    ...this year one of the organization’s four “high adventure bases” — Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico — will begin hosting family scouting for families with girls or boys. Similar family programs are under development at the Summit Bechtel Family Reserve in West Virginia, says Al Lambert, an assistant chief scout executive for BSA, who leads outdoor programming efforts. “It’s an exciting time for us . and our efforts in supporting girls and families, as well as boys,” says Lambert. “We’re adapting to changing times.” Lambert says many young families want to experience ca

    From my experience, adults (leaders included) should be given prior notice regarding awards to them. If they say NO, then it is NO. They need not provide an explanation.

    Each year in the U.S., 25,000 children under 15 are admitted to emergency rooms for sledding injuries, according to the Mayo Clinic. But sledding deaths are rare. In Minnesota, a teen, Katelyn Hank, died in 2014 in a sledding accident in Le Sueur. Two years earlier, a 10-year-old girl from North Carolina died while sledding in Dassel. While there are no special helmets for sledding, kids can use ski, bicycle or skateboard helmets. That’s a message the Caquelins are now spreading, hoping it will help prevent another family from going through such heartbreak. While wearing a h

    Well Hooters did sponsor a Cub Scout Camp in Colorado, so I consider them friends of Scouting. http://abcnews.go.com/US/parents-outraged-learn-local-hooters-sponsored-cub-scout/story?id=40325654

    A brilliant young Girl Scout from San Diego sold more than 300 boxes of Tagalongs, Thin Mints and other munchie-friendly snacks after setting up her wares near a marijuana dispensary over the weekend. The 9-year-old girl’s father, who was not identified either, confirmed to San Diego’s KGTV that she ended up selling a total of 312 boxes over the course of about six hours, presumably to customers of the Urbn Leaf dispensary. The dispensary, too, advertised that the girl would be appearing outside the facility in a post shared to the shop’s Instagram page. http://www.foxnews.com/f

    @cstewart , I moved your topic from the Issues and Politics forum to here, the Advancement Resources forum.

    Seven year old Simon Caquelin of St. Paul (MN) had been at the Fred C. Andersen Boy Scout camp in Houlton, Wis., for one night when his family received the devastating news that there had been an accident. No one was there to see exactly what happened that night, but investigators for the most part were able to piece together a series of events--seven-year-old Simon had gone sledding, authorities believe, at some point veering off the hill and striking a tree head-on without a helmet. He spent seven days fighting for his life at Gillette Children's Hospital in St. Paul, and took his last

    Agreed, refugee and immigrant scouts are not a new face (membership) of the BSA.

    I hid another response which seemed more paranoia. @NJCubScouter , @Sentinel947 , @LeCastor

    That article ends What we owe all people, including women, is to listen to them and to respect them and to take them seriously. But we don’t owe anyone our unthinking belief. “Trust but verify” may not have the same ring as “believe all women.” But it’s a far better policy. Sounds fair.

    I hid the last post as the paranoia was getting a little ridiculous. Moderators will review. @NJCubScouter , @Sentinel947 , @LeCastor

    This Sunday Morning report also covered "Troop 1262, one of the fastest-growing troops in America. The Scouts are almost all Burmese refugees, their families resettled here from Thailand" as part of the "changing face" of the BSA. As Sunday Morning host Jane Pauley introduced the report, she mentioned that today was Scout Sunday. Nice touch.

    There is a lot of real anger and hysteria in America. I think trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient,... scouts and Scouters are part of the solution. My $0.02

    IMO, not girls so much but Family Scouting (at Boy Scout level) being bundled with girl membership is the problem. Family Scouting negatively impacts the Patrol and Leadership Methods. I don't worry about girls in a troop, I worry about families making the troop into another pack My $0.02
