Scoutmaster Podcast 266

Riddle from listener John Dyer: what is black when you get it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away? (Answer: charcoal, revealed later.)

Clarke reveals the charcoal riddle answer; mail from Gary Miller (caught up on all 266 episodes) and Martin Ornberg, assistant council commissioner in Alabama, explaining the newer my.scouting.org site and sharing a PDF guide; blog post mentions including a Green Bar Bill 1927 article and 'Why do Scouts go camping?'; live chat shoutouts; backer appeal thanking Agnes Monzingo.

Third part of the series tracing Green Bar Bill Hillcourt's connections to Baden-Powell, the disastrous 1970s program revision, Hillcourt's volunteer rewrite of the ninth edition Scout Handbook, and Clarke reading page nine — 'Your Life as a Scout' — as the distilled source code of Scouting.
