Committee Secretary, Northborough Troop 101 Brotherhood, Chippanyonk #59 Massachusetts From Scouts-L@tcu.edu Fri Oct 10 03:39:28 1997 Return-Path: Scouts-L@tcu.edu Received: from outbound.Princeton.EDU (outbound.Princeton.EDU [128.112.128.84]) by cap1.CapAccess.org (8.6.12/8.6.10) with ESMTP id DAA10773; Fri, 10 Oct 1997 03:39:28 -0400 Received: from lightpost by outbound.Princeton.EDU with SMTP id <542539-6464>; Fri, 10 Oct 1997 03:31:44 -0400 Received: from pucc.Princeton.EDU (pucc.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.99]) by outbound.Princeton.EDU (8.8.0/8.6.12) with SMTP id DAA18916; Fri, 10 Oct 1997 03:28:18 -0400 (EDT) Received: from TCUBVM.IS.TCU.EDU (NJE origin MAILER@TCUBVM) by PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU (LMail V1.2a/1.8a) with BSMTP id 7248; Fri, 10 Oct 1997 03:25:19 -0400 Received: from TCUBVM.IS.TCU.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@TCUBVM) by TCUBVM.IS.TCU.EDU (LMail V1.2a/1.8a) with BSMTP id 5414; Fri, 10 Oct 1997 01:37:12 -0500 Received: from TCUBVM.IS.TCU.EDU by TCUBVM.IS.TCU.EDU (LISTSERV release 1.8b) with NJE id 3675 for SCOUTS-L@TCUBVM.IS.TCU.EDU; Fri, 10 Oct 1997 01:34:41 -0500 Received: from TCUBVM (NJE origin SMTP@TCUBVM) by TCUBVM.IS.TCU.EDU (LMail V1.2a/1.8a) with BSMTP id 3674; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 15:20:59 -0500 Received: from ALPHA.IS.TCU.EDU by tcubvm.is.tcu.edu (IBM VM SMTP V2R2) with TCP; Thu, 09 Oct 97 15:20:56 CDT Received: from emout16.mx.aol.com (emout16.mx.aol.com) by ALPHA.IS.TCU.EDU (PMDF V5.0-5 #20456) id <01IOLVRFHYWW003HAP@ALPHA.IS.TCU.EDU> for Scouts-L@ALPHA.IS.TCU.EDU; Thu, 09 Oct 1997 15:19:08 -0500 (CDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by emout16.mail.aol.com (8.7.6/8.7.3/AOL-2.0.0) id QAA01579 for Scouts-L@tcu.edu; Thu, 09 Oct 1997 16:18:58 -0400 (EDT) Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Message-ID: <971009161648_-1673620389@emout16.mail.aol.com> Date: Thu, 9 Oct 1997 16:18:58 -0400 Reply-To: EC92@aol.com Sender: Scouts-L Youth Group List From: "" Subject: First steps of conversion X-To: Scouts-L@tcu.edu To: Multiple recipients of list SCOUTS-L Status: RO X-Status: OK, I'll admit it. They got me mad at work and I had it on a disk so I started converting the 1940's relic to Scouting. (Malicious obedience: I was told to quit a major problem and to do something that wasn't so important for awhile.) This is a first draft, others of you take a shot at improving or adapting it so we can post a finished product to several lists (with apologies to people like myself and Walton who seem to be on all of them, of course). So we aren't wasting -L space, send inprovements directly to me, please. Tom Petrik The SCOUTER'S CREED Living Stipulations 1. Born with the uncanny ability to have an extra hour every week. 2. Be willing to donate whatever money you make. 3. Move to a house with large garage for unit gear. 4. Give up and live in garage, put gear in house. 5. Do not use "living room" except to accumulate gear for weekend campouts. 6. Cover all furniture with bed sheets. 7. Do not heat in wintertime unless counseling merit badges. 8. . 9. Should have large car, preferably Suburban with hitch, 10 years old, in perfect condition, with not more than 3,000 miles. 10. Keep shined and covered. 11. Do not move from garage, except for campouts. 12. Prior to removing car from garage, scan skies for possible inclement weather. If forecast is acceptable, prepare for camping trip. 13. Camoflage all camping equipment from neighbors. Proceed to camp areas with caution, i.e., drive thru alleys, around the block several times, down wide streets to insure you are not being followed by neighbors who are suspicious of your willingness to work with youth all the time. Standard Diet 1. Friday - Cheese. Crackers. Inexpensive sausage. Coffee or Hot Chocolate . 2. Saturday - Sausage, eggs, hot dogs, hamburgers, more cheese, crackers and lots of coffee. 3. Sunday - Hot weather: cold cereal, Cold weather: oatmeal. 4. Notice. Do not buy homogenized milk. Regular milk in cartons is better. The cream can be skimmed off the top for SM's coffee and skim milk is good for the Scouts. The waxed paper cartons burn real well and help start campfires on those occassional rainy mornings. Important Incidentals 1.Family must save all brown paper bags, strings, rope, jars, and all other valuable and useable articles. 2. The wife must have ? 3. Father and older children should have day jobs or part-time work to fulfill Scouting pledges. Wife works (to keep food on the table) on third shift while father is at events and committee meetings. 4. On payday, father will take paychecks without cashing them, ride his bicycle to council office and make a deposit. Wife's check will be carefully hidden in shoe so council staff cannot take it, too. 5. Advantages of living in the garage are: Occassional flooding prepares you for weekend events when new Scouts pitch your tent in low-lying area prior to major rain or snow fall; Easier to bring gear in at end of weekend; Drafts prepare you and strengthen immune system for winter camping.
