much.  Changing from winter to summer didn't detract from the awe. "I WILL
RETURN".  Who else said that?  The only thing I didn't quite appreciate was
the weather.  More like April than July.  Met friends from The Badger's Club
whom I had traded with in the mail.  Had a truely wonderful time and I didn't
want to come home.  (Had to; wife and kids would have missed me eventually.)
Do you have any extra A.J. badges or their subcamps for trade?  I would be

Thanks for answering my message. Yes, I did hear about the bomb the other day

What is you age Gabby, and how long have you been a scout? I believe I read
in one of your messages that the rank structure over there is very different.
Does Israel scouting have ranks like the USA, such as Tenderfoot, Second
Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle ? Where do you go camping in
rael?
I hope to hear from you again Gabby. Take care.

It is nice to meet you. We are almost neighbors. I live in Decatur, Alabama,
on the Tennessee River, about 25 miles southwest of Huntsville. I am an
Asst. Scoutmaster in Troop 260, have one son that is 13 years old and a
Star Scout, and another son that is 10 years old and is a first year Weblo in
Cub Scouts. So, I am active in both Troop 260 and Pack 260. I earned my
Arrow of Light, God and Country, Brotherhood member of the Order of the
Arrow, and received my Eagle Scout in January, 1965, at the age of 15 ye
years old. I have also just received my beads from Wood Badge.
Our troop is in the Arrowhead District of the Tennessee Valley Council.
We went to summer camp at Camp Daniel Boone, NC, where it is nice and c
cool, about three weeks ago. Our troop had about 45 boys and 25 adult
leaders.
It is nice to meet you Jeremy, and I hope to hear from you.

assistant: Jeremy,
I was about to upload an old list to you here, but I think it's more
than 6 months old and I really hate to send old stuff out.  BBS numbers
come and go, and it's a real bother to people to wake them up on their
new voice line to hear a modem screech from someone who does not know
that the other guy's BBS died and the number got recycled to voice...
My OLD list had the following 901 BBS's related to Scouting:
901-644-0466  Playground BBS
901-761-1147  Mr. Zip BBS
These may or may not still be BBS's.  Please call voice at a decent
hour first, to make sure a modem answers.
Do you know a guy named MICHAEL CONDRY in the Menphis area?  Michael
is probably active on-line and I know he uses CompuServe for its
access to the Internet.  He's a Scouter from this (East Tennessee)
area, and should be up to speed on who in the 901 area has a Scouting
related BBS.  I think he works for IBM.
I'll send him a copy of this message, and perhaps he will see it
and try to reach you.
Good Luck.

  Scouting in Argetnina, and in some many countries is loosing that 'kind of
