When we are reasonably sure that we can provide patches to these Scouts and that we can provide patches to your Scouts, we will announce that the program has be reinstated on our home page and via our e-mail newsletter. The stock of patches was in the possession of our fulfillment agent and we have not been able to obtain any records of who ordered the patches and whether any patches were delivered. We are currently attempting to gather information to let us know how many patches we would need to make good on all of the orders placed. We will verify your parent's consent before we respond to you. If you are under the age of 13, you probably won't be hearing from us.
Civil liability is another thing altogether.
Fortunately, there is a much better solution than asking us. Anything you email to the list gets forwarded to about 2000 scouters. If you are under 13, we encourage you not to engage in private e-mail exchanges with other members. You should only reply to the listserver where your conversation is very public. Please do not provide personal information about yourself such as your school, address or phone number when you particpate in an online discussion.
