I keep forgetting to look when I am at home, but the most recent _Scouting_
magazine has an ad that seems to have gotten by someone's close scruitny.
In the four or so page spread from Chrysler about their minivan and how
great it is for Scouting families, they show a den of Webelos Scouts leaping
around the van. What struck me was the one Scout who was wearing a
"Progress Toward Rank" badge on his pocket (which I thought was a no-no for
Webelos--correct me if I am wrong). I would think that of all places, there
would be a lot of effort to get things right in that magazine.
