Camp is a blast.  They want you to go so that you can have a fun, positive experience this summer.  Of course they love you and who knows...you may wind up with a little brother or sister in the bargain.  Parents also need time away ;)

~~a safe and clean environment for them to play in, adiquate napping places, a budget, plans on what the parents are required to supply and what you will supply, and depending on how many children, and what ages you plan on taking in, you may need an assistant or more.  an emergency supply of diapers for those parents who forget to bring enough for their babies... a variety supply of extra clothes for emergency situations, depending on the age of the children, an activity plan, suitable and age appropriate music, videos, books and toys that can be easily cleaned, (especially when it is cold and flu season) if you are going to have outdoor activities it would be a good idea to have a fenced in yard, a written contract between you and the parents stating what you will supply and what they will supply, including your rates in the contract, and also including charges if you have to supply the emergency diapers (to cover your costs)... plan nutritious snacks, take it easy on the sugar content and salt content. -- another form you might consider is a medical concent form with the child's dr's name and phone number on it, with permission in an emergency situation to have the child transported to the nearest hospital, and also a list of each child's medical needs, meds, allergies, etc...~~

Kids are testing the parents limitations and some parents let them go to far. Kids need to be disciplined and set straight. Parents should have every right to set them straight at any time any where. So set guide lines and follow through with everything you tell kids and they will learn who's boss.

No, the GC does not offer tents at the campsites.  You can either go without a tent altogether, just sleep on the ground.  There really isn't anything to worry about except maybe mosquitoes, and you can just apply DEET before you go to sleep.\n\nAs far as carrying a tent, I just place mine on top of my pack and strap it down with two straps to the pack.  There's no need to place it inside the pack.

1. A good place to begin is to document the barriers to parent involvement created by such factors as family structures (dual career, single parent, teenage parent) and family work schedules (full-time, job sharing, flex-time). This can be accomplished through parent-teacher conferences, telephone calls, or a short questionnaire.\n\n2. Documentation of the barriers to parent participation can be used to develop policies that are likely to work with the parent community. For example, more options may be needed as to when parent-teacher conferences are held (before, during, and after school), how they are held (face-to-face, by telephone, by computer, in small groups), or where they are held (at the school, in the home, at a neighborhood center, or at the parent's place of employment).\n\nCreate a comfortable conference environment in which parents feel free to share information, ask questions, and make recommendations. Allowing parents to begin the conference by asking their own questions and expressing their own concerns is one way to convey respect for their input. Here are some other ways to share responsibility with parents during the conference:\n\nSchedule an adequate amount of time for the conference so that the parent does not feel rushed.\n\nIf the conference is held at the school, point out to the parent the projects that involved his or her child.\n\nBegin and end the conference by noting something positive about the child. \n\nAsk open-ended questions ("How do you help your child with her shyness?") instead of "yes" or "no" questions ("Do you help your child with her shyness?"). \n\nCommunicate in a way that matches, yet shows respect for, the parent's background. Be careful not to make assumptions about a parent's level of knowledge or understanding, and avoid talking down to parents.\n\nSend nonverbal messages of respect and interest. Sit facing the parent and maintain good eye-contact. Put aside paperwork and postpone taking notes until after the conference has ended.\n\nInstead of offering advice, ask the parent to share feelings and suggestions for addressing an issue. Then offer your own input as a basis for negotiation. \n\nMore information Here:\n\nhttp://www.kidsource.com/kidsource/content/parent.participation.html\n\nThis site has some really terrific ideas also:\n\nhttp://www.teachervision.fen.com/parent-teacher-conferences/teaching-methods/3854.html

Be Prepared.\nThat's the motto of the Boy Scouts. \n\n"Be prepared for what?" someone once asked Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, \n\n"Why, for any old thing." said Baden-Powell. \n\nThe training you receive in your troop will help you  live up to the Scout motto. When someone has an accident, you are prepared because of your first aid instruction. Because of lifesaving practice, you might be able to save a nonswimmer who has fallen into deep water.\n\nBut Baden-Powell wasn't thinking just of being ready for emergencies. His idea was that all Scouts should prepare themselves to become productive citizens and to give happiness to other people. He wanted each Scout to be ready in mind and body for any struggles, and to meet with a strong heart whatever challenges might lie ahead.\n\nBe prepared for life - to live happily and without regret, knowing that you have done your best. That's what the Scout motto means.

