Hi, I attended my first beaveree as a scouter and was inspired by the deep roots expressed via the camp blankets. More than expressing tradition, I imagine it helps drive tradition, by tapping into our completionist collector nature, driving people to never miss an event. I also noticed that only older scouters seemed to embrace the tradition, making me want to help bring interest back in our yound and middle aged leadership.

I recognize that "this was my first rodeo" and that my perception might have been skewed by the fact that it was quite warm, reducing the functional need of the blanket.

Based on this, a few questions:

1. Is it actually a dying tradition?

2. If so, would others welcome a push to bring it back?

3. Where should I get my blanket? Adult size and kid size suggestions are welcome

4. Any good links or instructions on cutting the head hole are welcome too.

No need to answer all 4 in your response.

Thanks

I know they have been communicative about the new date.
However, if they change the registration date one more time I will lose my mind.

September ---- December ----- June.

Anyone else feel this is just really messy?

I hate that I had to double pay for half a year. (100.00 off isn't a deal).

Is there something I'm missing?
