      Girl Scout Gold recipient censored by local school board for her Gold Award project.

      By DannyG · Posted

      I believe scouting teaches youth to be involved and engaged. BSA has Eagle-required merit badges that teach civic engagement: Citizenship in the Community, Nation, World, and Society. Certainly BSA teaches this in a way to find common-ground with others: If you are out in the wilderness with a group you need to work together and solve problems as a group. We are stronger when we work together. If you take a stand as an individual, what are the repercussions to the group? There has to be a good reason and you should have allies who support you. Therefore, I believe the Gold Award project doesn't sound eligible as an Eagle project because it is the work of an individual scout, rather than as a team. Where's the leadership? It's not about politics, as I do not believe the Girl Scout did acted in a political manner. The school board and Board of Supervisors did.  The scout created a program to help her community.

      Roger Krone new BSA President and CEO succeeds Roger Mosby

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      So far in 2024, there has been no news regarding our federal Charter-required Report to the Nation though I heard of some Reports to State which BSA National encourages. No word yet of any live feed (e.g. youtube) of any parts of NAM. Let's go digital! I prefer, unfiltered direct conversation with Mr. Krone and Mr. Pounder, preferably with an opportunity to send in our questions and feedback. Please no more filtered,  condescending after event reports - 5 Things You Need to Know About ... My $0.01,

      In another thread, someone criticized me for being okay with scouters and other adults speaking their mind to my youth. That got translated into allowing “hostile” acts — even though the topic was clearly discussing speech that did not involve any physical threat. Some repliesasserted that its somehow wise to shield a kid from someone who could teach a him/her how to forestall death, but has voiced problems with their membership. Youth have a word for situational ethics: duplicity.
