Scout Master Matters: Upholding the Boy Scout Ideals in Everyday Life.

Scout Master Matters: Upholding the Boy Scout Ideals in Everyday Life.

Integrity

What exactly does that mean in everyday life? It means following your convictions and doing the right thing no matter what. It is one of the first things people think of when they think about boy scouts, having integrity means you can be trusted. Here are a few examples of integrity in action for our scouts to think over:

  • Noticing someone dropped money and returning it without expecting a reward
  • Keeping your promises even if it isn’t always easy
  • Telling the cashier she gave you too much change back
  • Taking responsibility when something happens instead of letting someone else take the blame
  • Ignoring advice on how to cheat on a test and not get caught

Are you living each day with INTEGRITY?

Quote of the Month:

“Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you.” H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Eagle Project

Steven Jamison Eagle Project

August 2014

My Eagle/Capstone Project was at the Northwest Franklin County Historical Village and Museum, located at 4100 Columbia St in Hilliard, OH. I was laying bricks around a section of a large circular flower garden in the middle of the Historical Village. This circle was approximately a 2 foot width. The brick path will act as a walkway, or path, to look at or enjoy the flowers. I had also finished a path to the back of a cabin, separating a herb garden. The straight path to the cabin is now a 3 feet width by 9 foot length. By separating this garden it will make it easier to tend to the garden.

How to clean a troop stove

{Asst Scoutmaster Note:  From time to time, our quartermasters will be writing up informational posts about our troop gear.  The posts have been edited for spelling, but otherwise, this will be their own words.]

To clean a troop stove you need to first take it apart the wires need to be removed first.  Then the connector for the propane comes out.  To clean use dish soap and sponge to rub at grease and baked on food use as little water as possible so you don’t get the pipes for the propane wet.  If some grease is left make sure it is away from the burners so it dose not catch on fire while cooking.
