Last night was our district banquet. Our Master of Ceremonies is a member
of the BSA National Committee and told us of some interesting changes in
store for 1999.
These are as they were told to the assembled crowd.
First, there is to be a new Scout handbook. There will also be a new
Scoutmaster's Handbook, published in looseleaf form.
In the next few weeks, the required badges for Eagle are to be reevaluated.
According to him, expect changes - some dropped, some added. What other
repercussions this is to have, I know not.
We were also told the Tenderfoot through First Class requirements are to be
changed.
Does anyone know anything about this? Usually we here on Scouts-l are
scooped months before an announcement like this is made. What's up? Or is
our local National Committee member spreading rumors?
