    • Will be on WB staff next time around.
    • That was easy to predict.  Merit badge mills. Hard to hold the line when just  replace you. Part of the reason  the eagle badge means less.
    • I was invited to teach a MB at an MBU. Told them point blank it would be a partial. Sent out email telling Scouts in the class what things they could do before the MBU to get the MB. I got a lot of complaints, and was never asked back. Irony was it was Indian Lore MB, and i had a full blood Lakota stationed at the air base "auditing" my class. I got a lot of praise from her for what we went over. Too bad she wasn't in the session with the smart aleck who asked "which is more violent, Rugby or Lacrosse" My response was "While rugby is a thug sport played by gentlemen, and rugby's unofficial motto is 'Give Blood, Play Rugby,' no one ever was enslaved or executed for losing a game of rugby whereas in some versions of lacrosse losers were enslaved or ritually sacrificed. So Lacrosse is the more violent of the two."  Shut him down the rest of the class.
    • Here is the irony, he is fully trained and is scheduled to go to WB in the near future.
    • Yeah. So much of the training misses how to get the Scouts to do things for themselves. I remember sitting in on a SM specific training and they went through how to do an annual calendar. They literally trained the SM to do it without the Scouts. The closest they came was the phrase "with scout input". Later, when I spoke with the person in charge they replied, "we have them in a group like the PLC so they can experience the process just as the Scouts will". I have heard this type of response in similar trainings. The end result is adult scouters thinking they do all the work "with scout input". The entire training framework from basic, IOLS, up to Woodbadge needs re-working.
