    • If memory serves, there is a 5 year period that professionals are ineligible after leaving the profession. Do not know if any restriction on non professional staff, ie. office staff, rangers, etc. I do know of one SB recipient who was nominated before being employed by the council, but by the time of the awards ceremony, they were the camp ranger.  
    • And they are watching people playing a competitive game where the best players have been selected based on their abilities.  Everyone does not get to play, because everyone is not equal in that endeavor.  How ironic...
    • I'm a "Life for Life" that got to 19 MBs.  The primary ones I missed were the Citz in Com/Nat/Wrld.   If you had your way, I'd probably be an Eagle today, but I still respectfully disagree with you.  When I review those requirements now as an adult - I disagree that I got the same experience in high school (which I did finish).  I did not: Citizenship in the Community: - learn the history of my community (req 1) - "Attend an in-person meeting of your city, town, or county council or school board, local court session; OR another state or local governmental meeting approved in advance by your counselor. " (req 2) - "volunteer at least eight hours".... at a" charitable organizations outside of Scouting" (req 7) - "Develop a public presentation (such as a video, slide show, speech, digital presentation, or photo exhibit) about important and unique aspects of your community" (req 8. ) ...and that's just the 1st of those badges. I'm happy to drop it and agree to disagree - but my experience has been different from yours, and I believe there's value in all 3 of the current Citz. MB's. Edit:  After I posted this on a re-read, I want to acknowledge you did say "Citizenship in Community provides value and is often missed in school".  So we're at least in agreement on that.  Thank you.
    • Question: Don't all three pictures show them not paying to go see the game? (stealing) While everyone paid for their seats.
    • Their nomination has to be based solely on what they have done as a volunteer. So, yes they can earn it. Just cant be because of what they have been paid to do.
