Scoutmaster Podcast 343

Two penguins and a boy scout walk into a convenience store carrying a canoe; the clerk asks if it's some kind of joke.

Listener mail from James Rogers (praise for the website), Frank Maynard (advice on unit commissioners for district/council relations), John Quintana (reflection on his son's Eagle Court of Honor), Jerry Fraley and Jim Brown (recruitment tips), Patrick Huber (district/council negativity), plus thanks to new backers and patrons including Linda Bastion and David Werner.

Anonymous sender asks whether a Life Scout inactive for three years must become active again before earning Eagle; George Stockburger (Troop 99, Newtown PA) asks about interdependence of First Class requirements 1a and 2a; anonymous sender reports a Scoutmaster running 75-minute retesting conferences instead of the discussion-based format described in the Guide to Advancement.