You won't find it on a little league website.   The rules are listed in the "official regulations and Playing Rules handbook.     Tourneyment rules are in the back of the book.     In general only team managers have the official book.     LL probably doesn't want to have parents challenging umpires quoting the rulebook.\nAs a team manager, I agree that parents don't need the book.   No one wants people hollering out .. "what about rule 9.03 section b".       If you have a specific question, just ask any manager and they should try to help unless you are just being a pain in the butt.\n\nI am in NY so I don't know about KY rules.     Sometimes there are different rules in effect locally.    For example we offer Williamsport and local allstar tourneyments.    The rules may be different on pitching or player substitution depending upon the tourneyment.  \n\nYou can find an 'unofficial' rulesbook at \nhttp://www.theiowan.com/baseball/Diablos/MiscAndOther/Little%20League%20Baseball%20Rules.htm \n\nIs there a specific rule you need?

Scouting is about learning LIFELONG skills.\n\nWhile each scout troop has to follow the same BSA program, it is the variations of the unit leaders and committee that create the flavor of the unit. The best way is to visit each troop in the area and ask questions. Explain to the leaders that you are trying to find troop that best fits your expectations they will by human nature only tell you the positives.\n\nI was a scoutmaster for 7 years. I was also a Unit commossioner so I was able to see the intricate ways in which the personality of each troop had it's own strengths and weaknesses.\n\nSome troops are "Eagle factories". They pump out a higher than average amount of Eagle Scouts. The national average is 2% that join eventually make Eagle Scout. If it is a small troop of 15 boys, be cautious if each year they have 4 Eagle Scouts. I say cautious because their program may be such that it is geared to create Eagles but not geared to the overall National well-rounded program; but most likely is.\n\nA good indication of a troop that teaches leadership and values may be just the fact that the troop leadership still retains former scouts as new young leaders after they turn 18 and are out of the youth portion of the program. A unit with only middle aged dads/moms may indicate that once a kid outgrows the troop then so will the family. Plus young leaders are an energetic asset to a unit, (no sore backs)\n\nAnother key thing to see is if the age of the scouts seems to spread evenly for all ages. Nothing is more diheartening than a troop with all 17 year olds, with a new scout not relating to anyone, and the fact that within a year, all the senior scouts will be gone off to college and leave a huge void in the troop partols beciuse there are no 14 year-olds fill the void of youth leadership.\n\nRemember that parental involvement in boy scouts is supposed to be more hands-off than in cubscouts. If the adults seem to be doing all the work in a troop, the scouts may be missing their opportunity to learn leadership. (watch for this in an "Eagle factory" troop. The joke is that "Dad earned his 3rd Eagle Scout badge with this son".)

The parent needs to decide when it is comfortable for them.  Some parent can hire a sitter to care fo a child even before birth.  Others may feel best to wait until the child is 5 or more so the child can tell the parent if something inappropriate occur.  But I think the bottom line is the parent needs to do what is in that parents heart and feels to be right.

