  1. Thank you very much YAK_Herder for setting these misinformed scouters straight. I myself am a LDS Leader and through my travels (with the Military and as a Government Employee)have seen alot of different views on LDS units. Some "right on the money", some quite bizzar. Here are my personal experiences. 1. As a 1st Year Scout leader (LDS Blazer Leader) in the Salt Lake Valley we actively recruited and had almost 50% non-LDS membership. 2. LDS units DO NOT have sole license on MB factories. I have seen my share of "Counterfit" MBs being signed by Non-LDS MB "Pow-wows". 3. No one is "o

  4. This whole topic realy quite simple. Drop the memberships of those who are against following the accepted policy. Then appoint new leaders. We (BSA) are a private organization, if those people disagree with policy and there points of concern have been addressed (maybe not to their liking) they have two choices. #1 Follow National Policy, or #2 Leave the BSA and start their own organization. Knowing that a large majority of Chartering organizations are Conservitive Churches. I can not believe that these Councils have a majority of members supporting these actions. Considering that the Un
  5. I am a Brotherhood member of the OA. Though until reciently not active until my son was taped out this year. At the ordeal, I noticed that there were different sashes.

And some had the legend on the back of the sash. I have called, wrote, and asked everyone from local to national. But NO ONE has given me a good answer. The local lodge has said that they were for ceremony. Some have said t
  6. I'm the Cubmaster and the only OA member. My son just went through his ordeal and is one of two members in the troop. The lodge does "Cross over" and "Arrow of Light" ceremonies. Using these opertunities I try to promote the OA to the pack and the parents. The last election (the first in over 4 years)in which 2 boys were elected, is a good start. I have been trying to find adults who were OA members as scouts and to get them into adult leadership roles. So far just one as ASM. But its a start.
  7. I wear my eagle knot as well as my religious knot and Arrow of Light. Since my budget will not allow more, I only have one shirt. I attended a Eagle court of honor and wore my Eagle medal pinned under the knot. Someone told me that I could not do that, it either one or the other. Since no sane person would wear a medal everyday, the knot is the reasonable choice. However, for a special time like that of a Eagle Court of Honor it seams proper to wear the medal. What does not seam reasonable is to take the knot off to wear the medal or not to wear the knot at all for those few times when
