Wallace 10 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 As I read through all the posts everyday, a trend quickly develops for all of them. This unform thread is no different. The program breaks down when: The adults do not follow exactly what is in the handbook or in the G2SS. The adults do not attend training for their position. The adults attend training and then do not apply the training. The adults do not adequately educate parents as to the means, methods, costs and time requirements of the program. As an Eagle Scout ('75), Brotherhood Member of the OA, and Webelos Den Leader, I feel Robert Baden-Powell, Thomas Seaton, and my old Scoutmaster looking over my shoulder every time I put on the uniform of the BSA. It is like wearing a comfortable old coat. Maybe I am just paranoid. I had the misfortune/joy of being at Chuck E. Cheese this past weekend. While there, my sons pulled me to the restroom. By their frantic voices I assumed that something was wrong. In the vestibule, I saw the object of their excitement.... Framed on the wall was a fake Boy's Life poster of Chuck E. Cheese himself...wearing a tan uniform, neckerchief and campaign hat. The images of Scouting are powerful. Link to post Share on other sites
