      Camp Bomazeen (ME) to be sold

      Yes. I have been watching Bomazeen and Sand Hill. Both respective Councils appear determined to ignore donor wishes.

      When has BSA in recent history ever not allowed a pilot program go all out? This decision has been made by the pros, and I bet Oct. is the next time the volunteers meet to rubber stamp the decision.

      Is the real patrol method dead?

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      In 1989 when aged based patrols became the recommendation instead of Traditional, mixed aged patrols, that was the beginning of fall of the Patrol Method. In 2012, when they no longer allowed patrols to camp on their own without adult supervision,  that furthered the fall. In 2018 when they no longer allowed patrols to have any day activities, i.e. patrol meetings, hikes, camp shopping etc, unless 2 registered adults over the age of 21, that nailed the coffin shut IMHO.

      Is the real patrol method dead?

      By Eagledad · Posted

      Yep. I'm convinced that those at National haven't a clue how to develop young people into ethical and moral decision makers. Has DEI killed the Boy Scouts? Leadership development in scouting is passive form of learning. Good leaders make good role models for good leadership. The folks at National are reacting the same as the Girls Scouts national leaders when they lost the understanding of how to build character. Like the BSA, they started promising leadership as a virtue of the program. They believe that giving a scout a chance to lead makes them a leader.  Ironically, I believe that the GSUSA has a better chance of giving a patrol method program now because they don't have boys to dilute their program to make everyone happy. But, like BSA National, they don't know how to implement it. Barry

      Lawsuit settlement

      By Tron · Posted

      When California passed AB218 with it's special 2020-2022 window to unofficially target scouting we knew there were going to be more entities sued. Back in February and May this was being discussed but it's hitting the news cycle again. Schools are now being targeted.  https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/08/17/wave-of-sexual-assault-claims-is-latest-financial-crisis-for-public-schools-local-agencies/
