      The notice from National responding to NPR report of DD considering dumping Scouting

      By Tron · Posted

      I think your first sentence hits the nail on the head. I would add that before there was any relationship with the US military we at the ground level were already doing the duty.    To your second sentence: I know that my council is in life support mode and is mission inaffective; however, based on what I read online and the interactions I have with other scouters throughout the country I wonder how many (as a percentage of the total units) are not even trying to run the program as designed? I would even go so far as to say originalists that are trying to run things out of the original scoutmasters handbook fall into the program as designed bucket; and, in that situation, are the number of units trying to run the program as designed less than 50%? I horribly fear that to be the case.

      Reality is that we that perpetuate the real programs from our personal trenches locally need to scout on and take aid if we are fortunate from a local council.  Sadly, our local experience is far from positive, though they do pass along most of the National rehash of some older viable options and many, in my view, suspect ideas that tip toe on the edge of real Scouting.

      Meanwhile,  three Eagle Scouts from Troop 7, Long Island have been nominated for the service academies at Annapolis (Navy), West Point (Army), and Kings Point (Merchant Marine).  "It's great to see the progression from wide-eyed fifth grade kids entering the troop and now showing how productive young men they are to the community," says Troop 7 Scoutmaster Mike Stencel.

      Safeguarding Youth Test (Not a Survey)

      By skeptic · Posted

      The issue is one of humanity and the people who are warped in some way.  And those people, even if involved in the program, are still warped.  No manner of rules or guidelines will completely stop someone that is going to do abusive things.  That is why everyone needs to be aware and respond as required if something is out of line, no matter who it is.  Sadly, no barriers are completely foolproof, no matter what they are.
