Perhaps I did misunderstand your posting. I read it to mean that, in your
opinion, no woman is qualified to serve as a SM or SA, which aside from being
inconsistent with BSA policy, IMHO is simple b...s.... Hopefully, that is
plain enough to be understood by anyone. If you actually meant that women can
be qualified to serve as a SM or SA, please so state explicitly, and I will
apologize. Otherwise, I stand by my posting.
