Another problem for Exploring in the BSA

James A. Wells (james@archaeologist.com)
Mon Jan 26 06:58:17 1998


Another problem I've noticed is with one of our biggest recruitment
pool -- in the traditional Troops that the BSA has. Most
Scoutmasters I know are afraid that if they mention Exploring and
advertise it to their Scouts, they will lose their older boys to a
Post and never see them again. Sometimes the truth hurts, though --
in reality, many of the boys they are afraid of losing leave anyway
and lose interest in Scouting, where if they had been in Exploring,
we might have kept them active. Any comments/suggestions on dealing
with this (I don't even know if we should -- it is the SM's
decision.)
