![]() Even if a boy doesn’t advance to that rank, he still learns a ton, has fun, gains leadership skills, helps his community, and makes valuable friendships. Nothing says that you have to become an Eagle scout to be a success. Honestly, though, you can be a casual scout and still have plenty of fun and learn a lot. A lot of that depends on your family, your kids, the sports and scouts schedules, and just how much juggling you can take. Add on top of that maintaining good grades, homework, studying for tests and trying to have some sort of free time-it’s really hard to manage multiple activities at a that level. Sports at the high school level demand near-constant practice, games, traveling, etc. So if you want to do an OK job at a bunch of things, you can, but if you want to seriously succeed you have to focus on just a few things. Something I didn’t realize when my kids were young is just how high the demands are on teenagers if they want to be seriously involved in an activity. I do know boys that have done it at the Boy Scout level, but it’s almost impossible to do both scouting and sports at a high level at the same time. Once they hit high school it gets harder to experiment. As the parent of a high school aged son I can tell you that elementary is the time to have your kids try out a lot of different things. And last year he was in band, drama, and scouts without an issue. My middle son did football for a year and scouting, and it was busy but manageable. ![]() In elementary school, yes, without a doubt. One of Chelsea’s questions to me was whether it’s possible to do scouting and sports at the same time. This is after cleaning up a local river during a clean-up day. My oldest Nick is the one in the hat, and my middle Nate is at the bottom with the glasses. They are Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class (where my son is now), Star (where he’ll be at the end of the month), Life, and finally the one everyone knows – Eagle Scout. Boy scouts has multiple ranks, and this time they’re based on achievement-not grade.But if you’re serious about your son learning the skills and becoming an Eagle scout, ,you need to find a troop structure that will support that. So if you just want your son hanging around with other boys, goofing off and having fun, there are some troops where that’s pretty much what they do. Again your experience will vary by troop.Every year there are probably between two and five different Eagle projects going on. ![]() Our troop practices a lot of scout-led activities, where the boys are the ones leading the other boys to practice leadership skills.In our case, our troop is very serious about hard work, camping, learning survival skills, etc. Sure the kids still have lots of fun, but there’s a lot of hard work involved. This is when, in my experience, scouting gets serious. Boys Scouts start in sixth grade, when the kids enter middle school.So if you are looking for something specific in scouting, make sure you join a pack that aligns with what you’re looking for (and get involved!) There are some with hugely active parents and some without anyone to take on a role. Some packs are very active in activities, camping, outdoors, etc. It also varies a HUGE amount by pack (the group of scouts). Kids activities are planned according to their attention spans and skill levels.Tigers = first grade Wolf=second grade Bear=third grade Webelos 1=fourth grade Webelos 2 = fifth grade.Obviously there’s a big difference between what a first grader and a fifth grader can do in terms of skill level and attention span, so they divide the kids into groups based on their age. This is the kind of scouting kids do in elementary school. Cub Scouts are what most parents are actually familiar with, and what many people might think of when they think of boy scouts.Let me break them down a bit with a quick overview of scouting. So if you’re not the parent of a scout, these terms might not make sense to you. Yes I carved that watermelon up there, if you were wondering.Ĭub Scouts? Boy Scouts? First Class? What Are You Talking About? This is not endorsed by the Boy Scouts and all opinions and observations are my own. My middle son is in Cub Scouts but will transition to Boy Scouts at the start of the next school year.īefore I start, this is simply the tale of one family’s journey in scouting. Right now he’s a First Class and is on track to earn his Star scout by the end of the year. I thought that was a great idea, given that my oldest is now a high school freshman and has been a scout since he was a Tiger in first grade. My good friend Chelsea over at Mama Fish Saves dropped me a line the other day to ask if I might be interested in writing a bit about my two boys experience in Boy Scouts.

