Show Notes

Brian rejoins the podcast, and we catch up with him about Pinewood Derby, a certain zombie movie, and badges.

Podcast Topics

We were finally able to get Brian back on the show, so we took the opportunity to catch up with him about a few topics that have been discussed in recent episodes. A lot of the discussion focused on Pinewood Derby, and the similarities and differences between how Scouts Canada and Boy Scouts of America give youth the opportunity to build and race wooden vehicles.

But, we also took the time to discuss badges and badge trading a bit more, comparing BSA's use of badge vests to Scouts Canada's use of campfire blankets. And Colin even took a moment to ask for Brian's thoughts on that zombie apocalypse movie.

Shout-Outs

Scouter Glenn (also known to his Cub Scouts as Akela), from Ontario, who wrote in:

I wanted to thank you for the time you spend on the podcast. For some reason I never thought to look for a Scout podcast to add to my lineup, but decided to look a month or so ago. I came across your cast and have been catching up ever since.

Our group has decided to go to the CJ17 for the first time in our group's recent history, so your discussion about badge trading and your Jamboree pasts have been great. I've honestly been taking notes!
