    • Nope Citizenship was taught pretty well for decades primarily in the outdoors
    • You can do this through means other than sitting and discussing or visiting web pages.  The issue is that as constructed, the program continues to add Eagle required MBs that are classroom style, including Citizenship in the Society.   Just look at UK scouts, many of their requirements begin with take part in....  Compare to BSA citizenship badges. I've been scoutmaster for over 15 Eagle Scouts, my dad is Eagle, I'm and Eagle Scout, my son is an Eagle Scout.  Overall, I believe in the program but we need more focus on aspects of the program that make unique and less on being school 2.0  
    • Sounds like you're saying they need to change the stated Mission and Vision of the org: "Scouting America will prepare every eligible youth in America **to become a responsible, participating citizen** and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Law." https://www.scouting.org/legal/mission It's fine if you think that, but understand Citizenship is a CORE part of the Vision, so it's a MAJOR suggested change. 
    • I think this is one of the problems with scouts. Adults are more oriented towards what kids "should" know and "should" do vs. what they want to do, or they are  stuck on nostalgia for the way things used to be for them -- how they experienced it, how they led it.  As the outdoors program continues to wane in importance and variety, adults are boring youth out of the organization.
