I will be gone this weekend and next week, so I'll share my scrapbookofferings now.

I have enjoyed the many and varied comments on Scouts-L. I think I havelearned much and examined several issues I might not otherwise haveconsidered.

For the Scouts in my troop, there has been direct benefit. Throughcontacts I have made through people on Scouts-L we have enjoyed many

great experiences.

We have gone...... spelunking at Lem's Rock in Alabama with Charlie Thorpe II, ...snowmobiling in Wisconsin with Milt Forsberg, ...toured a Hurricane Hunter aircraft in Tampa with (Terry ?) ...stayed at Camp Belzer near Indianapolis ...stayed at Camp Woodland Trails north of Toronto ...received recommendations for rafting the Ocoee river in TN ...Merit badge seminar in Champaign, IL ...Scout cancer patient made new friend in Kentucky ...many other great experiences

Those are just a few things that have directly affected boys. Boys arewhat Scouts-L is all about. I have also used ceremonies, planning tips,recipes, and many other resources that have made Scouting better for mytroop.

For me personally, I regard many Scouters on Scouts-L, whom I have neverpersonally met, as friends. It has been a place to share ideas and enjoymany funny stories that have made me smile. I only wish I had more timeto spend at my computer to further enjoy Scouts-L, sometimes I justcruise through without having time to read everything.

I am very appreciative to Jon Eidson for dedicating his time and talentsto make the Scouts-L listserv a quality place where we all feel welcome.

It's like walking into a campsite and taking a seat around a firecircled by a group of kindred souls, and sharing time, thoughts, and dreamswith them. Though we are separated by miles, even continents, there is acommon interest and spirit that unites us. It is truly a family ofScouting that we share in.

Best wishes to Jon and Scouts-L for a continued presence in Cyberspace.It has become a safe haven for many Scouters worldwide.

Hey Professor!!

That's an EXCELLENT IDEA and one that is long in coming!!

In talking with Jessiann earlier today, she urged me to please express toeveryone that "no matter if someone has already echoed your feelings orexpressions...to please go ahead and post YOUR OWN PERSONAL feelings orexpressions. Even if someone (like me) has stated the same thing. The mostimportant thing is to honor Jon, and if that means that he sees three or tenexpressions stating basically the same thing...he'll knowthat it comes from three or ten separate hearts and spirits." To which Istrongly agree upon. She said "I'm going to post my own posting even thoughyou may have more memories and stuff!"

To give some background as to how/why Jon became our listowner:

When the Scouts-L youth discussion list was started, a fellow by the name ofDoug Coffman (whom called himself and we called "Lefty") wanted to set aside some space on a listserver so that those that were interested inyouth programs and their operation can talk together, share information andadvice, and become advocates for each other and our programs. Doug hadseveral "ins" which motivated him toward creation of the list:he's a Scouter, an Eagle Scout and a brother of the national servicefraternity Alpha Phi Omega, which is based on the tenets of the Scout Oath(Promise) and Laws.

After a short year of "kicking the list off" and maintaining the list, Doug'suniversity balked at the idea of *so many* (more than 200 at the top end;more than 100 messages passing along a little BITNET server each day!)people using this new forum, that he asked several of the "starters" if they

would be willing to take it over. I was one of those folks asked; myuniversity said "Not at this time".

Jon Eidson, at that time, a new Scouter in a relatively new Troop,volunteered to "take some time" from his role at Texas Christian Universityto serve as our new listowner. Everything was transferred and we went onwardand upward since then. We have grown from a little under 100 at the start in1990 to well over 2000 today (not including, of course, those that printScouts-L off and shares it with others; those still getting excerpts ofScouts-L from BBSes, websites and FidoNet; and those resenting Scouts-Lpostings to other youth agency leaders worldwide).

The road was built with the good works, great ideas and advice, andinformation from all of us. There were several highlights that I want youall to keep in mind as you prepare to reflect this weekend:

- The Scouts-L list was not in competition with any other list at the timeof its starting, but just about everywhere you would go within Boy or GirlScouting, you would hear references to "that great list on the BITNET" andhow great it would be to "get onto that list!". During our earlier days,there were more than 100 Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes) that "carried"either extracts or "gateways" to Scouts-L.

- The Boy Scouts of America mentions Scouts-L *by name* and "the emailinternet Scouting group" several times during national programs, duringnational events, and during their National meetings. I would say that thesame things happened with regard to the Girl Scouts of the USA and othergroups. While they have NEVER formally endorsed this forum, the BSA hasacknowledged several times that "there's a alful lot of great things goingon over there".

- The Scouts-L listserver archives, which started out as a modest effort tocapture our ongoing daily discussion for those that "missed a day or so" dueto vacation, work committments, or "being out with the Scouts", has becomean INTERNATIONAL resource. More people have hit the listserver to getinformation from our archives than to subscribe or change subscriptionoptions. It's still all there....from the earliest entries like ChrisHaggerty's silkscreening process to Cub Scout hints and tricks to old setsof jokes and tall tales to POW WOW book resources. Most of it is in textformat, but as the forum grew, we got quality clipart from Gary Hendra and later on from others. And we developed our OWN collection of Scoutingadvice, starting with the Pinewood Derby information, to the Eagletips, to the Wood Badge information....information that keeps coming up, and as stillas meaningful to our Scouters today as it was back in 1992 or 1994 or 1991.

- When the Internet was emerging as more than "geeksville" for many, Jonworked with lots of us out here in developing new tools to not only get morepeople here to Scouts-L; but also in getting more Scouters and other youthleaders online *period*. He's made upteen trips to the National office tospeak with various programming, support and information managementprofessionals and offering to coach them on how to use Scouts-L and evenoffering accounts. At the same time, he has allowed the expansion of ourdiscussions by helping to establish 10 *other* groups and lists, the firstof which was called "Electronic Scouting" or E-Scouts. The "spin-offs" included forums to address specific needs ofOrder of the Arrow, Jewish, LDS, WAGGS and other "sub-cultures" of Scouting online.

- When USENET newsgroups became available to more parts of the nation,people STILL made their way over "to that Scouts list". Why?In a large part, due to Jon's insistance that we keep "remembering why weare all here and to remember that we have the disagreement with what wasSAID, and not the PERSON that said it". That one beacon, the shining pointoff of the mountain of talk, convinced even those over at USENET to reformand to try to tailor conversations toward "helping" instead of "confronting"others. Jon made that happen by maintaining such a high level of "civility"here.

- What does a LISTOWNER do besides "keeping peace in the land"?A lot. He handles "bounced mail", mail that somehow doesn't make it's way toeach and every one of our subscribers. He handles inquiries from individualmembers looking for "that time we talked about Cub Scout Sports" (a lot ofthat, he forwards to others like myself that maintains somewhat of a running"open archive" so that it frees him up to do other things; a lot of times,he'll do the searches himself!). He also responds to those that feel thatspecific members "responded inappropriately" to theirposting. Jon and other listowners also insure that "spam" sent to "each andevery list" never reaches us. He also makes sure that we are not using thelist solely as a commerical entity, although he realizes that there areseveral here with "concerns" which do target Scouters and youth leaders.

The Listowner also "sets the rules", but if you ask Jon who "sets therules", he'll tell you that there's very few rules that HE has set up asopposed to other lists whereby whatever the listowner says goes. In settingup the WELCOME letter, for instance, he sought out advice and input fromthose have been here for a while as well as those that "just got here".He's also asked me and other "longtimers" to "continuously poll our group,take a pulse and see if we're meeting THEIR needs." Jon does this as aSIDELINE, gang. He doesn't get paid for what he does and does our stuff ONTOP of his regular work at TCU as a systems programmer in their computingdivision. This places him lots of times in odds with his boss, who sees

that what Jon does as "something he does on his own" and not part of theUniversity's service objectives. Jon Eidson put in a lot of his personalafter-work hours, especially when the list "spikes" at the start of Augustand again in Feburary, to make sure that everything "runssmoothly" and that "everyone's postings reach the rest of us".

I have sent Jon a private posting which I will share with the rest of the liston Tuesday.

I've been very blessed with being a part of this forum since it's earlierbeginnings, and to have been a small part of your lives by the way ofelectronics and inspiration. Jon and I have talked off and on by voice,fax, mail and email over the years, yet we've never met face-to-face.Jessiann and I hope to join and meet as many of you as we can later thissummer during the waning hours of the National Jamboree.

I STRONGLY ASK and ENCOURAGE each of you here (and those that can't postdirectly here, I ask you to *please* help them to place their personalreflections here so that we can all share those with Jon too) to pleaseparticipate as Professor Beaver asked, and to please help us with honoring a man that has devoted a LOT of his free time to the welfare ofpromoting youth programs, in providing a way for all of us to meet"interactively" and to help us all in getting that hug, that pat on the back,that kick in the seat, that lump in our throats, that warm feeling in ourhearts and stimulation in our minds over the years.

I look FORWARD in reading and sharing your impressions with Jon -- and withall of us this weekend!

Jon,

Just a brief note to say "Thanks for taking the time to do the List".

In the short time I've been here, I've learned a great deal from Scoutersaround the world ... our similiarities are so much greater than ourdifferences, and without this common meeting ground, we might never haveknown that.

Thank you...for your time, your effort, your empathy.

Jon;

I'll try to keep this brief in the hope that you have many morenotes of appreciation to read.

Scouting is about kids (I was about to say boys but my cub pack iscoed and that is another well travelled thread)

Your list has broadened my horizons.. many new resources, ideas,suggestions, and an excellent forum for the pros and cons of variousapproaches to dealing with the kids, when they are good, or otherwise.

The dynamics of dealing with the other members of leadership teams is justas important. Listening to different views, and having the good judgement toaccept criticism and constructive ideas, is reflected in the daily exchangesseen on the list.

Many of the BSA procedures do not apply here in Canada due to differences inthe programs, but the international nature of the list sure does bring homewhat all of us are endeavouring to do, help kids have fun and grow.

Your list is important to us all. Thanks for the opportunity to participate

Joe Servos Akela27th Guelph Ont. Canada Cubs

PS I think that there really are no bad kids, jus differing degrees ofgood.

Having to leave for Webelos Resident Camp tonight (Friday 6/27)I have set mail to digest, I will miss the ongoing messagetraffic but I will get back to it on 7/7.

Having been involved in this "electronic roundtable" or"virtual campfire" for the last few years, I have pickedup tons of material for just about everything in Scouting.Case in point is the material that I used from here withtag lines for the NE-1B Section Conclave.The Broken Arrow ceremony was on disc and paper, weperformed it during the training session, then passed it out!The different kinds of 'transition' ceremonies,like youth to adult were 'borrowed' from a Wood Badgebeading ceremony found here several years ago.

I am going to Webelos Resident Camp with numerousexamples of new and recycled ideas. We are going to doa flag retirement ceremony for a campfire close.We are going to do a 'Swamp-thing Walk'. We are goingto put kids in bubbles and Tipis and play with our marbles.By the way, the 'Cubmaster'for the week is the Treasure Valley Cub Scout Coordinator,Jason Kuder. He "works" as the NE-1B Section Chief.He wanted to take the rest of the summer off in order to getready for the Jambo97 Service Corps. Jay is the JVC for this.

