    • What requirements in the Cit Society MB did you have issue with, do you think were against the ideals and goals of Scouting America?  
    • Wow, somebody finally took notice and realized that Scouting had lost its way, and had the influence to make "National" realise how they have messed up the organization.   Secretary of War, Mr Hegseth said enough is enough and the whole idea of DEI is counterproductive to Scouting. I have been saying this for years and have voiced this opinion to every national screwup that I have had the occasion to meet.   Wow, get rid of that useless DEI Merit Badge, stop forcing the DEI boulderdash down people's throats and let the Boy Scouts be the Boy Scouts with the focus on the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.  Hurray for Secretary Hegseth and God Bless!
    • I am trying to fill some key district positions. Was close to getting home on one volunteer that would be outstanding….I know him well enough to know that he will not fill the position now. One thing after another….
    • We have to agree to disagree because I agree with little of your statement.  But this part confuses me the most -  empathy is not part of the Scout Oath or Scout law.  Putting ones self in the position of another to understand theater point of view is an examlpe of a mature and well reasoned leader and individual.  No where else is that in what is required in scouting.   Nor is tolerance in the Scout Oath or Law.  Tolerance for the fact not everyone see things the same way, based on their background, education, or opportunities.   Sorry, but the Pentagon has no business in what is required for Eagle scout.  none.  
    • The addition was two years ago almost; so what could is/was the problem?  Most of us dealt with it within weeks or a couple of months at best.  We did two or three group classes since, and yes, we got some interesting views from the youth, some that made the leaders sit up and think a bit harder.  Still, no relly needed if we encourage "Spirit".
