Didn't I already mention....not in a million years...

I'd pull my kids out of scouts in a second if their program steered away from scoutcraft and outdoor skills and into areas where my kids would be in any proximity to vagrant drug users and alchoholics. I am a veteran, who served multiple tours. In Vietnam, only 1 out of 10 soldiers served in a combat arms specialty, those being infantry, armor, cavalry, artillery, aviation....the killers. The other 90% were combat support and combat service support, medical, finance, communications, police, engineers, ordinance, cooks, supply, and admin. The Navy and Air Force had even fewer numbers

Your CO could have fired the CM and replaced him. But instead tossed the entire pack. Nice. Why on earth would a troop, boy scouts or girl scouts subject their kids to an environment such as the one basement mentions? Again, I wouldn't allow it in a million years, that is, the kids in my charge being subject to that environment and calling it Scouting. Kids should be out starting campfires with flint and steel, catching, cleaning, and eating a trout, making rope bridges and towers, shooting arrows, canoeing, and all that good stuff. They will see the seedy side of life soon eno

I am also a father of a Cadet. Not in a million years do I want my precious little baby in any proximaty to an inner city men's only homeless shelter. Just ain't happening. Never. We do crafts and learn skills, junior social worker isn't one of them.

What is wrong with traveling in convoy?

"I find your term for the Japanese to be totally outdated and derogatory. I hope you don't share that language with your Scouts." Need a tissue?

What do you consider the benefits to the Chartered Organization that a scouting unit brings? Thanks!
