Softening Scouting in the outdoors


Recommended Posts

Another contributing factor may be institutionalized softening. BSA may be softening scouting with the new WB course. As I understand it, the staff cooks for the participant for some of the course? C'mon. BSA took Cooking MB off the Eagle list, having the option of swimming MB and a couple of others, less outdoor activity.

 

Hmm, maybe a Gameboy MB, Playstation MB are in the future.

I've camped at several Washington state BSA properties in the summer. Summers are usually quite nice and rain is rarely the concern. Frigid lake waters and Hood Canal jellyfish are the major "de-motivators" for most of the campers.

 

We do have a tougher time promoting camping and backpacking in the other nine months of the year. My husband says I recite the Ten Essentials in my sleep most nights.
