I still have my patch from the klondike derby where we had to build our own sledge. I went to the jamboree once as well. Camped in this weather too, with 50M hike on top of that!
No, man...that is one of the only things I never got to experience. We couldn't afford some of the bigger things in our small troop. I think Iowa, for a NOAC was the furthest west we ever traveled.
That is a bummer. Philmont and Boundary Waters are the two best trips I have ever taken. Now you need to make sure you have a son (if you dont already) and make sure he can go and you be a leader on the trip. If a local troop is too small, you can also go with a larger troop willing to take you. Ours always took 4 or 5 guys from around the state that were interested.

Did you ever make it out to philmont?
I agree with this. Philmont was amazing. I actually just found my belt from there the other day.

Airport coffee. At this place:

I did the rocky mountain camp back in '84 (think that's what it was called).
Coff.
YLife scout here. I got a car, then kind of lost the interest. Lol. I was only about two merit badges and the project away from eagle. Had some great times camping though. We made it to Boone a couple of times. It's a great program and if I have a son would like them to be involved. Never made it to Philmont, but have a buddy in our troop go with some others. I also hadn't heard about it until I was older as well. Being a scout in Ft Lauderdale meant camping where it was miserably hot at night and the mosquitoes ate you alive. I'd love to go camping more often, in the winter here though.
Drinking oj now.

At work. Remmy didnt you say Oregon vs Florida St was the game everybody wanted to see?

The national championship game will get 40-million viewers at peak before halftime. Once Oregon goes into the half with a 56-13 lead, I say 5 million watch the rest of the massacre.
Water. Gym time.
I love how many in this group were and are involved with scouting. It was a very big part of my life. Imagine that, a group that promotes a can-do attitude and teaches boys how to become men that can feed themselves and not need mom or a wife to do it.... They crank out a lot of homebrewers. I don't see it making the merit badge lineup... But I would be willing to shoot for a fourth kid in hopes of a boy if it did.

You are as wrong about this as you were about which game everybody wanted to see. When my Buckeyes win the National Championship Monday will you come on here and admit you were wrong? Or do you work for ESPN?

Homebrewing merit badge. That would be awesome. My eagle scout project would have been setting up a brewery for the less fortunate
Another cup of coffee and watching the snow fall.
I just built a trail and some benches. Brewery would have been a lot cooler.
Nice. My brother did swinging benches for hospice. My project was running a baby item drive for a local charity. I think I got 4 dump trucks full of clothes, swings, cribs, etc dropped off at the place. I actually drive past the place a few times per week since it's right by my work.
I was in too, mostly for the camping, we had an awesome troop, went camping once a month, made first class and that was that.

I insulated the entire floor of a local church from the crawlspace. It was nasty, but ended up saving the church thousands of dollars in heating on a yearly basis.
@DisturbdChemist "Planning the next vacation.. I have Philly on the radar.. I want somewhere in the NE."
Come visit the falls, we have a lot of new breweries and stuff opening up

Exact same experience I had. Made it to life just to keep the leaders off my back but getting eagle just seemed like a lot of homework. F that! I just wanna camp and burn stuff haha.
There's a pico (?) brewery in Plymouth meeting just outside philly that makes ok beer. Very small batches and very limited bottle runs, but they do occasionally wax their RIS
Also, Baumann-Erbs Excellent Refreshment is right down the street...
You mean esecpn ?

No offense to anyone that actually lives in Philly. But that's the last place I'd go on vacation to (or through) in the United States. Followed by Detroit.
I just avoid the bad parts of philly aka wobrien and marks house . Why wont you go to philly?
I've never been to a worse ghetto than Philly. Not all of Philly is bad but you never know when you're surrounded by the 'hood. The thing is, if @wobrien can survive there, anyone can.
You might be good, though, as Pennsylvania honors your TX CCW permit.
