Scouts should bring their own, but the one I would really suggest, though a bit pricey is the Sog Mini Aegis I picked his up on massdrop for $42.
Currently on Amazon for $42.29
I got one for my son. It's perfect size for Bear hands and has a safety. The only caveat is the assisted opening.

Bear Claws makes me nervous with my den. I've got 24 boys this year and It's going to be quite the adventure. I'm saving it for late in the year and making sure I have plenty of first aid supplies.


I would definitely not start with Bear Claws. I never do them in book order.

That's really nice of you to stick around and support the other den like that! ::internet high five::

I loved this adventure. Another tip... for the rock testing, the book encourages families to make their own mineral test kits, which is fine if they happen to have panes of glass and loose ceramic tiles just laying around. Odds are they don't, so I just recommended to my families that they purchase this kit from amazon.

At $15 each, it was too expensive for me to justify buying for everyone, but not crazy expensive that the families couldn't afford it. And if anyone can't afford it, just buy one for the den and let them share it.


Also here's a post where I got some decent info on rock identification from r/geology. The most important thing I took away from that post was that rock identification is HARD! We emphasized the most important part was learning the process, even if we couldn't get a good name for rock. And there were 1 or 2 we couldn't identify for sure--but practicing the process was fun.

Give him something to distract him from his tantrums.

You could try incentivizing it, or (with Dad’s permission) just flat out give it to him. Another option is to say that he can use it while he participated in scouts (but can’t take it home).

I’m not a doctor, or anything of that sort. I’m not trying to dismiss or diagnose anything. I’m just trying to think outside the cube... box on this one.

Another option, for the dad to buy, might be a weighted jacket (eg like this ). My wife and I got both our boys weighted blankets for at home, and at least for my oldest it seems to work really well when he gets super worked up. And he has not been diagnosed on the spectrum.

It’s at least worth discussing with dad. What’s important here is the boy’s well being and trying to find ways to get him to calm down.

If you remember, please update us. I’d love to know if anyone’s suggestions helped in anyway.

I'll have to find out about getting a Square. I'm sure that'll help a lot.

I'm thinking of getting these bracelets and using fishing line to attach these tags. I'll print out a little $100 club or whatever ($150?) and glue it on the tag. I'm considering putting something like these clear stickers over it as well to protect it a bit. I'm not sure though as the major complaint about those stickers is that they don't stick on for long.

We have had an Ion Block Rocker Bluetooth speaker for several years. I’m not sure how old it is, but it works well enough. I wish I could make it a bit louder.

I added a longer 1/4 inch microphone extension cable to give more freedom to walk around without being tied so closely to the speaker. This also lets me set it up off the ground for better sound projection.

I also got a set of wireless karaoke microphones. The wired microphone can plug into that base unit. This gives us three mics to pass around to leaders and scouts.

The Block Rocker speaker has an internal rechargeable battery, so I was able to use it with the wired mic outdoors where we had no other power source.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but would you consider something like this from KutMaster? I know it's not the traditional 'swiss army' style, but from personal experience, I've used the pliers on my multi-tool more than anything other than the blade anyway.

We've done Adventures in Science so far. The toughest part was finding a scientist to talk to. My assistant den leader has a neighbor we were able to bring in to a den meeting.

The scouts loved launching rockets. If you're so inclined, you can get a dozen Estes Alpha III rockets on Amazon (Hobby Lobby and the Scout Shop had more difficult models in their bulk packs). Pick up a bulk pack of engines from Hobby Lobby with their 15% off coupon. Between these two purchases we had enough for a dozen scouts to launch twice for around $10 per scout.

We've made some of this:

UST 30 Foot ParaTinder Utility Cord with Heavy Duty Paracord and Flammable Thread Core for Emergency, Hiking, Camping, Backpacking or Outdoor Survival https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EL13YY2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lUNJDbKM8E6T5

Tinder inside the cord. The woggle becomes a multi use item.

Don't forget that Scouts should be encouraged to wear their neckerchief with their Activity Uniform shirt. The neckerchief can be a useful tool, not just a dress accoutrement.

I checked around the inter-webs. I found Holley Knives on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_qz_back?sf=qz%2Crba&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AHolley+Knives&keywords=Holley+Knives&unfiltered=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1543264247) . They will 3-d print the scales of the knife. And they have a pink ( https://www.amazon.com/HOLLEY-Pocket-Multi-tool-MOD12B-Printed/dp/B076BR814W ) and a purple option . The only issue I have, is I can't see any reviews of their products. Main website - https://www.holleypocketknives.com/

This is great. I'm also on the search. I've heard terrible things about the BSA branded knives, so I'm looking elsewhere. I also know there's a 100% chance this knife will eventually get lost, so I'm looking for cheap (no $150 Benchmade yet!). I've found plenty of ideas from /r/knives, I've been going back and forth with these two:

I use this:

I can usually get two nights out of it. Do not turn on the heater of your CPAP if you have one. Have a tight seal on your mask. Leaks means the fan runs harder. Get a cigarette plug adapter for your CPAP machine to avoid convertering from 12V battery to 120V AC interter back to 12V DC.