The best thing has been the friendships that have developedand the opportunity to meet the individuals at events;Akela Calls, Section Conclaves, Wood Badge Courses/Reunion,NOAC, etc. It is really a "kick" to be on vacationand drop in on an friend from the 'net, and then spenda couple of hours talking and trading paper/ideas.It is especially interesting to attend an event (NLS,

NOAC, STS, Powwows) and be greeted with smiles, handshakes,and "... and you're Jay Bemis, I know your wife [from AOL]".In case of Cub Scout Wood Badgers, hugs!By the way, my wife Jan (RndTblJan) keeps up withScouts-l from AOL. Some of you may have seen the Shadetreeactivity on weekends and the monthly (Third Thursday)AOL Cub Scout Round Table. Some events are more intestingbecause of the participants from Scouts-l! I keep track of myfriends from NE CS-48 and NE I-140/163/176/183.Are you interested on going to a really good 'awesome'training event? Let me tell you about Wood Badge ....

One of my observations from starting a list of names for the1992 NOAC was its evolution into the spin-off Arrow-l.In preparation for the 1992 NOAC, the NOAC attendeesbegan talking, then planning a get-together. Mike Waltonhad produced the 'Internet Lodge' flap and it was a greatsuccess. I decided to put together a list of interestedattendees.Not knowing the campus at Purdue, we discovered a 'resource'who suggested that we use one of the fountains.We gathered the list of names and we were off for the event!Needless to say, the NOAC/Scouts-l event went off at the"washing machine" fountain. Mike Walton acted as themoderator for the discussion group that evening.Mike hosted the event because of his shy and retiring nature (gr:)).As a note, that was my Lodge in the fountain water.

We also discovered a lot of Arrowmen that wanted to go to theNOAC but could not. Discussions kept 'breaking' out on OA issues.These discussions began taking a large amount of bandwidth.The also centered on material that was "safeguarded" meaning theOA ceremonies. Enter Jon with the suggestion that we take thelist and start a spin off. Because of the material beingdiscussed it also needed an administrator who would screenthe would-be particpants. After a rocky start, the Arrow-loperation was up and running. It has now spun itself into aBrotherhood and Vigil variations. Jon was instrumental ingetting resources and interested parties together to make thething work.

Jon,

Let me take this time to thank you for your tireless efforts in keepingthe Scouts-L list active and available for those of us trying to keepthe Scouting dream alive and well.

I have been able to use this resource to gather valuable information,data, graphics and the collective wisdom of the group.

Having been a part of the scouting program as a youth, participating

as a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Order of the Arrow member, and to beable to relive these experiences with my son 35 years later is a greatjoy to me. The Scouters that I interact with, who share our desire toset the right example for our youth, to lead, not just follow down thescouting trail are a true inspiration to me, and I thank them all.

To the members of this list, thank you for being there whenever I havea question or a problem. I know I can count on you. To Jon, Doug, Mike,Cheryl, Marie, Grant, Cliff, Sarah, and all the rest, thank you forallowingme to check on your activities daily, and to feel a part of your"campfire".I consider it an honor to be in your presence, and I believe we allbenefitfor this experience.

Thanks one and all!

Jon:

I know from speaking at length about Scouts-L with Mike that youweren't the person who began the list. However, just as an adoptiveparent doesn't give birth to a child to be their parent, you've

certainly "raised" this list to one with really high standards.

Speaking as someone with very limited exposure to Scouting and itsprograms, I am impressed with the caliber of people you haveattracted to this list over the years. For the most part, I havefound them all to be a wonderful, family-oriented group of people wholove the program and who most of all, dedicate their lives to theyouth who enjoy both Girl Scouting, Boy Scouting, Royal Rangers,Missionettes and all other various youth oriented programs.

I want to thank you for all of the hard work, dedication, long hoursand true caring you've put into this list. You have brought manyideas, discussions, issues and yes, disagreements to all who haveparticipated throughout all of the years Scouts-L has been inoperation. I can honestly say that I used many ideas from this listwhen I was student teaching, in working in various programs withkids, in tutoring, in Cub Scouting and even with my ownstep-children. You've brought many hours of talking, sharing,laughing and crying to Mike and myself!! We've learned much alongwith everyone else.

If one thing stands out overall, it is that EVERYONEWHO WORKS WITH YOUTH HAS GOT TO KEEP THEIRFOCUS ON THE YOUTH!!

Thanks for doing everything you can to focus on our children. Keepthe faith as Scouts-L continues to grow.

Jon,

If ever BSA issues an "Internet Commissioner" position patch you should have the first one, and one with gold and silver mylar threads to boot. You have taken the concept of unit service and given it a whole new meaning by creating a forum where unit leaders from around the globe can share ideas, compare notes, help each other, and just plain have fun. The only thing missing is the coffee pot. ;-)

A few years back I had an old beater of a 286 computer and one of those (then brand new) 2400 baud modems. It seemed all too complicated and I was scared to use the danged thing for almost a year. Finally I heard about there was a Scouting area on a local bulletin board where you could get free e-mail. Took me about a week to get that one figured out, but I signed on and started looking at files. Well one of them explained how there were hundreds of discussion lists on the Internet. So I looked and found one called Scouts-L. I didn't have a clue what it was, but someone else had done a nice write up about how friendly the folks were on this list and how you could get questions answered easily. After procrastinating another couple weeks, I made the fateful decision to send an e-mail. Believe it or not it was my very first e-mail!!! Before I had just logged on to the BBS and read files. Immediately I got Jon's famous welcome letter and felt right at home - knew I was in the right neighborhood - good people no doubt.

Well I did what many of us do, I lurked and watched. I read and read, and read some more. Boy some of this stuff looked really great. The next thing I knew I was sharing cooking recipes here at home with my son's Troop. They were really impressed with some of the Australian cooking techniques that could be done without pots and pans like the biscuit on a stick idea. Mmmm good it was - thanks Jon, the boys would never have had a chance to try this, if wasn't for you. One of these boys got really interested in cooking. He was a real piece of work, one of those whose behavior problems were legion. Now a few years later he's an Assistant Manager at a local McDonalds.

A lot of local Scouters were really impressed with what I was sharing from the Scouts-L list. So the next thing I knew, bits and pieces of our discussions got worked into our District's newsletter and in training. Probably several hundred Scouters have been exposed to me as a trainer with much of my knowledge base coming from Scouts-L. So Jon, you've been a part of training in far distant reaches helping to shape our leaders.

With a little encouragement and prompting, I started to write a few posts to Scouts-L a few years back. I can remember worring about how I wrote

and whether it would help and whether folks would like what I wrote. The responses were instantly gratifying - so many wonderful people writing and sharing. Friendships began to emerge out of this virtual environment for me, people that I would never have had the chance to meet or talk to except for the existence of Scouts-L.

So I wrote a little more and then a little more beyond that. Bill Nelson asked me to write some stuff for him to use on the U.S.Scouting Service Website and I did. Then Gary Hendra volunteered to help me publish a Commissioer's Internet Resources Workshop on his website (www.macscouter.com). These things wouldn't have happened except for Scouts-L.

Those relationships grew and so did the opportunities to learn more about the World Wide Web. And most of that learning took place because of Scouters who helped from the Scouts-L list.

During this "apprenticeship" my computer died. Two local Scouters (also from Scouts-L) came over and spent nearly 11 hours building a new computer for me out of the old parts and with some new things they helped me to buy. Thanks Mike and John.

I continued to learn about the world of computers and the Internet because of Scouts-L - facinated because of how this medium could help Scouters share information and improve the program for the boys.

In the process I ended up as the Administrator for the PC Area of the U.S.Scouting Service Project's FTP Site and began to learn how to write web pages from some truly great folks - thanks Bill, Chris, and Gary.Again, all were associated with the Scouts-L list.

About a year and a half ago my employer was looking for someone with experience to build a website. So I volunteered that I had been working with some really sharp Scouters that knew a lot about this stuff and would try to help. About nine months ago my boss asked me to switch from being an attorney to the organization's Chief Information Officer/Webmaster. I agreed and as a result of Scouts-L made a complete career shift, one that I would have laughed at only a few years ago. So, Jon I owe you more than a little thanks - what I learned from the list you manage has taught me enough to put bread on the table.

In fact what I've learned from the list is enough to write several large books! From the beginning I kept copies of the postings that had information I thought might help me or other Scouters in my area. The last time I checked, my collection of postings was several thousand pages long! And I know that Mike Walton's collection dwarfs mine, so his must

be absolutely huge.

This knowledge base collected by volunteers for volunteers is absolutely mind-boggling in size and scope. I would need several pages just to list the times when the information from Scouts-L has been shared, has helped a Scout prepare for an Eagle Board of Review, has helped a new Scoutermaster get started, has helped an old Scoutermaster get a new handle on a tough situation, etc. And even more wonderful, the sharing has been international in scope.

Because of Scouts-L I've been lucky to share discussions and ideas with Scouters in Argentina, Brazil, England, Australia, Austria, Germany, Spain, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Japan, Denmark, Belgium, South Africa, Singapore, Ireland, Italy, and more.

Baden-Powell had a dream that Scouting would cut through secular divisions and make the world more peaceful through a larger brotherhood of Scouting. When he died, he left behind a set of letters to Scouters, Guiders, and the Movement in which he expressed his satisfaction then at the great strides the Movement had made in realizing this. If B-P were alive today, I have no doubt that he would be very excited at what Scouts-L has done to further his vision with brother and sister organizations and Scouters around the world. If WOSM in Geneva had an award for a volunteer furthering this vision through the Internet, you'd be my first candidate for the award.

Jon, we all owe you much. Indeed Scouting and Guiding around the globe has been touched forever by the work you have done in your spare time, because when the call came, you were there to answer and never flagged in your duties, self-imposed as they were.

We are experiencing a global revolution with the explosion of the Information Age that will affect society as much or more than the industrial revolution that transformed the world at the turn of the last century.

Your work has helped to assure that at least a part of that revolution will be headed in a very positive direction with a focus on helping young people around the world to grow up with values and character. And your impact can be seen in the many spin-off lists and web pages that have resulted. And no doubt will continue to be felt as these all generate further ripples.

In the same way that good turn rendered by an unknown English Scout to William Boyce spawned the Scouting Movement in the United States with unforeseeable and wonderful consequences for nearly a century, your good

turn has and will continue to produce consequences that will forever shape and change the world we live in. Truly there can be no greater reward in life than knowing that you have and will continue to help young people to have opportunities in abundance for growth into adulthood where they will succeed well because they have developed good character, become good participating citizens, and have learned how to become and stay fit.

THANK YOU JON!

