All Neighbors in Lutherville, MD
Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

Were you a boy scout? Or a girl scout when you were a kid? I was a girl scout and loved it, I loved the activities, the games, the crafts, the trips, the camping trips and all the cool stuff I learned. 
Now that school is back in session so is boy scouts. From age 6 through 10 boys participate in cub scouts. Starting the journey as a Tiger, through Wolves, then Bears and into Webelos before bridging over to boy scouts. If your child attends Lutherville Laboratory School you will see Andy Engel at the back to school night. Andy was our cub master when my son, Liam, was in cub scouts. Liam had a blast participating in the Raingutter Regata, the Rocket Derby and Pinewood Derby, carolling, camping and all the day trips they did. 
Last year Liam bridged over to boy scouts and is now in Boy Scout Troop 340. Troop 340 meets on Friday evenings at 7:30 at St. John's Methodist Church at 216 W. Seminary Ave., in Lutherville. The meetings generally last until 9:00 pm. If you have a son aged 11 or older this might be a great opportunity for him to get involved in a great organization, learn some great skills and participate in some great camping or hiking trips. This year the group has a bike ride on the NCR trail planned along with a Ski trip, hiking on the Appalachian 
Trail, kayaking and summer camp at Broad Creek. Troop 340 has a large number of Eagle Scouts that still partipate with the troop and attend the trips and camping expeditions. If you have a son that might be interested in joining Troop 340 you should call Jim Barton 443-573-2542 for more information. The court of honor is on September 12, at which time the boys will earn their rank advancements and be awarded the merit badges they have earned thus far. The boys are developing life long friendships with other boys who share common interests and common opportunities while they have a great time.
