I was requested to speak at a pack meeting. Back in 89 i spoke as cub master for about 125 people. I was asked to do a program for the local pack here in Coshocton County, Ohio. I was a boy scout in the 50's here the troop is still active. Was kicking around ideas. Thought I might dress up in mountain man garb and give talk on outdoors. I run the local Historical soicety museum in our area. The program will be this coming tuesday. Not much time. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Incredible amount of information and inspiration I will be using for the pack and district. May I link to a few pages from the pack's website? The first I am interested in is parent participation. Thanks
Anyone is certainly welcome to link, copy, adapt and use anything here for Scouting purposes. Parent participation seems to be a continuing problem for many packs and I hope some of what I have here helps.

I've found your site several times in searching for one thing or another. Very interesting, tons of info. I've not seen the page before with all the scouting units and the world wide ones with their fleur de lis. At this time I am just trying to get inspired with some ideas for a camp t-shirt and patch. I had found somewhere an old lion patch and was thinking of implemeting it somehow. If you have that or know where I may find it (again) I have included my email. Thanks. Great site!
Craig Murray has a great collection of badges and insignia (several versions of Lion Badges )on his Cub Scout History site.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
Because of your posts about Baloo's bugle, I've been able to find the resources to help my pack plan for our B & G in Feb...I went to my bookmark USSSP last Tuesday, the day of our planning meeting, and low and behold, it wasn't there! We did plan most of it, but the resources from that site ALWAYS enhance our evenings...and was what stimulated our DE to say "I always enjoy your pack's B & G!" I hadn't quite hit panic yet...but my next resource was the Cub Scout Talk files...and when I saw Bill Smith, I KNEW I had hit paydirt! Thanks for your scouting support...and I'm shipping a contribution to USSSP as soon as payday hits....

Thanks for all that you have done to help me even though you didn't know it and bless you for spending so much time on scouting and the involvement that you probably have with your group.