Mike

Jon,Thanks for Scouts-L! As a new Scoutmaster the help and information I havebeen gathering from the list is making a real difference. Through the list Ihave gotten advice on: how to handle troubled youths, gotten travel help forseveral trips for my Troop, found help finding a unit in another state for amoving scout, received help with making plans for my son William's EagleCourt of Honor, and found help with making summer camp plans for my Troop. These are just the things I have asked for help with, the knowledge that I have gathered by reading other's questions/answers gets stored away until itis needed, and I believe equips me better for the responsiblity ofScoutmasterI have also meet on the List several people that I know consider friends eventhough I have only met a few of them face to face.Thanks Again for this gift you give to us!YISDan MoserScoutmaster Troop 377Hawk Mountain CouncilKittatiny Lodge #5Stony Creek Mills, PA

Jon, I owe you a lot! Without your hard work, I never would have known - that Eagles should have special ceremonies - that Cub Scout Woodbadge even existed, and now "I used to be anEagle" - that dutch ovens can bake more than just dump cakes - that there are other volunteers who can help accomplish almostanything - that "high adventure" doesn't mean *just* Philmont - that training adults is one of the best ways I can help the boys - that working with Scouts and Scouters can wear you out sometimesand last (in this note, anyway), but definitely not least, - that working with Scouts and Scouters can be so much FUN

I'm so glad you picked up the ball when Lefty was unable to continuerunning with it. I value everything I receive from Scouts-L because somany people obviously put serious thought into their contributions.Without you, it would not have happened. Thank you ever so much.

Dear Jon, and everyone on the list, I just want to take a moment to thank all of you, and you inparticular, Jon, for Scouts-L. Jon, you may not even realize what animpact this list has, but while I would have been a *good* leader andscouter this year, I can proudly say that I am a *strong* leader, and somuch of that strength comes from the support on this list. LastOct.I became a wolf leader and was lost, didn't know how the BSA and CubScouts was arranged, what to do, etc. I tied into the list last fall, andhave used so much from the list that I can't even begin to recount. I have used songs, skits, and cheers in my den and pack meetings,day camp and roundtable. I have gotten policy clarifications, site locationsfor resources on the Web, and the "whaddaya do" advice for a hyper Webelowith no adult along for our trip to the Yorktown (Thank you all Again! foradvice on that one!). The best advice has come from the discussions, as there were manytimes that I could head a problem off at the pass by knowing what to doahead of time, rather than just learning from Hard Knocks. Consequence? Aconfident, enthusiastic, and happy scouter, me. Couldn't have done it without you guys! BTW, my day camp just finished (I was program director, and hadnever even *been* to a Day Camp before...oh, foolish flounder) and the 175boys and 80 staffers had a BLAST! and So did I!!!! And again, a large partof that was in the resources that all of you shared with the list. Thanksagain!!! Going to take a nap now!

Thank you!YISLorie~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lorie McGraw <llmcgraw@worldnet.att.net>Bear Leader Pack 410 Den 4Indian Waters Council, Etowah Creek District Columbia, SC"If a bigger hammer doesn't work, your problem is electrical." --Dad

Hey Jon,

I've only been a member for 10 months, but what a time I've had.Because of you and SCOUTS-L, I enjoy Cub Scouting so much more. I'vegotten great ideas to pass on to the leaders at Cub Scout Roundtable. Iknow some of them will say thanks to you, because I've gotten them tosign up.

I've enjoyed many of the topics, as well as ignored some. But that'sthe best part of SCOUTS-L. There is always something here for somebody.Like the time I simply wished everyone well, and then got yelled at bysome, who thought I was spamming them.

So thank you for your time, energy, and hard work. May God bless you.

Ho, Jon---

I'd just like to take a moment and let you know just how this incredibleelectronic resource has helped me, the leaders and the Cubs in our Pack.

Ours is a Pack in the middle of rebirth. The leaders were burned-out andbarely active, and the boys were missing out on Scouting as a result. ThePack seldom participated or held regular events. Family Camps were almostunheard of. No doubt about it, the Pack was dying.

This was the situation I faced when I was "recruited" as a Tiger Cub Coachat School Night. I had been a Scout from 1964-1976, and earned my Eagle, butI hadn't been actively involved in Scouting for 20 years!

Despite the "sunshine pump", I came to realize the enormity of the Pack'sproblems after I attended the first Pack meeting. Due to my "hiatus" & theprogram having changed a bit, I had to play catch-up in a hurry. I bought &

properly "decorated" a uniform (uniforming was a SEVERE problem- not onlyamong the boys and leaders in our Pack, but among the boys in our companionScout Troop as well.) I quickly got my hands on all the printed Tiger Cubresources I could, however they weren't enough.

I logged onto the 'net and searched for "Scout", for "tiger cub", foranything. Found a lot of material to help not only my Tiger Cub den, but theentire Pack. Some time after that, I found your mailing list, SCOUTS-L. Herewas TONS of material & more coming into my mailbox every hour.

Floods of memories of attending Roundtables with my old Troop, but better!!This RT went 24 hours a day. And unlike many RTs, the material presented,the questions asked and answered were all completely relevant, easilyunderstandable and devoid of any "agenda" (whether "mine is bigger/betterthan yours", or laden with BSA politics.). It really kept me enthused duringthose tough times.

For a time, I was holding the Pack together- conducting regular den leadermeetings and such. At times when the other leaders had questions about BSApolicy, parent participation, the way the Pack did things, etc., that nobodycould answer, I would post their question on SCOUTS-L. Within hours(sometimes minutes), other leaders replied with their approaches to and/orexperience with that SAME problem. I would dutifully print these responsesand bring them to the next DL meeting. Our leaders poured over them,grateful for the answers provided by the list, and gradually became more &more enthused and involved in the Pack. Sometimes they were merely relievedto hear that other Packs had the same problems.

I could go on rambling forever on how SCOUTS-L has helped me, my den, &myPack, but to make a really long story short, we are now a viable Pack, withuniformed, excited & enthused leaders, and a real committee - doing LOTS ofactivities with boys & parents having LOTS of Scouting fun -and hopefullyinfluencing some young lives along the way.

Thanks to you, Jon, our Pack's back on the road to prosperity. Couldn'thave done it without your help.

You KNOW that you're doing some right when, upon their graduation from 1stgrade, two of your Tiger Cubs proudly present you with blank books they havefilled with illustrated (in crayon) stories about their experiences in CubScouts- titled "Boy Scout Camping Trip" & "Cub Scout Pack 303" respectively.

Jon,

Just a quick note of thanks from a relative newcomer. In the six monthsor so that my husband and I have been participating in Scouts-L, we havealready benifited in many ways, not the least of which is the sheerpleasure of sharing "airspace" with so many who are dedicated to serviceto youth. No matter the squabbles, the feeling I have had from day oneis that WE can say those things to each-other, but no one else hadbetter put down Scouts and Scouters. We have learned much, and thankyou for your dedication to the project.

Jon,

I want to thank you and the many great people here on the Scouts-L list.

I have been on for a little over 2 years. During this time period I movedfrom being a Webelos leader into Boy Scouts with my son. The troop wejoined has gone from two Scouts to twenty three Scouts with more comingsoon.

I credit our success as a troop to many things, but one of the majorreasons is your Scouts-L group. They have given me advise and support whenneeded. This was crucial because within six months of joining the troop, Itook over as Committee Chairman with no training on Scouting in thenineties. With your help, many times I was able to see a problem comingbecause others here had expressed similar difficulties. I learned aboutSMF, Wood Badge, the Jamboree, Philmont and much much more.

Today, we have several scouts & leaders planning on attending the Jamboree(myself included), plans to go to Philmont in 1999 (have to wait for theScouts to turn 14), all of our leaders SMF trained and several Wood Badgetrained. But MOST important we have (in my humble opinion) one of the BESTtroops in the area.

Thanks for the many hours you and all of the other fine scouters have givento help us grow.

Yours in Scouting,

Scott PayneCC Troop 488Largo, FL

As a trainer for Cub Scouts I am always looking for ways to improve andexpand on what I do. I have found a daily resource here on Scouts-L. Scouts-L is has supassed my my expectations. Not only am I learning andimproving, (Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks), but many otherscouters are benefitting from what I have learned on here; and they are noteven on the net! Thank you for giving me the chance to continue to grow andlearn not only as a scouter but as a person!

Jon:I join the assembled Scouters to recognize and honor your leadership anddedication to service.

I have been on the web for several years and on the LIST for the last twoor so. It is a continual source of good ideas, some clear thinking, andimportant feedback on issues, ideas and problems. Many of the threads havebeen a key for readers in their own planning, thinking and, most important,their learning.

The list meets B-P's guideline ... "Scouting is a Game with a Purpose." Thelist can be fun. It can be serious. It is sometime frivolous andoccasionally stretches the bounds of the Oath and Law. But, the bounds are

ever-present and the members are quick to keep to that line. The List isfun, and it is a great place to meet other Scouts and Scouters across thecountry and the world. I have made a number of important friends here, andfor that alone, I thank you.

Congratulations. Kudos to you and a blast on the Kudu, too.

Yours in Scouting,Lew OransHouston, Texaslporans@onramp.net

SCOUTS-L - both the existence of the list, and the people - have been ofvaluable service to me, to my son, to my unit, and to my fellow Scouts andScouters. When I needed help with the service I was trying to perform both"working my ticket" and in day-to-day Scouting eforts, SCOUTS-L was thereand provided an incredible amount of positive and useful advice andinformation. When my son looked to do his somewhat "different" Eagleproject, SCOUTS-L gave him an instant forum for the sharing of thoughts andpespectives from around the USA and the world. When the need to informother Scouts, Scouters and units of problems, issues or interesting itemsarises, SCOUTS-L proves its worth again and again.

I have had disagreements with SCOUTS-L - I was once on the "review thisguy's postings" list - but I have also felt the genuine affection ofSCOUTS-L and I hope I have returned it.

Dear Jon -

A tip 'o the campaign hat to you - for your long hours, thick skin, saintlypatience, and love of Scouting.

They say imitation is a sincere form of flattery. From your inspiration andthe success of your list, at least three other lists - Jambo97, J97Scouts,and Juliette - have been spawned.

We Scouters are a diverse and sometimes truculent lot. What brings ustogether is a passion for our organization and a love for our youth. You'vebuilt a community of us - no easy feat in this day and age.

There's many more exciting days ahead of us - thanks to you. But as thisone finishes... "softly falls the light of day, as our campfire fades away.Silently each Scout should ask, 'Have I done my daily task?'..." you cansleep gently knowing you've contributed to thousands of kids the world over.

Yours in Scouting,

...Doug Gentry

Jon:

Let me add my voice to the growing list of those who thank you for your workin maintaining this wonderful Scouting resource.

This was the first Internet mailing list that I joined, having joined thisat about the same time I joined Arrow-L a couple of years ago. Prior tothat my internet Scouting was limited to the Prodigy bulletin board, where Iactually met some of the Scouters who now frequent this list.

While I seem to have spent most of my time trying to answer questions askedon this list (some would say TOO much time answering TOO many questions :-)) I have also taken away lots of good information from the postings ofothers. On several occasions I have also turned to the list for advice onsituations in my troop or district and the list has always come through with

interesting, lively responses.

