Krampus, I'd like to offer a different view on the Jambo patch. I view those old patches as heritage. The folks that wear the patches took part in BSA history. If they are still wearing a uniform, it shows tenure too. Disclaimer: I've never been to a jambo and have no intention of doing so. Not my thing. But I support the folks who go. Philmont was my pinnacle of scouting as a youth ('77).
Believe me, I'm not criticizing, just observing. Especially when it comes to various kinds of trolling, subtle or overt. I for one can not judge anyone due to the beam in my own eye.
We've covered a lot of ground here--guns, beer, scouter ratios, processed food in the chow hall, healthy food from elsewhere, camp routines, preparedness v. paranoia--and that's not all.
Frankly, this is the most interesting thread I've seen here in awhile.
Stosh, thanks for those superb thoughts about canvas floorless tents. I have two of those. They are old BSA tents from the '60s--Miner and Voyager. I prefer them over any other tent.
