      One of the simplest ways it was described to me as a uniformed adult leader: The scouts should know that you participate in elections. They shouldn't know who you are voting for.

      The school board found a way to get kids to read books ... announce that they are banned.   I would think BSA would be fine accepting controversial Eagle Scout projects.  One of our youth did a project for an organization that provides housing for primarily LGBTQ youth who were abused at home.   That said, there was a clear benefactor and and the project wasn't directed against any political group.  So, I could see a way for a project like this could work in the BSA, but not in the manner it was conducted as a Gold project.

      Very quick read. Very interesting book. A bit of nudity (but maybe a page or 2), but by no means the focus. If I could remember it to give it a synopsis would be almost how someone loosing grip with reality. Just interesting. It also covered how bad the bombing of Dresden was in WWII.

      Scouts set aside percentage of fundraiser to buy wheelchair

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      4/26/24 Rally 4 Robby Trivia Night –  an event to benefit the purchase of a special track-style wheelchair to help a local Boy Scout, Robby Fisher, access his backyard and basement, as well as make it easier to participate in Boy Scout activities and camps with his Special Needs Boy Scout Troop 724... According to a SpotFund set up for Fisher, the Boy Scout camp he attends has an accessible campsite, but the rest of the camp is not accessible. In his second year of attending the camp, he was able to use a ‘Trackchair’ that allowed him more freedom to earn merit badges and even go fishing at the camp’s lake. “Robby has a huge love for camping and hiking throughout the year and not just at Summer Camp,” the SpotFund stated. “He really needs his own Trackchair to be able to meet his goals for Eagle Scout.” The chair would also make it easier for Fisher to access his backyard and basement at his home. Currently, whenever there is storm, Fisher and his family have to drive to Des Peres to an underground parking garage for safety, since they cannot access the basement. more at source: https://callnewspapers.com/boy-scout-troop-hosts-trivia-night-to-support-troop-member/