I don't have a clue about what it takes to "own" a list like this, or tokeep it up and running, but it certainly more than you are REQUIRED to do,and you certainly do this in addition to your responsibilities to youremployer, family, etc. (gee, sort of like being a volunteer Scouter), andfor that I join every other member of this list in thanking you for yourScouting good turn.

I am sure the others join me in an offer to assist you in any way possiblein this endeavor.

I hope you enjoyed your trek to Philmont, "Scouting's paradise," and thatyou didn't suffer too bad a case of Scouts-L withdrawal.

Thank you again for all your efforts on behalf of Scouting worldwide.

Jon,

In the short time I've had the honor of participating in Scouts-L, I'velearned more than I could in years in the "outside" world.

I've had the opportunity to have ALL my questions answered (in variousways!), and have even served as resource for many of my friends in thedistrict. Your list has a reputation outside; if there is a question thatcan't be answered, there's someone on Scouts-L who can answer it.

Thank you for giving us an outlet for our Scouting problems; new friends,and trusted comrades. All the words cannot clearly express the gratitudewe feel at your efforts to maintain this list, but I'd say "Service toothers" is epitomized here.

Many thanks,

It may be a shock to you all, but I'm not quite sure what to say here (yes,me, the Aussie who just won't shut up!) Scouting has been one of the greatloves of my life ever since I was invested as a cub 25 years ago.

Although I am a bit of an old hand with computing in general, I am arelative newcomer to the Internet, and I'm sure it comes as no surprisethat when I first browsed the net I looked for "scout" in one of the search

engines - wondering if there would be much there. Well, among the hundredsof items I discovered was a reference to an email list called Scouts-l. Ithought it sounded interesting, so followed the instructions to subscribe.Soon after, I received a welcome message from someone by the name of JonEidson telling me about this list and asking me to introduce myself to thelist.

This was the first time Grant O'Neil was launched on an unsuspectingScouts-l; I sent off a message letting you all know who I was and a bitabout my scouting background, and among the welcome messages I received inreply was one from someone calling himself the Black Eagle (who obviouslylikes coffee a lot, and what's this Settum-whatever all about?) giving me abig welcome to this "Virtual Campfire". In the almost two years since thenI guess I have become pretty well known here as I put in my downunderperspective on the many diverse issues we discuss together. So, what's itall mean to me personally?

The biggest impact Scouts-L has had on me can be summed up as being this: Ihad never before had such a strong feeling of the "InternationalBrotherhood" aspect of scouting as I have gained since joining this list. Inow count as close personal friends quite a number of people from the otherside of the world whom I have never actually met in person, and most ofwhom I would not even know what they look like. I have come to realise thateven though there may be a lot of differences in the technicalities ofscouting in our respective countries, the bottom line of scouting isuniversal. Technicalities about Webelos, OA or Eagle COH may not mean muchto me, but through this list I have gained some great ideas for activities,learned some new campfire songs (which have been a hit when I tried themout here), been introduced to some great new camp recipes (any idea whatit's like to be reading email at 11:30 p.m. and suddenly get anoverwhelming urge to grab a roll of foil, rush outside, light a fire andtry out the latest recipe to satisfy your suddenly watering mouth?), foundout game ideas that introduce much needed variety into our programme, madesome great progress on the international component of my badge collection,and, as previously mentioned, made some wonderful friends in the process.

None of this would be possible without the great efforts of Jon (althoughit beats me how he can manage it in just an hour a week - it takes me aboutthat long each _day_ just to read my Scouts-L inbox!). I guess we shouldalso express our thanks to TCU for their facilities being made available tohost the list.

Dear Scouts-L

I just wanted to let all of you know how much I've benefited from being apart of our electronic Roundtable that never ends.

In the last few years thanks to Scouts-L, I've

- designed a training on adult recognition awards.- helped a Troop from 300+ miles away come to our council summer camp.- begun to counsel a BSA Lone Scout in France on the Chemistry Merit Badgeand another BSA Lone Scout in Germany on the Citizenship in the NationMerit Badge both using e-mail.- learned about Scouting in Australia, Italy, Brazil, and Zaire.- found resources for training Merit Badge counselors, Boards of Review,and Junior Leaders.- used questions / problems / dilemmas from Scouts-L on advancement issuesas vicarious training for a new District Advancement Chair.- helped a Girl Guide troop in Scotland have a traditional AmericanThanksgiving dinner on their November campout.- had a piece I wrote on "The Most Difficult Job in Scouting: New Parent"published in the Tidewater (VA) Council bulletin.- offered many prayers for Scouts and Scouters in distress.

Thanks Jon for providing us with this fellowship. Among the NativeAmericans of the Pacific Northwest, a tradition emerged to recognizespecial feats by a member of the group. The tribe would gather and someonewould climb to a high point and shout "Ya ha!" and the group would reply"Hias Kalosh!" This would be repeated three times.

=46or our Scouts-L list owner/shepherd, I say to our world wide CyberCampfire "Ya ha!" =8A =8A =8A

Jon,

Scouts-L has been a source of strenght and ideas. Our last duty stationwas in a very active district and council and while Spain has a lot tooffer, there's not a lot of other Scouts and Scouters around (at leastBSA-wise). We have only been on Scouts-L for a few months, but those fewmonths have re-connected us and fed our determination to share Scouting asa way of life. For us, Scouting is a way to encourage young men in growingto be responsible, caring individuals.

It is easy to feel lonely over here, but not with Scouts-L around!! Wehave taken things off the web and shared them with the troop, and also withthose that I work with. Thank you SO much for making this all possible.

Although I mostly just lurk in the background and don't post much, I haveenjoyed the many and varied comments on Scouts-L. I have learned much inthe two years that I have been here.

I had a wonderful one day experience last summer at the Pimaree thanks tothe postings here of Chris Haggerty; something I would never have knownabout without Scouts-L.

I also can't begin to count the other tips that I have picked up fromScouts-L and I tell everyone that I have passed on information to about thislist.

Thank you Jon, from the bottom of my heart. I know that I would not be ableto do the many jobs I do without the support I get from this list.

Jon;

I want to express my sincere thanks for all you do to make such a"worldwide campfire" possible.

I have only been on the list for a few months, but the discussions andinformation that come up are of a great help to many people. The SM of thetroop has been on the list for some time and would mention and sometimesforward letters from the list to me, now we discuss the material over thephone. Now when something comes up concerning the troop or the boys and wecan't reach an agreement we "take it to Scouts-L" for a solution.

Scouts-L has also given my son the opportunity of attending a second weekof summer camp with another local troop and in the process renewed anaquaintance for my husband that he hadn't seen in 15 years.

What have I gotten from this list?

Great ideas about songs, food, crafts, games, "problem kids". (Have Iforgotten anything?)

A wonderful outlook on Boy Scouts (as opposed to Girl Scouts). It's funto see how BSA handles things, and many things (and philosophies) AREdifferent.

I've "met" a group of people who are very willing to share, offer ideas,

and help.

I've "met" a group of people who care about kids.

Hello Jon and all the list!

A little less than two years ago, my wife and I bought a home computer.Shortly after that, we got connected to the internet, through a local ISP.At first I struggled with the whole thing, about the only thing I couldfigure out was how to navigate the web, so I spent most of my on-line timethere. I discovered the newsgroups, and from there learned about Scouts-L. Ihaven't checked in on the newsgroups for months now. Scouts-L, on the otherhand, has been a wonderful source of information, ideas and inspiration forme this past year-and-a-half. As I think back, it is difficult for me topick out just a few subjects that have made me a better Scouter.

- I've learned about conducting religious services at Scout outings. - I've learned about Deep-Fried Turkeys. - I've learned many humorous stories that I've been able to share with Scouts and Scouters I work with. - I've learned Skits and songs to make our Troop campfire programs more

lively. - I've learned "Scoutmaster's Minutes" that I've been able to use to help motivate both the Scouts and Scouters in our Troop. - I've received encouragement to keep on going, even when things are bad. - I've received more great advice than I could have in years of Roundtables. - and much, much more!

But the thing that sticks out most in my mind, since I just got donesharing it with 182 Cubs at our District Day Camp, is the recipe for SpoonFudge (new list members since it was posted, e-mail me off-list and I willbe happy to send you a copy of the recipe). Thanks to this recipe and othersthat I found directly or indirectly through this list, my "Scout Skills"program was rated by the participants' evaluations as the favorite programarea at Day Camp this year, over BB-Guns, Archery and even "Adventure-Land".

Thank You Jon, for providing this wonderful forum for all of us to sharein the spirit of Brotherhood and World-Wide Scouting.

Just a few words of thanks for all the work that Jon does to make Scouts-Lpossible.

I've been a part of the Scouts-L family for 4-5 years now. During that timeI've had the opportunity to get to know scouters from around the world. I'velearned things that I would never have known otherwise. I've gained friendsthat I would never have met. Scouts-L has become a resource that I valuehighly.

In 1994 we were making plans to travel to Purdue for NOAC. The adviser for thetrip was having difficulty finding a place to spend the night on the way toNOAC. I told him I would see what I could do. A short note to Scouts-L andwithin a couple of hours, I had not only found a scout camp but I hadreservations for both legs of the trip. Thanks to a couple of my Scouts-Lfriends (Thanks, Dr. Steve and Paul Wolff) in the Akron/Cleveland area, wespent a couple of nights at a beautiful scout camp. Those nights were amongthe highlights of the trip.

In 1993 we were able to have an in person meeting of many of the Scouts-Lpeople at the National Jamboree. Thanks to Bruce Johnson and Mike Walton forsetting that one up. A similar meeting took place at 1994 NOAC. It was great

to have faces to go with the names.

There have been many times that I have been able to get information quickly viaScouts-L. It is a wonderful resource populated by some of the most interestingpeople I know. In addition I've enjoyed being able to share in the lives ofthe other members of the list.

Thanks, Jon. You've been a real driving force in making all of this possible.

I didn't see the original post which started this thread, but I thinkI've gotten the basic idea.

Jon, I think I've been a member of this list almost since its inception.Since then, I've gone from Webelos Leader to Scoutmaster. This list hasalways been a great source of knowledge and experience. I know I'vebecome a better scouter because of it.

Thanks, Jon for taking your time to serve as list owner. I hear from other'owners' of all the administrative overhead involved. We are all muchapprectiative.

I signed on several years ago to just keep in touch with scouting- beingone of 5 eagle brothers and with an eagle son (now 30 yrs old) and a SilverBeaver vigil honor Dad. We were a scouting family and its hard to get thered and khaki out of your veins. I've learned how Scouting has changed(two deep; YPP, etc) so when our grandson (his Mom was a GSUSA First Class)starts cubs next year- we'll be ready.

