      Scouting Pet Peeve?

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      Remember, at one point in the 1980-2000s, and possibly a little earlier, Explorers, and Venturers  until sometime after 2002, could wear their rank patch until they were 21. First two scout camps I worked at had a lot of folks wearing the rank patch on their green Exploring shirts. One of my coworkers with national supply loved modeling his Venturing uniform, when official pants and shorts came out in 2000/2001, because he could still wear the rank patch with it. He had the knot on his tan shirt.

      Scouting Pet Peeve?

      By BetterWithCheddar · Posted

      The only time I can see where this is borderline acceptable is when it's a "throwback" uniform (unaltered from their youth). My favorite local council camp holds a "retro night" during the summer camp season and it's fun to see all of the old gear come out at once.

      Summer camp will be fun next month, apparently the camp director wears a rank patch. I'm going to have to try really hard to not visibly roll my eyes. 🙄

      A shallow AI dive into some current views regarding the Law Suit and the evolved YP issues and the larger public issues and legal system.

      By FireStone · Posted

      I'm sure our stats are far better now, too. We're incredibly safe in the broader spectrum of youth organizations. Our training is often more substantial, and our systems work. Just at a basic level practicing 2-deep leadership and ensuring that a scout is never alone with an adult is a highly effective barrier. And that's just step 1. The Safeguarding Youth program goes well beyond that and equips us to spot risks, warning signs, and take preventative measures to not just stop abuse but to prevent it.  Scouting America will probably never get the credit it deserves for just how good these safeguards are. And I wish it did, not they deserve it, but because the kids deserve to have the public know just how good their Scouting program is.
