Makes me sad that I never continued Boy Scouts, sad because I will be eighteen in a month. Can’t really rejoin at that age now can I?

great information and helpful guide. The bicycle racers in the end of Tenderfoot requirement 10b aren’t wearing helmets, which isn’t very safe, and I feel is somewhat our of place for Boy Scouts were we are very safety oriented.

It’s a great way to actually see what I need to do, to bad they don’t have something like this for merit badges.

In your American flag video, you forgot to mention that it shouldNEVER touch the FLOOR!!!!!! I’m a tenderfoot (well, all but board of review), and I know it! Great videos, though.

Oct. 8, 2008 at 5:51 pm
they are really helpful like with first calss cooking gear I could not watch the video but it basiclly tells you right under the video how cool is that
Oct. 14, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Check with your scoutmaster. He should have received these videos on a DVD from BSA National earlier this summer. This is a great tool to put in the hands of the older scouts to add pizzazz to their teaching sessions.

Dec. 13, 2008 at 1:53 pm
If I am correct, first you get your Tenderfoot, then your 2nd class, then your 1st class.

“A Former Scout” can rejoin the BSA as an adult.

I agree with “knotmaster140″. The podcasts are not working (at least for an Apple iPod (Classic)).
