Senior scouts in Kwajalein Girl Scout Troop 801 presented George Seitz Elementary School students with a Buddy Bench in late May during a special assembly. The bench is designed to foster friendship, empathy and community in the student body.
A Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad rifle with the black, wrinkle finish fiberglass stock. The Scout Squad model has a shorter barrel with an integral scope mount protruding through the handguard. A scope with a long eye relief or a non-magnifying electronic sight would be appropriate here. This one came with a post-ban style muzzle brake instead of the usual M14 flash hider. I found the new-old-stock, black web sling at a gun show.
This rifle is no longer in my collection. Though it was in my safe without incident for more than a decade, the state where I live decided that such an evil device (manufactured by Satan himself) was too dangerous for a civilian to own. I had it shipped to an out of state dealer where it was sold at a loss. I can only hope that its new owner uses it as responsibly as I have.
Nani iro double gauze. Size 4, lengthened the front and back a quarter inch, and lengthened sleeves about 2 inches. I think with the next one I need to grade the shoulders to a size 2, and narrow and lengthen the sleeves just a smidgen.
This is scout, a miniature horse that works as a guide horse. I saw him and his partner at the Cincinnati airport and asked if I could take a picture as I had never seen a guide horse before! Yes, he did get on a plane!
I was never a Scout. I was invited to be a Scoutmaster but I don't have the time. I was invited to take pictures of an activity in 2015. I was still an apprentice in photography, most of the pictures turned out bad. I will post only the best.
Scout or Scote Hall is on a small hill on the south side of upper Shibden Dale. The history of the site can be traced back to 1315 when the Stancliffe family were owners. By Elizabethan times, there were two large houses here. There is no date on the present building, but a nearby cottage has 1661 on it, and a sundial plate dated ANNO 1617. It is a large 3-storey, 52 room, four square building built and owned by the Mitchell family in the late 1600s. It has a mixture of architectural styles, from Jacobean, Caroline and Georgian to Italianate. It is thought by some to be a Calendar building - its 12 bays representing the months, the 52 doors the weeks and the 365 windows the days. By the mid-1980s, the Hall was derelict and in a serious state of decay and ruin; it was partially restored in the 1980s by local businessman Peter Mellor, but now [2003] seems to be again in a state of disrepair. It was once described by architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner, in his 'Buildings of England', as a "half derelict palace in the deserted English countryside".
The Hall is a Grade II* listed building. Nine 2- light mullioned and transomed windows to south divided into groups of 3, 4 and 2 by small, elliptical openings set in corniced rectangular panels. Central corniced doorway. Moulded storey bands. 4 windows to east return. 3 windows to west with tier of elliptical openings. Rear wing in ruins.
Bought four Scout comics at a convention I went to recently. Scout was a book by Timothy Truman of GrimJack fame. It featured a character named Emanuel Santana in a post-apocalyptic United States. I've yet to read any of the Scout comics I picked up, but I hope to enjoy 'em when I do.

Not quite sure how this fitted in with the theme of WW1 Military Pageant, but then neither did the Vulcan :-)
A Boy Scout (in most countries simply a Scout) is a boy or a girl, usually 11 to 18 years of age, participating in the worldwide Scouting movement. Because of the large age and development span, many Scouting associations have split this age group in a junior and a senior section. Boy Scouts are organized into troops averaging twenty to thirty Scouts under guidance of one or more Scout leaders. Troops subdivide into patrols of about six Scouts and engage in outdoor and special interest activities. Troops may affiliate with local, national, and international organizations.
Some national Scouting associations have special interest programs such as Air Scouts, Sea Scouts, outdoor high adventure, Scouting bands, and rider scouts. Some troops, especially in Europe, have been co-educational since the 1970s, allowing boys and girls to work together as Scouts.
