Sewing Tips for sewing Scout Badges

I  really like this information.  I may invest in the magic badge tape!  I usually try to match the color of the thread around the badges.

TIP: for Unit Numerals try sewing them together first before sewing them on the uniform.

TIP: you can also tape them in place instead of pinning.  Just do not sew over the tape.  Tape half of the badge then remove the tape to finish sewing.  I use double sided tape.

Welcome to new Cub Leaders

Cub Scout Leader Vitamins

When new leaders come into our pack I give them some new leader vitamins.  I buy the mini M&Ms in tubes and then print this out and tape on the outside.  It works great as a fun "welcome to the pack" ceremony.

Leaders’ Vitamins

Green: Good Ideas – Take regularly

Yellow: Energy – Take sparingly

Orange: Patience– Take faithfully

Brown: Planning – Take monthly

Red: Pizzazz & Creativity – Take before

meetings and share with a fellow leader.

Clip Art for cub scouts

There's lots of computer programs too to get clipart, but how about some free stuff to Dress up

While doing some research to make Class B uniforms for boy to use at Summer Camp I cam across this website.  This has a lot of scouting clipart to use for BSA purposes.  Thought I would pass along the website.

LDS Troops and Woodbadge

A friend has made a website for LDS Troops and thought I would pass this along.

He was doing it toward one of his woodbadge tickets.  Woodbadge is "extra" leadership training and well worth the experience.  I personally have not completed it, but my husband has and so has his brother.  I know many other leaders who have taken it as well.  It is not just for boy scout leaders, but for any scouting leaders.  I'm sure it is well worth the time and money.  A great learning experience will be in store.

Here is the website to tell you about woodbadge.
