Dear L. Clossen,
(Tongue very firmly planted in cheek.)
According to many on this list, we can't/shouldn't discuss this situation on
SCOUTS-L. You see, for many it doesn't come up, ever, (or perhaps some just
prefer to stick thier heads in the sand and pretend that it doesn't happen. I
think that is called the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy of the Clinton military,
but as usual, I could be wrong. Imagine that! Clinton policy and BSA policy
coinciding! *L* )
SCOUTS-L is for scout skills only, or so I am told. In this case, perhaps you
should learn the skill of artful dodging and call the Unit Commissioner or
District Executive since the policy is from National and only the Counel Office
has the complete rules and regs in writing. Volunteers like me could never
really be trusted with this information. They of course will be delighted to
hear from you.
On the other hand, this just could be a clever way of baiting the issue for more
discussion of one of the three G's. But I would never accuse anyone of that!
Good luck.
YIS,
Bob Taschler

The troop is collectively earning the Public Speaking Merit Badge.
2 topics have been suggested for a 10 minute speech...
"How has God touched your life?"
"The girl I will marry will be...."
One Scout says that over the past month he has decided he no longer believes
in God.
Another askes, "Can I write about the man I will marry? "I think I am a
homosexual."
Besides running for my life, what are my obligations, knowing the rules and
regulations of the BSA?
Perplexed and stunned.....
