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

      By skeptic · Posted

      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.

      I will disagree; if it happens, no matter what the reason, it is a scouter issue.
