Live long and prosper with the ladies: It’s Shirtless Kirk cologne

Shared by David

I got to get me a bottle of this! Captain Kirk war the Man!

Shirtless kirk

Yes, Shirtless Kirk cologne is real. Or it will be in July anyway.

Here’s the ad copy: “Sometimes the only thing
standing between you and a successful mission is a thin piece of cloth.
And whether in battle or love, you know the shirt is simply…optional.
Some say it’s the Uniform – made to command respect, strength and
honor; but it’s your flesh and blood barely contained within that
svelte Officer’s Attire that make you exactly who and what you are. And
you know it. Shirtless Kirk. Save the Day…Save the Night. 100ml Eau
de Toilette Vaporisateur Spray. Order yours today!”

Suggested retail price: 29.99 … and your immortal soul.

Had the honor of going to Springs Ranch Elementary today and tag along with the 5th graders on their last Field Day of Elementary School.  It was windy, but I think the kids had a great time.

California bill would mandate Veterans Day observance | size, font, 11px – Military – Colorado Sprin

California bill would mandate Veterans Day observance | size, font, 11px – Military – Colorado Sprin

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California’s Legislature and state agencies would have to observe Veterans Day on Nov. 11, not another day that is more convenient for government employees, under legislation that is supported by veterans’ organizations.
    The best thing California has done in years… Only wish Colorado would mandate celebrating Veteran’s day. Last two years our school district barely even acknowledged this day.

Camp Elim Trip

Just got back from a trip with the Springs Ranch Elementary School 5th Grade to Camp Elim.  Had a great time, even if chaperoning was a lot more work than anticipated.

 


“Didn’t get to take as many photos as I would have liked… Chaperoning was a bit more work than we were led to believe it would be :~) “

New insignia recognizes a unit's founding members

Shared by David

I might be a nerd, but I think is a great idea… I might start up a new unit just so I can wear this.

Foundersbar

Beginning in 1910, the founders of the Boy Scouts of America set out to create a program to enrich the lives of young people. It was no easy task, but their efforts paid off—big time.

Each year since, thousands of Scouts and Scouters have followed in the founders’ footsteps by creating a new Scouting unit. The BSA wants to recognize the efforts of a unit’s founding members with a special piece of insignia—just in time for the program’s 100th Anniversary.

The Founder’s Bar, shown above, is worn by all youth and adults whose names are on a new-unit charter or who officially join the new unit before the unit recharters for the first time. Members of veteran units still in operation who were on the original charter may also wear the Founder’s Bar with that unit’s numerals.

You don’t wear the bar until your original charter is up. After you recharter for the first time, all youth and adults who were on the new-unit charter can sew the Founder’s Bar on the left sleeve below the unit numerals.

Do you qualify? Contact your local Scout shop for information on how to purchase the materials shown above.

Wear the patch with pride and the knowledge that your work in forming and sustaining a Scouting unit has added to the program’s impressive history.
