BSA - ineptitude enthroned over Scouting.

For decades, BSA has allowed sellers to advertise non-BSA outdoor gear as "boy scout" or "scout" items, diminishing the value of the brand by waiving the trademark as an adjective applied to outdoor equipment.

Your observation on "rules" seems absolutely correct. But the entertainment business that was and is MLB still is not, as BSA was once found to be by SCOTUS, a "religious" organization, even if some baseball players are called "gods" and are worshiped after a fashion. I do not watch PBS and, so, have no idea what "story" Ken Burns is telling about MLB. Being a baseball fan who lived in southern California for twenty-five years, I learned the Dodger's story decades ago - primarily from Vincent Edward "Vin" Skully . From 1973 - date, I have lived in NE Ohio and followed the Indians,

Major League Baseball had no rule against Black players. Rather, social pressure (racism) and an "understanding" (the "Gentlemen's Agreement") between owners of the franchised teams kept MLB Lilly White - the "Color line" for over fifty years. MLB was actually two corporations until 2000, the National League and the American League, although they shared a common executive, the Commissioner of Baseball, from 1920 froward. As WW II ended, Brooklyn General Manager Branch Rickey wanted to win and owned 25% of the Brooklyn Dodgers. If other teams were so foolish as to fail to compete for Bl

Were does it say you must drink orange juice? It's that last step - you must do it our way and like it - that makes me crazy. They want more than tolerance; they want control.

For decades, the Law was exactly or substantially this: "A Scout is obedient. A Scout follows the rules of his family, school,and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he seeks to have them changed in an orderly way." This has been changed recently on the BSA website to: "Follow the rules of your family, school, and pack. Obey the laws of your community and country." "Meine Ehre heißt Treue"

Views differ. - and change. I am nothing like an epidemiologist. If the Battelle fast sanitizer works and can be mass produced, mask shortages may be a thing of the past. https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/29/21198715/fda-approves-battelles-decontaminate-n95-face-masks-coronavirus The consensus may be incorrect, but it's out there: "COVID-19 can cause a number of symptoms that may appear several days after exposure. The most common symptoms are cough, fever and shortness of breath. The virus is primarily spread by respiratory droplets transmitted via close contact (within 6 feet) wit

But you be "people." 😁

WHO If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with suspected 2019-nCoV infection. Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing. Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. If you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly.

Went on line to check the menu at a local Mexican restaurant a few weeks ago, and now we get constant on-line ads for vacationing in Mexico, Artificial intelligence is pretty dim.

I looked for the menu at our local Mexican restaurant a few weeks ago (pre close-down), and now I get ads for vacations in Mexico 2-3 times a day. Poor software.

The ad for a double toilet paper roll holder does seem timely. Bernie does want a "small favor" from me - supporting his campaign.

Temporary insignia is just that -- items which were received, earned or given to a Scout, Venturer, Scouter or Venturing leader -- for participating in or service as part of a national, regional or local event or activity. It is always worn one at a time, may either be attached to or suspended from the right pocket, and the guidance is that each individual chooses which item goes there for the period he or she chooses."

They may be normal now. They are so normal generally online, that I successfully ignore them.

I changed nothing - did nothing - and everything is back to normal. 😃

And now the policy is it's not allowed if it's not allowed, but the language of prohibition was eliminated. Duh! Only "should" left - not mandatory.

You both can and may IIRC.