You know, I'm a firm believer that it takes a village to raise a child. If she's in your home, she MUST abide by YOUR RULES. My whole family understands that about me because I don't waiver from the rules in my house. If her mom doesn't like it, oh well. It's not unreasonable to ask a child to behave while in your home. Best of luck!\n\nMandy

I generally didn't camp right next to the water when my children where young.  For example a 4 year old is old enough and Mobile enough to unzip a tent and go out early in the morning and get to close to the water while your still asleep.  So if you are at a camp ground actually pick a site where the water is not directly in site and you have to walk a ways to get to it.\n\nIf you are going to be right next to the water be very, very aware at all times where the child is. It's amazingly easy to loose track for just a few minutes while getting dinner out of the cooler, or grabbing something from the Tent or RV.\n\nBeyond that what you need can greatly depend on what kind of camping and how long.  Our family does primitive/tent camping.  And we have learn, especial with young children along to pack the following (Started camping with them since first born was 3 month old, so far nothing really bad has even come close to happening.):\n\nExtra blankets, it seems you almost never can have to many of these.\n\nActually don't have to buy child expensive air mate. But a cheap swimming air mat will support a child very well and dry faster if it gets wet, like rain leaking in tent or people trialling water into tent.  Even if you don't use any kind of mate, it's good for the child because their internal thermostat is not as well developed as an adult.  So laying on the cold ground can rob them of body heat very easy.  And they can actually get hypothermia.  An air mate  or yoga or camping Mat help prevent this.\nAlso if the night temps cools make sure the child wears some form of shoe while walking about.  I have actually seen full grown adults develop hypothermia while camping because the nights cooled down so much and they where walking around long term bare foot. (Really an ambulance came and took them away.)  It's not going to happen on a quick run to the bathroom but if their up making smores (Best treat ever Chocolate, gramcracker, and toasted marshmellow) with the adults or something it could plus good shoes are always a good idea.\n\n!!!!!! extra socks!!!!! its' another thing you can't have to many of.  In fact I have at least one pair of wool socks for each person camping with us.  Wool will keep you warm even if it gets wet (thremo's socks from artifial fibers don't always).  But because people can be sinitive to wool I'd put on 1 thin sock and then the wool over that. If the nights is on the colder side it's a good idea to have the child sleep in the sock combo.  though don't over bundle the rest of the body.  You don't want them to sweat in their sleep. Generally is you can keep the Head and feet warm lighter cloths are all you need for the rest of the body in a sleeping bag.\n\nI usually go to the dollar store before any camping trip and buy little cheap coloring books, games and toys for the kid to play with.  Kites and bubble always go over well.  Kit's are especially a favorite on the beach even with adults. \n\nThink in terms of rain.  Yeah when it's nice and sunny there is plenty you can do with a child but nothing is worse then getting stuck in a tent on a rainy day with nothing for a small child to do.\n\nFinger and snack foods. Actually fresh vegs like carrots, apples and the like work better then alot of prepacked junk food.  They don't crush, or get stale or soggy and you have less trash to worry about.  My kids where often running here and there and didn't really want to sit around alot, so giving them a carrot stick they could take with them to do what ever worked well.\n\nAlso we tend to cook a good breakfast and a good dinner but made lunch light.  Actually found sliced meat and cheese worked great.  lay out meat put on cheese and rolled it up.  No plates, no silverware or other trash and quick prep time.  Didn't even bother with bread (again smashes and soggy and takes up alot of packing space.) plus the kid would only eat half of the

I go tent camping every year with my wife and 2 kids every summer.  In Schuylkill county, in the foothills of the Poconos.\n\nThere are websites with use full lists.\n\nBut it depends a lot on where you going, and what kind of camping you doing.\n\nI don't take any food except things around the house that need to be eaten.  I live in Philly, and everything is much cheaper in the Poconos.  So I take a bunch of coolers that fit inside of each other to save space, and have frozen gallons of water to start.\nAnd I buy everything I need there.  \n\nI prefer old clothes.  Take cooking utensils, a tarp and rope for rain, flashlights for everyone, lantern, cards, radio, ax and good knife.  \n \nBuy a local newspaper and hit a local block party.

Contrary to what most people think, most states do not have laws addressing minimum ages to babysit or minimum ages that children can be left alone.  Unless someone can cite a specific Illinois law, chances are the answers you get here are of little value.  While 15 or 16 might sound like logical numbers, that doesn't mean the answers are correct on the law.\n\nI don't know Illinois law nor am I going to make up some number for you.
