The information Nc on Kid Scouts

Hello,
Kid Scouts is fully sponosored by two stores Rebel Chick and Kids Life.

Ty for your intrest in Kid Scouts little bit about us first.
We were founded in Sept 2006 and disbanded for about 11 months due to rl and not having time for sl. Then we regrouped in Oct 2007 and have been going strong and just hit over 100 members in the kid scout group. Orginally we met in the sim of gourdneck in my old theme park named Thrill Ville but now kid scouts has its home here in Ivanovaô€€€

Kid Scouts is completely non profit. There are no dues for uniforms or joining the group what so ever. The main goal is so baby,infant,toddler, child,pre teen, and early teenage avies can come together for a bit of fun.

We accept Boys and Girls from 2 weeks old to 16 years old.
All Boys start off as bobcats and all girls start off as brownies regardless of their age. You reach the other levels by merit and particpating in the group activites. You never have to do anything perfectly here you just have to try.

Note to Parents:
Parents are welcome to come to all the meetings with their child. Parents are welcome to join the kid scout group so they can receieve notices and know whats going on and see the group chat. BUT theres always a but we sometimes have arts and craft and building projects and i understand not everyone can build i provide the basic shapes and textures and the angles that they go so people who do not understand how to build and can just line up the prims. So let your child do their work if they need help linking thats one thing but dont build their tent for them or bird house.

Meeting Times:
Brownies and Bobcats: Saturdays 10am-11am sl time
Sundays 11am-12pm sl time
Junior Girl and Boy: Saturdays 11am-12pm sl time
Sundays 10am-11am sl time
Girl and Eagle: Satudays 12pm-1pm sl time
Sundays 12pm-1pm sl time

The reason there are two meetings each week is the fact some people can make one and not the other due to rl. The meetings repeat so you only have to come to one meeting a week.

The schudle of events are posted in the meeting hall on BillBoards if your ever wandering what were up to for the following week.

Meetings:
Generally every meeting we have you can earn a merit badge. I understand lag so i know when your computer is laggy its hard to do. Thats why i say all you have to do is try. You show up you have fun you make some friends thats the main goal of scouts right there is for you guys to have fun and be with other child avies in a safe enviroment.

From this point on ANY time i have a meeting and its planned that i have to leave Ivanova like for example surfing we had to go to the weather channel sim I will send out a permisson slipe the week prior to the event stateing where were going with a landmark. If you the parent deem this place a spot you do not wish to take your child then I will not take them there and they will simply miss that meeting that simple.

The meetings range from all sorts of events. In the meeting hall we have three sections on the wall of all the badges that are so far schudle for events and that have been earned. So feel free to browse the badges.

Other levels attending another levels meeting. Lets say a junior girl/boy scout wants to go to the brownie/bobcat meeting. Thats fine no problem with that she/he just wont earn the badge for the brownie/bobcat meeting. Or if a brownie/bobcat wishes to go to a junior girl/boy event they wont earn that badge. If you are a brownie or bobcat you can only earn the badge desiganted for your group. You welcome to go to the other levels events if you like but you can not earn their badge.

Promotions:
(this has recenetly change please read)
Due to the fact alot of kids have said i want my sash full i refuse to be promoted their absolutely right.
Thats why after careful months of thinking Kid Scouts is raising the amount of badges needed for promotion so that the scouts can experience the many different events and not feel like they missed out on anything.

Brownies and Bobcats need ten merit badges to be promoted
Junior Girl and Boy Scouts need 18 badges to be promoted
Girl and Eagle Scouts need 24 badges to be promoted

Now you may ask whats beyond the Girl and Eagle Scout Level. Well if you can make it past that many badges i have a feeling you really like the group at this point. So if you manage to get the 24 badges then you will be prompted to assistant scout leader. Where each week we will meet discuss the schedule of events. Where u can request which group of scouts u wish to aid with. If you wish to help with the brownies and bobcats you come to the brownie and bobcat meetings and help run the event.

Award Cermoney:
Now when and where do you get promoted
We generally have a talent show right before the award cermoney. But due to our last one this is whats gonna happen.

Scouts will be broken into two or if need be three or four groups. There will be 15 scouts in each group. Those 15 will be this is your day for the talent show and this is your day for the award cermoney and those 15 scouts each get ONE ticket. To give to ONE family member to come and watch them. I am on the mainland i can not afford an island i can only afford half of a sim not a whole one. The sim max is 40 and im not the only one here so 31 people will leave 9 open for the other businesses.

If you do not have a ticket and you are at the talent show/award cermoney you will be IMed and asked to leave the sim so that there is room for the scouts and people who have tickets.

After the award cermoney your sash starts a new meaning you do not transfer your brownie bobcat badges onto the new sash. The next level has a completely new set of badges for you to earn. Your old sash many scouts are hanging them on their walls or on a shelf because it really is an accomplishment to have completed it. So your old sash and badges is yours to with as you like but when you are promoted you start a new.

Rules for the Scouts:
Dont kill each other
