Old farts (often the fellas who've raised $$$ for scouting) write this stuff off on their tax returns.

Ex3, look on he bright side. Now that boy in your troop who thinks he's gay can now talk to you about it without fear of being booted out of scouting. There's an outside chance that you'll actually make...

Fred, clearly you never had anyone on the phone bring up the percieved sexual preferences of one of your youths as a reason for dismissal. This policy keeps bad days like that a little further off, and...

qwazse commented on Faith's reply to any sexual conduct by youth of Scouting age is contrary to the virtues of Scouting

in Issues & Politics

Venturers can start at age 14 (or whenever they complete 8th grade) and age out at 21. It's a shame that the program is still foreign to cub leaders and parents. I didn't know about it until son #1 (then...

There are some funds set aside for the youth member's travel. I forget how they are acquired, it's not exactly popcorn.

I know of two youth in my crew who darn well better be sexually active. They've been married for a year! Otherwise, I make it clear that virginity is to be held in high esteem. But, I do believe that...

in Girl Scouting

Yesterday, 10:25 AM
KDD, right you are. This is a problem. Tagging along with the troop is inappropriate. Sure, you can host a family camping weekend or two, but I think it has the potential to just remind a girl that...

Yesterday, 10:10 AM
I agree with Stosh. In fact my troop has as little interest in camporees as the crew does, so these big events where lots of adults are around to see how we operate when we're at the same place at the...

This breaks my heart on so many levels, I can't stand it. My wife and I endured a similar disheartening experience with our daughter. There were only a couple GS troop's who camped, and they were full!...

I routinely take it upon myself, in these kinds of events, to herd SPLs back to their troop. But do keep in mind that even without venturing, SPLs and senior scouts often will find chances to stand off...

A large portion of my community is college bound, and I have yet to have a youth or parent come to me enthused about getting a medal for all of this.

I've only met one youth who was in...

We've discussed this before. Many churches see VBS as a form of community service. Most of the families served are not members of the church. If you consider that religious education (of a personal...

One of my comments seems to have been misplaced. But, regarding your last question about SPL "management". It's okay to come clean with him and say you're just learning the position together...
