Rock - maybe by the time he is old enough it will have changed, maybe it won't. I foresee that it will within the next 20 years. If we threw everything away that was 90% good and 10% bad, we would never have anything.


The local council has stated they would like to see it changed but national hasn't - yet.

For someone that has a kid in Scouts, I can tell you he will be a better young man because of it and the good, far, far, outweighs the bad.

I can back this up 100%, i was heavily involved form the time i was a tger cub in like 1st grade to when i became an eagle at 16, and even continued to the time I turned 18. for all the bad that is said about scouting, its hard to argue with teh good it does, and all that it teaches. the principles still stand strong today, and i keep the in my mind my whole life
