skeptic 992 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 It appears that Greenbar Bill has been reinstated in the hierarchy; they may actually listen sometimes? http://scoutingmagazine.org/2015/06/get-to-know-the-bsas-founding-fathers/ Link to post Share on other sites

qwazse 4342 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So ... it would be interesting (and challenging) to add another article on scouting's innovators (or as some here might say, heretics) since Hillcourt ... at least try to bring it to the close of the century. From folks who influenced the BSA since 1980, whose bios would you want everyone to see? Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle94-A1 2687 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Pee Wee Harris? All joking aside, I do not think anyone has made the impact that Green Bar Bill has made since 1980. Afterall, he came out of retirement to save the BSA. The closest I could get, and this may be because I'm biased towards them, but how about the guys who created the OA Trail Crew program at Philmont, which inspired the other HA bases to have OA programs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Pee Wee Harris isn't such a stretch, along with Westy Martin, Mark Gilmore, Tom Slade, Roy Blakeley, Skinny McCord, and Wigwag Wiegan all comprise the literary achievement of a Percy Keese Fitzhugh who wrote some great stories about how scouting played out in the early scouting movement. It would be interesting to know about Percy Keese Fitzhugh and get an insight into the 25 year literary career of this man. After all his Pee Wee Harris legacy is still there today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Keese_Fitzhugh I'm thinking the dork factor was introduced when the Boy Scout was exemplified by a donkey named Pedro. That was a marketing disaster. Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1615 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ya think Ethan will help? http://www.scouting.org/filestore/program_update/pdf/Ethan.pdf And talk about disability... The kids asthma must really bother him, with no nostrils.... And let us bewail the passing of the Jungle Book from Cubbing.... Rest in peace, Rudyard.... Link to post Share on other sites