Some of my most treasured memories are from my Scouting days of my youth.Knot tying still comes in handy as does tree identification. Yes we havepoison ivy on our property- which I learned early on how to recognize.Order of the Arrow participation taught me Roberts' Rules of Order back inmy High School days- which comes in handy at church meetings sometimes. Icould go on illustrating how what we learned is still of use today- but youknow all that.

To those around the cyberfire- thanks for the companionship. Speaking offires- several years ago over Christmas- I had the honor and duty to lay afire in my folk's fireplace to be lit with one match (hey- no problem :-) )

I'm especially appreciative of the SM minutes which are posted from time totime. I've sent them on to other lists with positive feedback.

FWIW- Mike Bowman and I are getting together for lunch on Wed when he comesback home here for a visit- always nice to put a face to the EMail.

Thanks again Jon for all your work and to the others for their input.

Dear Jon,

I have only been on the Scouts-L list for a couple of months but havefound it to be a thought provoking and thoroughly interesting forum. Inmy experience, we Scouters do not come together often enough andcan become isolated in our own units. This can lead to a waning of theenthusiasm of Scouters which in turn is reflected in poor programs forthe youth who then leave in droves which leads to more waning ofenthusiasm, poorer programs and yet more youth leaving. Thedownward spiral is difficult to stop once it has picked up momentum andso the best way to stop this must be to keep scouters enthused with allthe good that Scouting can offer.

This is where Scouts-L comes in Jon, it offers the chance for Scouters(and others in service to youth) to feel a part of a family, to sit and chat(or just listen) to others who share a common interest. A chance to sharethe wealth of experience from others whether they be from around thecorner or on the other side of the planet. This is somewhere we can cometo find answers to our questions and questions for our answers. No-onecan be expected to know everything but collectively we are a great resourceand offer a wealth of knowledge and experience to all-comers.

When you do something good it lives for all time, the example you set liveswith the people who benefit from your good deed, these people pass it onthrough good deeds of their own and so continues this upward spiral.

What you do here Jon is a good deed of truly global proportions. You willprobably never meet most of those who benefit from Scouts-L and you willprobably never know those who benefit from them but the far reaching effectsof this forum is a wonderful and admirable thing.

I thank you Jon for the opportunity to be a part of this list and I thankalsothe great number of people who give freely of their time to contribute theirinvaluable experience and advice for the benefit of others in this greatmovement of ours.

Yours, in the brotherhood of scouting,

Kevin ThomsonDistrict Beaver Scout LeaderEllesmere PortChesire, England.

Jon..

There is not enough bandwidth to thank you for keeping together thisexciting group!

I have found a major group of supporters for basically anything I want totry. The experience and advice that I have received from this group hasbeen amazing!

Thanks to this group, I feel that my son and other leaders are gettinga better experience in Scouting.

I also feel that I have quite a few good "friends" who I have never met(but hope too) to share my good times and bad.

Thanks again for your time and effort in keeping this "virtual roundtable"going"

Jon, Thanks for your time and interest in Scouts-L. Your efforts havebenefitted me many times over through my virtual campfire connection toscouters around the world. I have saved much of the information obtainedthrough Scouts-L and used it in advising and serving my units as unitcommissioner, and in the training of leaders in ScoutmastershipFundamentals. I have been able to pass along information about a Seabaseexcursion opening which allowed one scout to go on a trip he might not haveotherwise.

Although many subjects are often repeated, new ideas are still expressedeach time. The ideas on ceremonies, recruiting, high adventureopportunities, unit administration, awards, training, scout shows, games,and etc., etc. Most of all, the discussions eventually help focus on why weare here: the Aims of Scouting and living the Scout Oath and Law.

Thanks, Jon, for all the extra effort you put in to keep the campfire lit.YiS<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bert Austin {austin@aps.anl.gov} |Unit CommissionerRiverside, IL |I used to be a FoxVoyageur Trace District DesPlaines Valley Council |EC-443W<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Jon,

I have been a SCOUTS-L reader since 1990 or 1991. I usually lurk, butoccasionally post something. That happens when a topic "pushes mybutton" or when I have a problem and need help.

The latest time has been this last week with my Philmont trip. Numerouspeople on SCOUTS-L responded with helpful suggestions, both directly tome and to the list. I am not surprised, since that has been myexperience before.

I have enjoyed the chance to meet several people on SCOUTS-L in theflesh. I got to attend the SCOUTS-L gathering at the 1993 NationalJamboree. The group there was as nice and helpful in person as they areon the list. However, their faces didn't always go with my mentalpictures. Last summer I took a group of Scouts to Sommers Canoe Base(which I highly recommend, BTW). Todd Tingblad took the trouble to comemeet our group at Fred Andersen Scout Camp and brought CSPs for all thecrew.

It was SCOUTS-L that encouraged me to go to Wood Badge, and now I usedto be an owl, and a good old owl, too. SR-81 and the two years ofworking my ticket that followed were a wonderful growing experience, aswell as a challenging one.

This list has also added tremendously to my knowledge of Scouting aroundthe world. I know that the non-BSA members of this list often feel thatthey are drowned out by the BSA specific stuff that dominates ourdiscussions. To my Scouting and Guiding brothers and sisters around theworld, I say "keep on posting." The same goes for the GSUSA leaders.You have help me broaden my perspective. It has been exciting to me tobe able to respond to a message from someone in Australia and get areply within hours.

Jon, thanks so much for keeping down the flame wars and so on thatplague other lists. Yes, occasionally someone on the list gets his orher feelings hurt. Usually, it turns out to be unintentional and amisunderstanding. I am a list owner myself, though of smaller lists,and I have some idea how much work it can be.

Jon, By a stroke of luck, I found the Scouts-L listserv a looong timeago and being a new Wolf leader, joined right up. Four+ years later, Iguess I might be an "old" member of Scouts-L, but I still feel like aninfant - I learn so much every day!

This group so impressed me with their sharing and caring, that Iwas motivated to create my own Scouting web pages. I know I can count onScouts-L members to find the answer, point me in the right direction, andhelp out someone who requested info/help from me. I especially enjoy the personal experiences that are shared, theSM Minutes, the words of wisdom and encouragement. I can't thank youenough, Jon, for all you've done to bring a world of Scouts and Scouterstogether. Scouting is truly wonderful and so are you to provide us thislistserv!

Jon,

Thanks for all your hard work and time in keeping the "round-table thatnever closes" going. I have learned so much from everyone. You and everyoneon the list have kept me going even during times when I felt overworked,underappreciated,and overtired and wanting to quit. This list has kept megoing with fresh ideas, etc. to bring to the kids to help them with theirscouting program.

Again, Thanks

Cyndi

Jon (and all the others who help make Scouts-L what it is) -

I have never introduced myself to the List, but I have been an "activelurker" for almost 4 years now. In that time Scouts-L has given mecountless ideas, lots of encouragement and inspiration, and made me truebeliever in the Scouting program. I think it's time I spoke up and saidthanks.

When I (reluctantly) took over my son's Bear Den in the middle of the year(because the previous leader had changed jobs and no longer had the time) Iwas scared and unsure, and knew *nothing* about Scouts. But the Cubmasterconvinced me that the boys deserved to have a Den, and I knew my sonenjoyed it, so I said yes. I immediately turned to the Internet to findwhat I could, and thankfully stumbled onto Scouts-L. I was so glad to havethis amazing resource, and to see that I wasn't the only one searching forideas, struggling with ADD scouts and inactive parents, etc. Bolstered bymy new-found friends (though they didn't even know I existed) I squared myshoulders, put on a big smile, and "did my best." And I had a ball! Iloved it!! This past April I bridged all seven of my Webelos into BoyScouts, and I have every reason to believe they will stay active.

But the most important thing that I have learned from Scouts-L goes farbeyond the skits, songs, crafts, and so forth. When I started with CubScouts, I sort of thought of it as something that the kids just did forfun, like a club (like I said, I knew nothing about Scouting!). ThroughScouts-L I have come to appreciate the depth and importance of the Scoutingprogram, and to realize that it is truly a world-wide brotherhood. Themembers of Scouts-L obviously believe in the Scouting program, and have avery strong commitment to the youth we serve. This faith and commitment,

more than anything else I have encountered in Scouting, is what has made mea believer, too.

My heartfelt thanks to everyone here, and especially to Jon, whosecommitment to Scouts-L makes this all possible. In this day and age, it isrefreshing to turn to my daily Scouts-L digest and see that the Scout Oathand Law are more than just words for so many people.

The best thing about the Scouts-L is that it provides a place to meetand share. Frankly, there is too little of that in local Scouting.Packs and Troops tend to stay to themselves and the Roundtable isusually too packed with agenda to just voice concerns.

Thanks, we needed this!

Even though I just re-subscribed, I was on SCOUTS-L for abouttwo or three years the first time around. I subscribed around thetime of the 1993 Jamboree, and at first had no clue as to whatwas going on! (A normal occurence for me!) But I ssoon realizedwhat a fantastic, helpful group you were and how you reallyenjoyed what you did, whatever o your level of involvedment was.

And John (oops!) Jon - sorry for the mis-splelling!!! - was alwaysa help in all that he did!!

Thanks Jon, for being the commish for a great Roundtable. I'm asecond-year Cubmaster, and a first-year Asst Scoutmaster; father of a

six-year old tiger cub, and an 11-year old almost-tenderfoot, with manymore years of scouting and scouts-l ahead of me. There are two thingsthat I'd like to share for the scrapbook.

First, while we all have similar types of problems, I'm amazed by thediversity of each unit's scouting program implementation exhibited on thelist. Within this umbrella that we call scouting, or guiding, orwhatever, each unit's program is different like each person is different. But within that diversity, or because of it, we still all sharefellowship and brotherhood based on a common "scouting experience." As alocal example, I was just at a troop outing this weekend (beautiful lakeand forest, twenty-seven boys, seven canoes [some hiked in], and sevenadults). Over the course of the weekend, each of the adults shared theirpersonal stories of their own different scouting experiences in troopsaround the country - and felt a special sense of brotherhood from thoseexperiences. And, despite the fact that we experienced scouting asyouths in Colorado, Maryland, Louisiana, Illinois, or Ohio, we all weredetermined to pass on the benefits of our past experiences to the youthof our current community. The same happens on this list.

Second, I'm appreciative that I've made contact with scouters who aresharing or have shared similar experiences and challenges as I:struggling first year cubmasters, leaders of my former troops, and peoplewho've walked the same trails (and sat on the same rocks) as I have. Allon a list with 700 members - its amazing that we have room in the hallfor this size of a Roundtable. (There's so many people here, I can't findthe cracker barrel!!)

Thanks Jon, TCU, and all of the members of the scouts-l list for thedaily dose of friendship and sharing. All in service to the youth of ourworld-wide community.

Jon,

In the couple of years that I've have been on the list, I have gatheredenough information and help to have filled 5 Woods Wisdoms. This of coursecould not have been possible without your dedication and perseverance tothis list. I can only imagine the time and effort you have put forth tothis list and others that have spun off from it (Arrow-l -> Brotherhood andVigil) and who knows what others things you've been involved with.