![]() After the reboot, remove the Ethernet cable connect between the Airport and your computer, and (re)connect the Airport to the network/router.The Airport will go and make the settings you just configured, which will require it to reboot.Once all this is set up, hit the "Update" button.You'll add your WDS Remotes later, once we've plugged in the other Airport in the next section."Allow wireless clients" should be checked.Under the WDS Settings tab the Main WDS Airport's WDS Mode should be set to "WDS main.".This is the one used for joining the network from your computer. Finally, be sure to set your wireless network's password.It's all good unless you're in a super-crowded area, in which case trial and error is your friend. The Airport recommends WPA/WPA2 Personal, which I like too. I like clear nomenclature, so I went with "SystemsBoy-Wireless." Clever, huh? This is the name you'll use when joining the wireless network from your computer, so choose wisely and for the ages. Here you'll also want to give the network a name.It's also important to check the "Allow this network to be extended" checkbox.Under the Wireless tab, set the Wireless Mode to "Participate in a WDS Network." This is the key, really, to the whole shebang.As always, make the password memorable and secure. I recommend naming it something like "Airport-BS-Main" for easy identification. ![]() The name will be the name of the base station itself, and the password is the one used to log in to and change the unit's settings.Begin in the Base Station tab by setting the name and password of the unit. Double-click the unit to open its configuration window.You should see the Main at the very least. This is not absolutely necessary, but it will help to mitigate any problems you might have as you go making changes, since you won't be dependent on a wireless connection. The easiest (and Apple-recommended) way to do all this is with a direct, wired connection, so grab yourself an Ethernet cable and connect your computer to the Airport that you want to be the Main unit. ![]() It's important to remember, as you continue with this process, that each new wireless node must be added to the main node in order for it to be seen by the WDS network. You'll connect the "Remote" Airports to the Main wirelessly, allowing them to extend the network. It's the one that's connected to your cable modem, or your router, with an Ethernet cable. The "Main" WDS Airport is the unit that will host the wireless network. Let's take a look at the process, which for me anyway, was fraught with difficulties that this article will hopefully help me (and you) avoid in the future. It turns out that, in order to extend an wireless network across multiple Airports, you must set up what is known as a WDS network. I had initially believed - perhaps naively - that the process would essentially be a matter of joining the new Airport to the existing network the same way you'd add a new computer. Doing so was fairly tricky and not anything like I'd expected. I'll leave the detailed instructions below for anyone who's interested.Ī while back I got a second Airport Express in the hopes of using it to extend my existing wireless network. So, definitely the thing to try first before you go into the twelve page set of instructions below. I haven't tried using this myself, but it does look exceedingly easy. A few people have written in to tell me that they've had great success using the configuration "wizard" available in the Airport Express Utility. It looks like there's actually a better way to extend an Airport network than the one I've outlined in this article. ![]() Get up to six attempts on a phlebotomy practice test (based on actual exam).

It is indigenous to North America and can be found throughout the continent. The Red Maple is an important ornamental tree due to its shape and stunning foliage colors. It is used in the production of furniture, and woodenware, and as fuel. The Red Maple’s wood is heavy, close-grained, weak, and light brown. The tree favors damp soils but can also be found in dry areas combined with other trees. They are crimson, reddish-brown, or golden when ripe and germinate instantly. On long, drooping stems, the Red Maple produces samaras measuring 1/2 to 1 inch in length. Winter buds are tiny, scarlet, and spherical. When mature, the upper surface is bright green, while the under surface is whitish and partly covered with pale down. Red Maple leaves are opposite, 2 to 5 inches long, with 3 to 5 lobes and double-toothed margins. ![]() ![]() Shallow fissures near the surface of the old bark separate it into flat, scaly ridges, giving the tree a shaggy appearance.

It is utilized in the production of flooring, furniture, and maple syrup. Commercially, the tree is known as hard or rock maple. It has light brown wood that is durable, hefty, sturdy and close-grained. The Sugar Maple can be found on superior soils throughout the state. These samaras serve as wings for the seeds, allowing them to spread in the wind. The Sugar Maple produces a pair of fused samaras about 1 inch long in the fall. ![]() The leaves turn gorgeous colors of yellow, orange, and red in the autumn, making it one of the most beautiful trees in the forest. The leaves are dark green on top and paler green on the bottom. Sugar Maple leaves are opposite, 3 to 5 inches long, and frequently five-lobed. The twigs are reddish-brown and smooth, with sharp-pointed winter buds. The bark of elder trees is dark to virtually black, with lengthy, uneven plates or scales that frequently loosen on the edges. The bark of young trees is light gray to brown and somewhat smooth. The tree has a large, spherical crown with a symmetrical shape. It is a majestic tree that can reach a height of 100 feet and a diameter of 2 to 3 feet.
![]() So from 0 degrees you take (x, y) and make them negative (-x, -y) and then you've made a 180 degree rotation. When you rotate by 180 degrees, you take your original x and y, and make them negative. ![]() If you have a point on (2, 1) and rotate it by 180 degrees, it will end up at (-2, -1) We do the same thing, except X becomes a negative instead of Y. ![]() If you understand everything so far, then rotating by -90 degrees should be no issue for you. What are the types of rotation You can see the rotation in two ways ie., clockwise or counterclockwise. Our point is as (-2, -1) so when we rotate it 90 degrees, it will be at (1, -2)Īnother 90 degrees will bring us back where we started. Is a 90 Degree rotation clockwise or counterclockwise Considering that the rotation is 90 Degree, you should rotate the point in a clockwise direction. What about 90 degrees again? Same thing! But remember that a negative and a negative gives a positive so when we swap X and Y, and make Y negative, Y actually becomes positive. Our point is at (-1, 2) so when we rotate it 90 degrees, it will be at (-2, -1) What if we rotate another 90 degrees? Same thing. So from 0 degrees you take (x, y), swap them, and make y negative (-y, x) and then you have made a 90 degree rotation. So the rule that we have to apply here is (x, y) -> (y, -x) Step 2 : Based on the rule given in step 1, we have to find the vertices of the rotated figure. When you rotate by 90 degrees, you take your original X and Y, swap them, and make Y negative. Solution : Step 1 : Here, the figure is rotated 90° clockwise. If you have a point on (2, 1) and rotate it by 90 degrees, it will end up at (-1, 2) In case the algebraic method can help you: ![]() ![]() If you have the budget to spend, consider looking further afield for a service that will effectively meet your needs and not leave you wanting.
