I was a Scout too and remember those times with fondness as well.

After the service, the Pastor and I had a nice chat about Venturing. Now I need to find more information about starting a Crew.

Contact your District Executive or District Commissioner. Failing that your Council Commissioner or Council Executive, in that order and they should be able to help not only form a Venturing Crew/Team but get the adult leaders the necessary training.

Happy Birthday to the Boy Scouts of America.
Is it also Girl Scouts birthday? I remember when we had the Scout-o-Rama at the L.A. Coliseum. Those were the days...

Girl Scouting’s Birthdate is March 12 1912. Girl Scout Sunday is that week. They were granted a U.S Federal Charter on March 16, 1950.

Thanks, SandRat. I was a Bluebird, and then I “flew up” to become a Girl Scout. We met at my church. That would have been late ‘50s.

Now when there is a service project planned, a Hornaday Conservations work project, or and Eagle project planned we extend an invitation to the local Girl Scout Troop. Then send the Girl Scout Troop a report of what girls assisted on what and how many hours so that they can get get credit in the Girl Scout program. Teaching the boys to be ‘Gentlemen.’

No, you're right that it isn't Rockwell...can't recall the guy's name, but there's an artist the BSA has brought in specifically to continue the Rockwellesque tradition of scout paintings. He's doing a great job.
This isn't one of his, but I like it a lot..."Timing is Everything" by Dru Blair...note the cub scouts at the lower left:

Teaching the boys to be Gentlemen. Do we ever need that! As some who are older seem to have forgotten.

Oh, forgot to mention...met a gent today at the servicewho was one of the chartering scouts when the troop was founded in 1942. Turns out he stayed for 50 years and retired as scoutmaster in 1992!

Joseph Csatari, Norman Rockwell’s Scouting successor, is also an American realist artist and illustrator. Like Rockwell, Csatari illustrated for the Saturday Evening Post, Brown & Bigelow Boy Scout calendars, and Boys’ Life magazine covers. His involvement with the Boy Scouts of America has been one of length and dedication.
Csatari was born in 1929 in New Jersey. As a child, he copied the Saturday Evening Post covers of his idol Norman Rockwell. He went on to study art at the Academy of Arts in Newark, New Jersey, and the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
In 1953, Csatari worked for the Boy Scouts as the art director in the Supply Division department. He chose this position in hopes of one day getting to meet Rockwell.

Seeing the actual paintings was very moving

We’re actually celebrating Scout Sunday next Sunday. We’re cooking up a pancake breakfast after the service for the parish.