Many times I have gone back to the Troop's Committee or PLC with informationretrieved from this list. It's not clear whether that information could havebeen achieved via another vehicle, that isn't the point. All of us here onthis list have come together many times on issues and provided much informationto those in asking.

I have readied myself and others for an Adirondack Canoe Trek, Sea BaseAdventures, and Philmont... Without the help and wise advice by those onthis list, many of us would be struggling to make a Scouting programbetter for the Kids involved. We have spanned the world in Scouting viathis vehicle, we have spanned the gender field of scouting with thisvehicle, and we have made numerous friends. I have a list of people I'vecommunicated with and continue to communicate with through this list.

I have traded with people from around the world through this list, I havetraveled to many places (Internet wise) because of this list. My list ofScouting URL's is long, with each of these places providing many ideasand resources. I have given a few Sermons on Scout Sunday through phrasesand thoughts from this list...

My jobs within Scouting have been enhanced because of this list and myability to provide ideas and information to my council's many mtgs andcommittees has all stemmed from this list... If not for this, I would havehad to rely on local help, local scouters and quite possibly limitedideas.

So in closing this msg to you, I am sure you will have heard it many manytimes through this effort to appreciate your work, but thanks! It's asimple phrase, but carries so much meaning within it.

YiS,

Jon:

They say the sincerest form of complement is imitation, following theexample set by others. (Sounds like Wood Badge...) I joined Scouts-L

shortly after the 1992 NOAC. I had learned of the List from fellowstaffers on the WOA-TV project at NOAC, where we assembled a crew oftechnicians from across the country (and couldn't have done it withoutemail!)

Over time I have asked questions, and received many helpful hints and goodadvice from fellow Scouters here on council mergers, camporee themes (3 ofour last 8 camporees have come from ideas here), merit badge counseling,high adventure, Jamboree, etc. Nobody can know everything but collectivelywe all know more than anybody else. The dialog here has always been good,and very 'professional' (even though we are volunteers) with an understoodfeeling that we are trying to do the best we can for the youth we serve.There have been some disagreements, but always polite, reasoned, evenfriendly.

The example set here has led me to start our own council area discussionlist (DPRV-L) 1.5 yrs ago, to focus on local issues, and recently (helpedby another young Scout) I have started the Brotherhood-L and Vigil-L listsfor Order of the Arrow members to discuss particular things they can't onArrow-L (which TCU also hosts very graciously). So, Jon, you have set afine example and many of us are following in your footsteps.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Hello,

My name is Joel Geldin, ASM (I learned the abreviations here) Troop 772,Laguna Niguel, CA. Today is the 1 month anniversary of my joining theScouts-L list. I found you all when I was recently asked by my DE if Iwould help form a Pack and Troop at my Temple. Being a netizen, I knewthere was a lot to learn about Scouting on the net, but not that I wouldever find so much help discovering it. In lurking here I have found outquestions I need to ask, resources for where to find the answers and agroup of people who care deeply enough about scouting to share the good andthe bad.

My hats off to the fouders and the supporters of Scouts-L thanks for being

there.

/Joel Geldin/ ASM Troop 772Laguna Niguel, CA

I first heard about this list about 5 years ago. It took me almosta year to get on, for reasons that I still don't understand. Even then,it took the direct intervention of Paul Wolf to get me on.

I have enjoyed it immensly. We may not necessrily agree, but we canusually treat each other as Scouters and "agree to disagree".

Last fall, I got an email from a fellow in the Seattle area, inquiringif I would like to get together. He was from a customer company, andwould be in town later in the month. We did get together, and havehad a few good times. There are also the ones that I may never meet,but consider them friends all the same. That is a closeness that youdon't get from the USENet groups.

Thanks Jon, and keep up the good work.

Thanks Jon. Many thanks to those who are kind enough to letyou use a considerable amount of computer resources to host thislist. Since many of us receive Scouts-L on our "work" systems,thanks to those who allow the members to recieve the largevolume of traffic generated by this Roundtable of Scouters.

The many tips I've read on the list have certainly been a help tome and more importantly the boys I serve.

The jokes and songs I've learned and shared lighten my spiritwhen I'm blue.

The inspriational messages from the list that I've shared with theScouts and Scouters in my council benefit us all.

The clip art and other files in the Scouts-L archives provide areference library of great value.

Finally the people on the list. By far the fellowship and Scout-like attitude of the list members are the greatest resourcesavailable to each of us. The values of the Scout Law are demon-strated every day by the postings I receive.

Without your help, Jon, these wonderful aids to Scouting might notbe available. Thank you for the time you spend on our behalf.

Yours in the spirit of Scouting,

To Jon and the List: After being away from the List for waaayyy too long due to some necksurgery and recovery, OA Conclave, and Scout Camp; I find the "VirtualRoundtable" engaged in a richly deserved thread of appreciation for our ListOwner. Not having seen the original posts or yet getting the archive to followthis thread, the intent and heartfelt thanks are obvious.

Jon, Thank-you.

We should award you the internet equivalent of the Silver Beaver; the"Internet Something-or-other" (sorry, drew a blank...at least I hope it's notthe Internet Albatross ;-}) for service above and beyond for years. It isrichly deserved!!!Thanks, Jon...Ric...

Jon:You are like the old man who, having successfully crossed the ravine himself,paused to build a bridge for those who might follow him. You have built anelectronic bridge which we all walk on a daily basis to seek knowledge, advice,solice, or simply companionship. No one can know the countless hours you mustspend performing the tedious administrative tasks associated with the upkeep ofthis list. Try to look beyond those tasks and see that through your work hereyou touch the lives of thousands of youth in packs and troops around the world.

When I present material from the list to 100+ scouters at roundtable, how manylives do you touch?

When material from the list is included in a Pow-Wow book, how many lives doyou touch?

When advice from the list helps to solve the problems of a pack or troop andallows it to continue to serve youth, how many lives do you touch?

When advice from the list helps to turn a misguided youth from a path ofdestruction to one aligned with the aims of scouting, how many lives do youtouch?

When a frustrated scouter at the end of his/her rope finds advice and comfortand continues on in scouting, how many lives do you touch?

The sad thing is that the rest of us get to see the tangible results of thislist in the eyes and hearts of the youth we serve, while you cannot see the endresults of your work. As you read these letters of appreciation, try to use oureyes and see the faces of the young men who have a better scouting program dueto your efforts. These few bytes that we send cannot begin to express therespect and gratitude we on the list have for you. Thank you, Jon. You havemade a difference. No one can ask for more in life.

Jon,

Welcome back from Philmont! I know you had a grand experience.

We all appreciate what you do on Scouts-L. My favorite Scouts-L experience is as follows:

I was going to Israel and looking for a Scout Shop/contacts and posted to Scouts-L. Before I knew it I was getting responses. My post was even forwarded to Scouts-J. Because of the tight tour schedule I was not able to explore all of the leads, but I was able to get patches (at a army surplus on Ben Yehudah Street) and made an electronic friend that I traded patches with. Thanks to you John for providing the service and Mark, Jerry, Dan, Neil and Katie, Judie, Alan, Ed, Steve and Divr for responding.

BP would be proud!

Jon,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the time and effortAND VISION that you demonstrated by creating the Scouts-l listserv. Manyof the files in archive are worth there weight in Gold. I have certainlylearned a lot about scouting in the last six months. I hope to learnmore as the years go on. I truly believe the Brotherhood of Scouting isalive and well in Cyberspace due to you. Thank you.

Hey Jon,

I have been reading these Scrapbook posts with some interest as to how =many people have been moved to write. They all have lives, and they are =probably more committed to their individual units and boys than most in =their District. They are the Troop/Pack Committee chairpersons, Cub and =Scout Masters, District Chairs, DEs, Commissioners etc., and they spend =

much of their waking time serving the youth and other adults who serve =the youth of our land. They are those noble few who can not say "no" to =a legitimate need and so are the ones every one else relies on to ="handle" the problems, and put on the program. Their lives are soooo =full with soooo many activities, that they never seem to be able to just =take time for themselves. Jon, they simply don't have the time to write =you about this... and yet they do.=20

They write, because your list gives back all of the time it takes to =read it and more. It solves most of those little nitty gritty problems =and gives insight into the deeper ones. It plans out whole Pack meetings =with some great ideas. It helps a troop to make wise decisions over =which stove or tent to buy, and even where to camp! We even found those =logger fonts (more than once) with ease. There is even some humor to =lighten us up. On top of all this, we have found a tight knit group of =fellow Scouters/Friends who can relate to our chosen hectic lifestyles. =And Jon, the difference between your list and all of the other "helps" =we encounter in Scouting is.... You make us look good.... Real good!=20

After my first year in Cubs as a Tiger Dad, The new Roundtable commish =asks me to help with RT... she thinks I am an Internet guru with what I =get from here. Two years down, and the training chair wants me to help =with training... she likes all those neat ideas I come up with. Go =figure, I print out a bunch of copies of a post or two, and everyone =thinks I know what I am doing. I have a passel of "Scout Master's =Minutes" that has most of the pack thinking I am well read AND a deep =thinker. You get the picture, anytime I have a project, task, or =problem, I turn to the list and tap into one of the greatest powers on =earth... the amassed brain power of the Scouters assembled here on =Scouts-L. How could I not appear to be competent???

So thanks Jon, thanks for making this monster that has become so much =bigger than you. It is huge, and sometimes testy... but it does so much =more good than many of the "official helps" could ever hope to. There is =no way that you could have helped so many without it; and without it =there would be no way so many could have had the time to write you =back....

Thanks, Jon, for all you do for SCOUTS-L. As an administrator of severalListserv lists (none as big as this one), I know of the hassles andproblems that come fast and furious. To have stuck it out this long showstrue dedication to service to others. I had to go back to my mainframeaccount to track down my subscription date -- October 15, 1992. At thattime, I had just moved from "interested parent" to "Assistant WebelosDen Leader." Since then, two of my sons have advanced into Boy Scoutsand I followed the second one into the troop as an Assistant Scoutmaster.Son number three starts his trek in a year.

The discussions have been interesting and informative in the five yearsI've been here. The list has run smoothly, thanks to Jon and hisoccasional gentle reminders about how we should conduct ourselves. I'velearned quite a bit about how Scouting should work, how it really works,and how folks across the country and around the world are making surethat kids have fun and learn a little bit while they are at it. I'vefollowed discussions from folks who walk around with rulers and rule booksto ensure that every badge and pin is in the exact location. I've alsofollowed discussions from folks who follow the rules 99 percent of thetime, but are able to lighten up for that critial 1 percent so that thekids benefit from the program. It is nice that SCOUTS-L exists to showboth sides of these situations and to let others know that they aren'talone in dealing with problem children, problem adults, and problemScouters.

Again, thanks Jon!

What a great list!

