      The real reason the Boy Scouts disappeared

      By DuctTape · Posted

      I have watched a few of his videos. He claims he only puts out the facts and leaves the opinions to the viewers, but what I have seen is little facts or cherry picked ones to support his opinions. If a viewer does not know much about the topic, this is easily missed.

      From On Scouting; an interview with a new guy from the National Meeting

      By Jameson76 · Posted

      No, it is an attitude issue. Sadly I have seen too many pros over the years who could give a flip about the program and volunteers, they just want FOS dollars and membership increases. Fixed it for you

      The real reason the Boy Scouts disappeared

      By Jameson76 · Posted

      Well - the notation that Scouts did not change 1970 - 2000 is incorrect.  The Improved Scouting Program in 1973 took out a chunk of participants, then the pivot back, then the endless monkeying with the program is the start of the slide.  Also the BOY POWER MANPOWER program / effort (early 70's) wherein the plan was to have 33% of boys signed up led to massive membership scandals.  While the abuse trials starting in 2000 were a challenge, but the program was already down by half or more at that time

      NYLT Beads?

      By Longhaired_Mac · Posted

      My daughter was awarded these beads from NYLT, after she completed a project that improved her Troop. 12 knots for the 12 points of Law, a pair of white beads to show she attended the course, and a pair of green beads to show she completed the project part. In metal beads it gives the abbreviation for 3 Rivers NYLT in metal letter beads. 3 Rivers being 3 Council's bordering the Columbia river that run the program jointly I believe. She can earn a pair of silver beads each time she returns to staff NYLT. What I've seen from others that have completed NYLT is something similar but hanging off the epaulet. Obviously not a national award, but it means alot to the youth.

      A very interesting Youtube video from Ken LaCorte about the decline of the Boy Scouts. Not sure I agree with the claim of the title but much of the content is good.
