- How many changes of clothes for six days on the trail?
  
  By DuctTape · Posted 9 hours ago
  
  No spare clothes for the day. I have my hiking clothes, and my sleeping clothes. I do bring an extra pair of socks. Camp shoes are not necessary, but some people like them.

  See, that is OF COURSE, the real root of membership issues and the decline. Not costs, not program, not movement to a family program, not the literal 1 to 1 adult to youth to be registered to participate; it's timing of renewals. Glad we have that cleared up
- Okay; not sure we have solid thinking here, though it appears maybe on World Level there may be some success?

  Insert a "jump the shark" meme, this has the organization certainly heading in a new direction Originally we only had Scouts, then Cubs came 20 years later, which was for 8-10 years olds. In the 60's when I was in Cubs we did basic things but longed to be Scouts to able to do all the cool stuff. Now it is veering heavily to a Family Program, the original idea to help youth develop and grow into independent individuals equipped to take on the real world and make decisions on their own seems have (or is) being cast aside. SA (sorry I know we're not supposed to abbreviate the name of the organization that lives on abbreviations) is definitely moving heavily to family, moving away from the Scout led program and conceding that the program will be basically (now) 4 year olds to maybe 7th graders
