Hi there: Here is another blog from the Cubmaster’s point of view. I am going into my second year as Cubmaster. Third year over all. Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

I just started a site – http://www.scoutermom.com
I am a den leader in our pack, an assistant scoutmaster in our troop, and the advisor for our crew. A scouting triple play! Anyway, I’m posting stuff I’ve already done the research for on my blog. Maybe it will save somebody else some time. Love your site! Thanks.

Hi Gregg,

I know you added a 100 days of scouting section to the site and I wanted to drop you the link for my 100 days of scouting site. The site is http://100daysofscouting.posterous.com .
Thanks!

[...] This was rather surprising to me. If you anxiously read the BSA Annual Report each year like I do, you already know that there are almost twice as many Cub Scouts as Boy Scouts. I guess I failed to notice there are more Boy Scout adult leaders than Cub Scout adult leaders, but this gap is still surprising. I think this probably reflects that more of the blogs on HalfEagle are focused on Boy Scouts than Cub Scouts, and this is probably because of my bias as a Scoutmaster toward reading those blogs. I’ll try to add some more quality Cub Scouting and Venturing blogs. If you know of one, recommend it in the comments here. [...]

I think this might be of interest to your (our) blogging community. I am trying to do two things–1) reach out beyond our immediate area and use this as tool to encourage folks to look at a small rustic BSA camp; and 2) pave a way for other camps to get online and show their stuff.

Thanks,
Todd

Thanks for accepting me on your site.
I know a lot of people who read my stuff aren’t from the UK, so I try to remember this and not use too many abbreviations or properly explain myself if I’m talking about something that is UK specific.

Thanks again.

Hello Nick!

I checked the visitor stats for HalfEagle and 93% of it’s visitors are from the U.S. Almost 5% come from the UK.

I already include international Scouting photos in the photo feed precisely because I think it’s inspiring and helpful to see what Scouts do all over the world. Pictures can speak to us regardless of language.

Because the terminology of Scouting in the UK is a bit different than the terminology of Scouting in the US, I think it might be a tad confusing for readers. However, I think that it’s a worthwhile enterprise.

I’m going to add your blog and see how it goes!

Cheers,
Gregg
