Flap Trading

I received a random email from a father (who found my blog) wanting one of our flaps for his son.  I sent him one and got this back.  Very cool.

Jagger's Eagle Project

This is one of the coolest Eagle Projects ever.  Building tables and benches at our local nursing home for outside use.  The Director asked us to come in and work so that the residents could watch.  It was one of the best feelings I have ever experienced in my life.

KY Boy Scout Moonshine Jug Neckerchief Slide

Painted version.
Unpainted version.
View from the back.
This is definitely a Boy Scout neckerchief slide.  I have owned both, the painted and unpainted versions.  They are made from plastic and not Bakelite, which dates them.

Who made these?  What were they made for?  A Troop going to an event?  What event?

Back in the days of the Snuffy Smith cartoons and the moonshine he made, might have inspired this creation for some of our past Scouters.  I am sure we were asked many times, if we had any moonshine?

Kawida Centennial Fall Fellowship

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
A Star War's themed Kawida Fall Fellowship was born.
So long ago, that the "Boy's Life" magazines were bigger, but still good.
Light sabers and card games.
Let the voting begin....
Congratulations and best of luck to our 
2016 Kawida Lodge Officers.

Battles between old Jedi Knights.
Training for the new apprentices too.
For all that we receive, we give thanks.
This year's Fall Fellowship was unbelievable, in all who attended and what we all came away with!

Nick Taylor - Eagle Scout

The Boy Scouts of America conducted an Eagle Scout Board of Review tonight at the First Presbyterian Church in Pikeville, KY for Troop 12.  Eagle Candidate, Nick Taylor answered many questions and discussed his involvement in the Boy Scouts of America over the past years. After, what seemed like an eternity, the 4 member Eagle Board voted unanimously that Nick be the next Eagle Scout from Troop 12!  He is #19 since 2004.