Here I have found so many nuggets...

o Ways to work with a WEBELOES den, when I was recruted to fill in after thekid's den leader had had enough after 4 years with them.... and neither of myboys were in that group of 10! My Den Chief went on to Eagle... Three boys from that group made Eagle (One in a different troop) Two are still active and working the trail

o How to run a Pinewood Derby (Keep it SIMPLE, Make it FUN, Involve EVERYONE - throw away the electronics) at the PACK level for several, District, and Council twice How hard it is to step back and let another take over and stumble...

o How to keep one's sanity as Assistant Cubmaster with 80 - 110 cubs (what needs to be done, what can/should be done by others)

o How to keep Den Leader's sane when Cubmaster Ways to say thanks, ways to listen, ways to approach situations

o Ideas for running a Cub-o-Ree and scout Skill-o-Ree from PATCH companies to different skill challanges to pat-on-the-back items And thanks for the ray of sun that found the ampitheater after the downpour

o Ideas for sessions in Cub Daycamp; as program director twice Ice Cream making in the woods, 2-liter rockets launching Egglians

o Scanning my own SCOUTS-L archives (I keep them all!) for the collective thoughts on Boy Scout retention past age 14+ when gas & girls turn heads... Putting together our troop's High Adventure program Revising, reviewing, and reliving my youth as ASM - Venture Scouting With 15 - 20 older scouts to guide, some I've known since kindergarden Trying to connect to X-ski in Muskeegon - Thanks G.R.Ford council scouters Shortly to 50mi canoe in Canada - Thanks all for the tips on Canada as well as places to stay (or visit)

o Discovering other scouters online who enjoy Buckner Cave as much as we do! Hi Milt Forsburg - hope you're enjoying camp this week!

o Sharing the challanges of a scout facing cancer, and his ASM dad.

Your email, cards and letters eased Chris's 2 1/2 year struggle He lived for scouting; preferring campouts over hospitals to the end planned and conducted his Eagle project from the bed...and reached his goal

o Read a story by a SCOUTS-L regular, about how as a young scout he'd had some difficulties, and a scouter had aided him; it was in the great style I so enjoy reading; Thanks to Mike Walton (Settummanque!) for mentioning that scouter's name in your posting. We emailed to confirm identities; it was the son (and now Council Executive of Crossroads of America Council), and son of Troop 40's mentor (uncle to one of my venture scouts) that Mike wrote of so well. I printed Mike posting and shared it with the scouter's mother, as the troop and she mourned the loss of Jim Clabaugh. He made a difference, he instilled values in his children and grandchildren that made a difference and was reflected on SCOUTS-L. Mike, next time you visit Camp Crooked Creek, there's a memorial facing campsite #6 to the father of that scouter that helped you at the side of the road... late one night...

o The SCOUTS-L digests have been distributed at Cub Leader Roundtables for a couple years, spreading thoughts beyond the electronic screen

Of all the discussion lists I use, SCOUTS-L is by far the most usefuland well read. Keep the computers on, the keyboards working, the coffeeflowing and discussions ongoing.

So many answers and ideas to explore!(It's great to be 21... again)

Hi Jon,

Thanx for all the great stuff. My roundtables and training sessions have beenso much richer because of this list.

I started electronic messaging back in 1991 after attending the first AkelaCalls - Region 1 Pow Wow at East Stroudsburg University. There was sessioncalled the Big Byte and was on computers and Scouting. They didn't have theScouts-L listed but they did have the Scouters Echo. I found a BBS inConnecticut that was a local call and was on-line. Between the two, I havediscovered how works in Brazil, Mexico, Canada, England, Ireland (Yahoo!),and so many other places. I've corresponded privately with some of thesepeople, and even talked to some of them on the phone.

Jon,

Guess it's been around six years that I've been on the list. I can evenremember the days when we had only a few messages a day Mon-Fri and almostnone on the weekends. Nearly every address ended in .edu

I've certainly gotten full value from the list. It often serves as a basisfor discussion at Roundtable and occasionally at district committeemeetings. There are several local scouters on the list so when I mentiona topic, we already have a running start.

I appreciate your efforts--I know that maintaining a list is not an easytask. Thanks again for making it possible.

Dear Jon: You can't begin to know how much Scouts-L has meant to me over the lastsix months. I heard about your group from Mary Beth Murphy (MBScouter) andit has been a wonderful experience meeting all you people. The love and theprayers that you sent to me while I was going through chemo really made thedifference. Since I was housebound for three out of the four weeks of themonth, Scouts-L was my lifeline to Scouting. The good advice, where to getinformation, problem solving, and even the flames help me feel like I wasstill a part of the Scouting movement. I have often said that when you move around as much as we have, thankGod for Scouting. I knew that when we moved into a new area that we couldalways rely on Scouting and Scouters to make us feel welcome. Scouts-L hasdone the same during my illness. Now that I'm in remission I'm ready to getback to work. There are blue cards and advancement sheets to be filled out,training sessions to be planned, etc. and I can't wait. Thank you, Jon, for all that you do for Scouting. Through this medium,you know that you were "important in the life of a boy."

Thank you to all Scouters who participate around our virtual campfire.Although my postings are infrequent, I've learned a lot about Scouting overthe past two years by following the discussions. Its great to see the diverseways Scouters from around the country (& world) handle similar situations.With this knowledge, hopefully, I've been able to be a more effective leader(as a Cubmaster), teacher (District Cubscout Leader Training Committee), andcounsellor (Unit Commissioner).

JOn, THANK YOU!

I've been a list member less than a year. I had to look it up, its onlybeen three months. This is because the List makes you feel like youhave always belonged. I kept hearing about the List. I kept findingmaterial which was credited to the List. And then I joined the list.First I received your welcome, so I introduced myself and receivedother welcome messages. I check in several times a day when possibleto see what is happening. I know that I can turn to the list for helpand that the list allows me to help others. There are many Scoutersthat believe in the program as much as I do. The List has allowed usto know each other, help each other, and befriend each other regardlessof where we may be from. I thank you for the List. You have takenthe symbol of the ax in a log and put it into action.

Jon, thanks for all your efforts to make SCOUTS-L work. In just a fewmonths, you've succeeded in reversing my long-held bias against lists ashaving too low a signal-to-noise ratio! Downside: my fellow Scouters

are getting REAL tired of my prefacing comments with "Y'know, thatreminds me of an interesting thread on SCOUTS-L..." ;-) Keep up thegood work!--YIS

Compared to many folks on the list, I'm still a new comer; I signed onback in the spring shortly after the folks here at St. Jude provided mewith a new computer and e-mail access. I've been a Scouter for 10 yearsnow and often feel that our small district is a stepchild of the ChickasawCouncil - our council has merged with the Delta Council and rumor has itthe a merger with East Arkansas is next (is bigger always better?).Anyway, Scouts-L has given me the opportunity to ask questions of Scoutersand youth leaders around the globe and to take their experiences back tomy district and my Scouts to build an even stronger program. No matterhow large our Council gets or how small our district is on the Councilmap, I know that I have an even larger circle of Scouting friends who liveby the Oath and Law and treat each other as equals - new comers, oldtimers, parents, urban Scouters, rural Scouters, those with large units,small units or even no unit, across racial lines and even across nationalboundries, - this list treats everyone the same and truely gives each ofus a chance to "practice what we preach".

In my short time here I've gotten help with songs, skits, ceremonies,special events - - like the Crittenden District Fall Extravaganza, comingup August 15 - 17th </plug>, Day Camp, Summer camp (especially the"homesickness" thread) and countless other great ideas. I've posted bothto the list and privately and "met" people across the US with ties toMemphis and the Chickasaw Council. Hoepfully, some of my "electronicassistants" will take us up on the offer of a place to stay while thierScouting unit is on the road through the Mid-South.

With my limited comuter skills, I can only begin to imagine the hours ofeffort that Jon must contribute to keep the list up and running; if TCU isanything like The University of Memphis or St. Jude, I get a headache justthinking of the red tape and administrative "grief" I'm sure Jon must putup with for the sake of Scouting. Congratulations to Jon and everyone onthe list for keeping the fire going; I'm proud to add a log to the fireto keep it glowing!

Yours in Scouting;

John T. Peeples, Scoutmaster Troop / Pack 231First Presbyterian Church, West Memphis Arkansas

I would like to add my appreciation for all the time and effort put intothis listserver. It is a wonderful service to the Scouting community. Iam sure it takes a lot of time to manage. We don't usually send enoughpraise to volunteers who maintain services.

I have gained lots of information in so many varied aspects of Scoutingjust by reading the postings. I hope I have been able to add someproductive comments as we go along. The server is a wealth ofinformation, help, and direction with the knowledge shared by the several

hundred users. It is comforting to know everyone is out there and readyto comment or help.

I have made friends through the server. We have been able to coordinateactivities between troops and help each other. I particullarly enjoyedthe informal meeting of many in the group at the NOAC at Purdue and atIndiana. Most are on both Scouts-L and Arrow-L.

Again, Jon, we thank you for your continued effort in serving Scoutingnationwide!

I really appreciate Jon and the work he does with Scouts-L. I belong totwo work-related lists - neither is run as well as Scouts-L. Jon GENTLYlets us know when we've overstepped the rules. With this list, there isGIVE and TAKE. The two other lists I subscribed to, people taken rarelygive, but always want advice. Flame wars break out here, but rarely. Onmy other lists, so-called professionals can get really testy with eachother and flames fly!

I couldn't recount the numerous ideas I borrowed from here to bring to ourPack Committee as we rebuild Pack 170. We recruited the most boys everusing ideas from Scouts-L. We've had tin can ice cream, games, weathervanes for my den. I've used this list for problem-solving in the Pack onseveral occassions. I've got a whole page of WWW pages to visit whichrelate to the Webelos activities. I can't get to Roundtable as often asI'd like, but I feel like this resource is even better.

I also am a fairly newcomer to the Scouts-L list - once again as so manyhave indicated - I was browsing the Web looking for something regardingScouts and I found Scouts-L on the list, signed up, lurked around a bit,and finally have started to respond.

This is a wonderful list. I have truly enjoyed the postings. I havebeen able to share information that I gained in over 12 years of anadult scouter with the other members and have also gained much knowledgefrom others on the list. I have found many new friends through thislist, many of whom I would never have known except through this list.It is great to know of so many who tirelessly give their time andefforts to scouting, but what is even better is the person who givesmuch more time and effort in getting and keeping all of us together sothat we can share our information!

Jon -you are doing a wonderful service to scouts everywhere!!! Keep upthe good work. Thank you for all of your effort, time, and energy.

This is a copy of the posting I sent Jon over the weekend. I've removedonly five paragraphs which were personal in nature; I'm proud to share therest of my thoughts and feelings with all of you and with Jon. Scouts-L hasmeant a lot to me over the years, and without Jon's leadership and his

willingness to "fall on his sword" many times with his school'sadministration for us, this list would NOT be as "famous" or "lively" as itis today!

Two short reminders: PLEASE, PLEASE place the word "Scrapbook" inthe subject line; it will help all of us here. And PLEASE, PLEASE postyour expressions here (even if you've sent a personal note to ourlistowner). We're hoping that when he gets back late tonight or early inthe day Tuesday, that he'll be completely overwhelmed by the number andcontent of the postings!!

