Good God <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> what have I created <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Very funny you guys <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ok JimShaw I see your point about the boxes' outgrowing their contents every few folks. Like I said, I want folks to put in manageable items. If they have a tent or pack or other large object I would hope that they would pickup the phone and get in touch with a local Scout Leader to donate it locally <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Future boxes that leave Planet Earthling will be the Flat Rate USPS large box, with no paper contents, but Earthling Adventure CD still in it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> This idea was Bigfoot2's not mine and that is a great one! If it does'nt fit in the box wait for the next box...eventually you'll get rid of your item and get something you want. Think Geocache like Jason remarked in an earlier thread <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

If you want to add more than fits in the FR box you can place a 2nd box in the lineup to ship with the first, just don't fill it up <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now, if you are a Scout Leader of either sex of Humans you can remove objects to your troops delight within reason. Explain to them why this is being done; and have them understand the concept is to remove an item they will use and then replace with an item that is usable.

Hey, maybe Scout Leaders want to start their own boxes between Troops <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Now that might be helpful to the 'economically challenged' Troops, of which I once belonged <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />. It would give kids who can't afford, for one reason or another, the opportunity to get gear <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Something to consider.....

Again, I hope folks can understand that the box in their hands is being anxiously awaited by the rest of the folks on the card; and move it along after having it for a week or less when possible. Once a box returns to me, I will reship it with a totally new list/card with just the members avatar name/ town/State to contact to ship it to. How's that JimShaw <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> You PM the next person on the list for their addy info.

In the end I am shipping and reshipping all these boxes out of pocket, so no rocks please <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I think for even a $15 shipping charge there must be SOMETHING inside the box one would take out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> But once we switch over to the $8.95 box then it'll hopefully be more economical for some <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
