Scoutmaster Podcast 206

Opening joke: it was so cold that the flames from a campfire froze, and scouts chipped off pieces to carry in their pockets for warmth.

Listener mail from Christopher Cooper (Android app review), Don Fowler (camp name pronunciation), Dan Kendall (letting scouts run the troop), and Dan Cheney (using 'Get a Life' articles in newsletter). Clarke mentions the Green Bar Life section on scoutmastercgcom and thanks backer Tim Jakes.

Todd White asks about supporting Trail Life and other scouting programs; Tim Jakes (Troop 93, West Chester, PA) asks what changes the new BSA scout accounts policy will require.
