Honouring February 22nd originated with Girl Guides in the UK during the early 1930's. They named it Thinking Day and set it aside to think of their sisters throughout the world. That date is the birthday of both Lord and Lady Baden Powell. Don't know the connection to Boy Scouts, so I can't spout about their presence at any special church services!

Lord Baden-Powell started the scouting movement, in the early 1900's
 
Then there are those wishing to be on the other side of the date line .. a singularity that moves ... leaving an allusion of a Brave Nous Deis ... when it goes around as prodigal ... wasteful picking up on what was previously lost ... and yet to be fully gathered ... similar to the line of thoughts! Distributed instead of retribution AL ... we have yet to discover that collective sense ... the great integration of nothing? Zero's AUM ... The Sounds of Silence ... my old friend ... left behind ...

I keep seeing the wrong date for the first Sunday of Lent. Have you noticed they have been sayin Shrove Tues was last week?

Crazyheart - I noticed here that a few churches do pancake suppers as fund raising events and some of those churches are having their suppers a week early so as not to compete. IMHO these should not be called Shrove Tuesday suppers.

My church, and the one I previously attended, make our Shrove Tuesday supper a congregational celebration before observing Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. No charge - donations to cover expenses.

Indeed he did. My uncle attended his very first camp for Scouts. That was held on Brownsea Island in 1907, and a highlight in my uncle's childhood. Guiding started in 1910 and I attended the national church service to honour fifty years of Guiding. It was at St Paul's Cathedral in London, England.

Most Baptist churches around here have AWANA rather than Scouts/Guides.

Do they do the adventurous things like camping and canoe trips? Awana in my home town seems to be for quite young kids - far too young for the things Scouts often do. My grandson went sailing for a week off Vancouver Island last summer. I know several boys who attended national or international camps.

Many United churches around here also have youth/children programs, in addition to offering up space and supporting guides and scouts.

Yeah, my family church sponsored and hosted the Scouting groups but also had CGIT and a youth group of it's own.

Ours is tomorrow evening and Saturday morning. I will be a 'member at large' because I became chair of a committee by default (no one else would do it!) Last night I organized a sharing session for LLWL, as part of my new duties as chair of the Christian Development committee. I was nervous about it (as I always am before I do something new), but it was a success. It felt really good to share in an open, honest, nonjudgmental way...no egos, just genuine caring and sharing. Very nice.

The non-judgemental comment is super ... I have trouble with the one way light! Our minister touched on the listening (to the stranger) syndrome very subtly in the worship service!
 
And I got to speak on transfiguration of the 23 degrees of magnitude of light from my 1st year university science text ...

I noted that the coincidence gives us a sense of magnitude to 23 books of the OT ... which is Isaiah ... old Semitic word that was replaced by lambda ... but went deeper in time to the Arabic Book of Optics ... and the letter ل

ل ... as lam or perhaps a lame thought without the collective ...

This was replaced in Greek fashion of dance by light of the moon ... that may appear as Moonie ... or simple woman with her but tocks up ... presenting a beauty of a curve similar to those about the bust ... where reality of cognizance first begins for a child of man ... some learn things men never heard or understood before as suggested in the NT Book of Acts that men should know 2, or 3 alien expressions ... something to work towards as a Job Action?

I was grilled by one of the few other students there (from science background) about my comment on 23 degrees of light energy ... he passed the course but didn't remember that detail ... it was perhaps in his mind a creative figment of things forgotten in space-time a very shadowy concept ... then theology students have trouble with physical observation ... their regards are towards things unseen and still can't Zae 'M ... then sec tarian views are denied for those hastening to get out of here and move on ...

Have you ever tarried about thoughts denied? In the light of Dais!

@Luce NDs is a hugger? Wow, who knew.

Reach out for the touché it is enveloped in the word ... if you can embrace the thought hidden in to wordy hollows ... hallowed zones ... perhaps with a eureka ... or metaphorical hallelujah ... with the Jahn folded in too ... so you wouldn't know unless you wished to dig in linguistic past for the understanding in word ... that's God fore Yah!

You may reject or deny alien expressions ... free choice ... but you may miss something ... wee/ouist, i.e. them gone west as frontier*semen ? How do cowboys get crude copies of themselves? Something not spoken of in restrictive surroundings about going'son in the un con science ... the Shadow persona? It follows ... describing the whys without wherefores ...

May the fores be with you so that you may foresee what follows ... ghostwriters in Skye? Aryan as a Celtic myth of maases ... in un cle' wiggly form ...

Indeed it did - my mom was an Explorers & CGIT leader & I participated; my brothers were in cub in scouts in that same church :) Did you ever have Judge McConnell as an Akela?

No, Jim Tait, later Dad's lawyer, was my Akela (I last saw him at Dad's funeral) but Dad knew McConnell and the judge once took the Scouts on a tour of the courthouse.