Thanks!------------------begin included posting---------------------Hey Jon!!

Thank you ever so much for many things, Jon. For your friendship over theyears. For allowing me to bring to this forum my Scouting experiences,stories, and information. For giving me a way to give back to the programin the only way that I have time to do so consistantly. And for being therewhen I needed help in getting internet resources off of the ground for localCouncils and for units that really want to be a part of this grandness thatis the Internet.

A favorite Scouts-L experience or memory:

My favorite Scouts-L experience has been when we all worked together toconvince Kathie Cervany's Council's leadership to allow training awards fortheir Roundtable staff members. That was one time of many that we have allworked together, from different parts of the country, from different pointsof view, to resolve a problem on behalf of someone we've never met before!

It also *changed BSA policy*, as a result...one of many policies which havebeen changed or modified thanks in a large part to you and your list.

A story about friendships developed as a result of Scouts-L:

I wished deeply that we could have met together at the last Jamboree. Myheart was racing when we got out of the car and walked up the hill to thegate. It beated even faster when we arrived at the National Sea Exploringdisplay, the location for our first Scouts-L "Internet Scouters' ReunionMeeting". I held Jessi's hand tightly as we sat down together, and I'm surethat I couldn't hide my pride and my deep respect for those other peoplethat I've just known as "names on a computer screen"...only a few of us, butover the two hours we spent there, leaving only when it was close to 10pmand not wanting to leave. It was your list that brought us all there

together, and when we all returned, that one action...that one small meetingcatapulted this group toward something that eventually became "larger thanall of us combined". We became a community.

There's simply something absolutely special about travelling miles out ofthe way of going to or from a place, or waiting in an airport a few moreminutes in order to meet someone that "was just on their way to" anotherlocation, or in the thrill of attending a dinner or a Court of Honor or someother activity and looking across the room and realizing after hearing aname, "Hey! Aren't you on Scouts-L? I've read your postings and I reallylike what you have to say!!" and getting up, walking over and hugging orshaking hands (or both!)!

You've had a great deal to do with all of that, even though you weren't ableto be there or had little to do with the planning. You made it happen, Jon,by serving us all and keeping our lines of communications open.

Things that have been learned as a result of Scouts-L:

I have learned much about the way that Scouting is really done in otherparts of our nation. I've learned about religious youth groups and theirimportance to the development of youth within their faiths. I've learnedthat *my answer* is not the ONLYanswer to a specific problem or situation, and that sometimes, those otheranswers are BETTER and something that *I* may want to use within my ownsituation! I have also learned that Scouting is more than just being therefor the kids in our programs....it's being there for the other adults in ourprograms as well. I've learned some more songs,some different ways of performing ceremonies, some ways that I can be ofservice here locally, and that if you want an answer to a Scouting questionor concern, this is *still* the place (even though our disclaimers plainlydeny this!) to get them answered with as much or little detail as we chooseto read about!

How discussions on Scouts-L have benefited local Scouts and Guides:

I don't know how our discussions have directly benefited our local Scoutsand Guides here. I do know that many people have used our daily discussionsas starting blocks toward finding out how they can be of service to theirfellow Scouts and Scouters. I alsoknow that a lot of Scouters have used the resources here to make theirprograms better.I don't know how many personal notes I've received over the years (I guess Ishould count them all up for some sort of statistical reasoning, but its notimportant) asking for advice or an opinion because "I've read your postingon Scouts-L and wanted some more information" or "I know that we've talked

about it on Scouts-L in the past and I don't want to bring it up right nowagain, but...." Scouts-L and your part in administering it has *made thedifference* between some "good Scouters" and some GREAT Scouters.

An example of that can be found in "Dr. Steve", Steve Meyers. "Dr. Steve"took a Troop and restarted it, using a lot of the advice and information weall provided from Scouts-L.He used what we stated, along with what the BSA says should be done and whathe wanted to do as a new Scoutmaster, and have made Troop 1 in Akron, THEplace to be.He increased the membership, the finances, and the visiability of the Troop.In the process, Dr. Steve also convinced *other new Scoutmasters* as to howTroop operations and programming should be conducted. Simply, Jon, you madeit possible for Dr. Steve and a WHOLE BUNCH of OTHER "Dr. Steves" readingand printing hereto be highly successful Scoutmasters!!

What I've enjoyed most about Scouts-L:

In one word: Everything. I enjoyed the banter about "which Wood Badgepatrol was the best" (I STILL say "Beavers Build Better Wood Badgers!"*heheheheee*). I enjoyed reading about how various Scouters have had greatexperiences using some of the things we've talked about here. I enjoyedbeing able to help others by answering a question or making a comment. Ienjoyed the argumentative nature of some of our discussions, and readingothers' points-of-view on a issue or topic. I enjoyed even doing theresearch for many of the questions that we've asked here and couldn't get ananswer right away. I enjoyed writing personal letters to new Eagle Scouts,and sending them via email to their Scoutmasters or Advisors. I enjoyedgetting information about youth medical disorders, about national programsand events and how to participate, about how youth members are making adifference locally without the benefit of "being a Scout" or a Guide.

I didn't enjoy hearing about Scouters whom have "went home", nor aboutScouters that got into the news negatively. I didn't enjoy talking abouttopics that we can't really come to a consensus on and which led us off whatwe all agreed we're about here. I didn't enjoy getting email from Scoutersthat told me "you're full of it, you know?" But in those cases and others,I have *enjoyed* getting them from Scouts-L....because it shows me that eventhough that others may NOT agree with my way of thinking (or National's wayof thinking, which I've tried as hard as I can to "represent" in many of mypostings in lieu of getting an "official poster" to do so)...they AREthinking and feeling. Those postings left me looking at my screen,sometimes with eyes closed in prayer, sometimes with my mouth open indisbelief, and sometimes with my hands and mouth yelling back at the monitor!!!

You've brought all of that to us....you, the resources of Texas ChristianUniversity, and the listserver software. While "Lefty" got us all started,you moved us toward the Information Age and toward our own direction. Mypersonal prayers are for your continued service to us, for your continuedhealth and that of your family, and that you continue to be of service toothers through your interaction in Scouting there in your local Council.You've meant a lot to *all* of us, Jon. There's a great deal of respect,love and support for you and your hard, tiresome work at keeping us alltalking with each other around this large international "virtual fire".

"Large, international virtual fire". We've always been such aninternational forum, even from our beginnings when we had (and still have)folks like Anne Page and Ian Ford around, giving us perspective and askingquestions from New Zealand and England. Only today, we've added 14 othercountries and territories to our "review list". Again, you have been soinstrumental in getting us access and getting us exposure to Scouters on aworldwide scope. Sometimes I have to look down at the signature from Grantor Byron and remember that they are Scouters in Australia or Canada....theircomments, thoughts and feelings are just as important to me as those fromDave Hultberg, or Randy Finder, John Pannell, Cathy Porter or MicheleKonigsdorf. Or those that are silently sitting at their screens, readingeach and every posting, and whose "voices" we'll never hear.

Again, thanks for bringing us *all* together every day, Jon. Thanks fortaking your personal and professional time in getting the resources,fighting for us and getting us space on the University's servers to let usall talk with, for and about each other and the myriad of national,regional, and local programs we belong to. Thanks for not making adistinction between "those activily in the program" and those "that rememberthe program or used to be in the program". Over the seven years, we've hadfolks here that have been "thrown out" of their program, professionals andformer professionals, youth agency leaders, recreational aides, churchleaders, and a lot of present and former Boy and Girl Scouting leaders hereat Scouts-L. Each person brought to this list their own personality, theirown perspective, their own experiences, and a lot of joy and sorrow to thislist. It has made this list a large, international community.

You made it all work. Work well, work without a lot of conflict and problemsthat so many other groups have suffered. You've given us a voice,individual and as a group.

Thanks for providing us with getting that hug, that pat on the back, thatkick in the seat, that lump in our throats, that warm feeling in our heartsand stimulation in our minds over the years.

Thank you also for allowing me to offer my personal reflection on what I've

done and wasn't able to do in Scouting and for giving me a place to sharethose reflections with so many others...not in hopes of selling books orbragging, but to allow them to think about their own service and the way itmakes a difference...a big difference....in some youth member, some adultmember, some parent, some friend of theirs.

Here's to another six years of service to all of us around the"International Roundtable meeting that NEVER ends!" If you EVER needanything, please don't hesitate to let me know. I owe you a lot, Jon...andwon't ever forget what you've given all of us here in this forum!!

Jon,

I have been a member of the Scouts-L e-mail discussion list sinceabout 1992. I have used the list actively except for one year (I wason leave) since that time. As far as I know, you are the only listowner that Scouts-L ever had.

I appreciate your serving as list owner for the Scouts-L list, and Iappreciate TCU for allowing you to host the list on one of theircomputers.

I personally have found the list most worthwhile. It ahs answeredmany of my questions, most of the time before I even have formulatedthe question completely in my mind. The list has been a tremendoussource of materials for serving on training staffs for Pow-Wows, SMFs,and Commissioner Colleges. It also has served well in preparing foradult scout meetings (troop/pack committee, districtcommittee/commissioners/ council board, etc.)

Locally, we have several scouters on the list. Frequently, we discusstopics from Scouts-L orally when we meet together. We like theconcept of Scouts-L discussion list so much that we started our ownPawnee Bill e-mail e-mail discussion list for local scouting eventsand concerns.

Jon, Keep up the good work -- and we know it takes a lot of work tomanage the list. All of us out here in Scouting Cyber Spaceappreciate and use the service you provide through Scouts-L.

We hope you enjoyed your Philmont Trek.

Everyone has different ideasand at time has generated "interesting" comments.Thanks for keeping this list going.

In recent weeks I've been upgrading my system, and sitting in frong oftwo keyboards trying to figure which one to use. And, during that time, hewell deserved accolades for Jon have been scrolling down the screen. I allude to my computer problems because it contrasts with that whichScouts-L, and Jon, have provided us all. Scouts-l means that working throughproblems is not a solitary effort. Willing and knowledgeable mentors are onlya couple of keystrokes away - even at a distance of 12,000 miles. Jon has allowed us to share in the collective wisdom and experiences ofothers; loosen up with the posted humor during those occasional tense moments;and, meet so many others with similar interests, visions, or passions. Scouting does not bring isolation, but Unit, District, Council hadrepresented the normally contemplated boundaries. With Scouts-l our boundaryis the globe. And, if we would designate "Sojourner" as an honorary Explorerand member of our virtual roundtable (and commentor on extraterrestrialgeology), we can expand into the Solar System. When a weekend away from Scouts-L yields 100+ messages the challengeseems daunting, but in the end the accomplishment is rewarding. Perhaps not asexhilerating as a Philmont trek, Scouts-L has become an importent part of ourcollective memories. In a couple of weeks, I hope to share with you all experiences of theCanadian Jamboree, as so many have shared their experiences. So thanks Jon, thanks for your vision. YIS Jay Thal
