the program has taken its knocks from all over the world and unjustly so, the equality thinige comes to mind which it total rubbish. chris do it man, your boys will thank you down the road like mine did a couple years after when he went to the ukraine and lived out of holes ans shacks for 3 weeks, he learned in scouts to be sociable and work as a team but i also taught him privately and through scouts to make it on his own like i tired to do with the older guys who ran up through eagle scout, one became an army sniper in iraq, another a front line medic.
more than ever on this earth the scout program needs to be supported in every way, too many boys are being dumped with no dads, dads that don't and will not take responsiblity for their actions and be a father. over the years i have talked one on one with too many single mothers trying to give their son's a good outlook on life and maybe some hope for the undecided future.........i don;t want this to be political in any way but if some clown in the whitehouse-she or he gets elected you will find the program will probably be torn down and removed altogether, that is just my personal gut feeling
Just about every single Teammate I worked with or knew enough about was a Scout....
Emac44,I have only one story of the Boy Scouts. I joined the Scouts during 4th Grade at our church in Tucson, AZ (USA). I had a single Mom, who couldn't afford to buy me the Boy Scout Manual and the Scout Leader asked me to drop the Scouts. I did.Glad some of you enjoyed your time in the scouts. -Karl
Emac44, Thank you for the kind Words. I grew up, joined the army,got out, got married,worked full time, while going to college full time,got a BA,Masters and 21 hours of graduate credits of straight A's. I had four daughters,several were Brownnies or Girl Scouts. They enjoyed it. I never told them I was asked to drop the Scouts.I taught school for almost thirty years and was a Sunday School teacher. I too, hope I did some goodAgain, Thanks! -Karl
I think that ScoutMaster was wrong in asking you drop Scouts due to your mum not being abled to afford your Scout Manual, But that is my opinion.
