We are now well into the follow up to the disaster of the attacks on Scouting that resulted in so many damaged people and groups, but hopefully on the new direction that will rebuild it. One of the issues that constantly seemed, to me anyway, was that somehow BSA was expected to be above society. And while the tenets might so suggest, the reality was and is that it is Part of society, and always has been. The mistakes and challenges faced were foisted on it by others in society, many who were ignored or looked past for various reasons, even as BSA was attacked. But now, the other youth serving groups are beginning to take the place on the whipping wall of outrage and over hyped expectations of too often out of perspective attacks. Today, in our local paper, a USA article by Kim Hjetmgaard (sp) brings up the idea that the public schools in So Cal are being negatively affected by the most recent vulture lawyer attacks, on them. The opinion ironically suggests that the current students are being negatively affected by "stuff" from the past. Sound familiar? Sadly, while it is true, as it was with BSA, the oun restrained legal attacks allowed in our system will continue to find new targets, many that will drag out old and emotional issues for people. Will this too lead to real change? Time will tell. -
Sydney Ireland, now a graduate of Amyhurst, writes an interesting and challenging perspective of Scouting America going forward. This is surely likely to tweak some noses, and while it may be a little too soon, or maybe not, it seems to me important for this period in our evolution as leader in citizenship and world awareness. Take a look, and please remember we are all in theory still Scouters and live by the tenets. https://www.advocate.com/voices/scouting-america

Maybe it was a local council conservation award, e.g., Narragansett Council - Scouting America’s Conservation Award also referred to as the John Bradley Conservation Award. "Narragansett Council – Scouting America’s Conservation Award was created in honor of John Bradley, an influential scouting leader who served for 40 years as Troop 2 East Greenwich Assistant Scoutmaster before he died in 2022."
