Sarah,
One must put oneself in the mind of the Scout. There is a vast difference
between being edged out by a more popular scout (a possible scenario under
the old rules), and the ouright rejection of his peers (the inescapable logic
created by the current rules). The former allows for counseling and
improvement of the Scout, whereas the latter severely limits that possibility.
