      Time to call it a night.

      By qwazse · Posted

      @MattR, thanks for all of your valuable contributions. My two grandsons (who I affectionately name Thing 1 and Thing 2) are incredibly entertaining. They suck up time in a very good way. On the other hand, this class of troop parents are some of the most enjoyable, our teens are appreciative, and it’s fun to pass on skills. So I have stepped back to allow others to step up. But the troop gives me great opportunities to get away from the family. As I was backpacking with them last weekend, each time we passed a mile marker, I’d shout “another mile down and I haven’t heard anybody added to the holiday honey-do list!”

      Freedom of Information Act

      The federal FOIA and the various state and local versions apply only to governmental entities.  This is not a productive way to get information from not-for-profit organizations.

      @MattR  Nice to have you around the campfire   Thanks for serving as a Moderator! The BSA will limp along until it perishes from self-inflicted wounds or radically transforms.  The former is more likely than the latter. Scouting will always be a thing.  It was a thing even before it was called Scouting... young people having adventures together and learning how to get along in their own little "citizenship" laboratory. Societal ills will increase to a point where adults will realize we need to help young people learn how to replace us.  And then there will be a revival. Take your grandkids camping, and do your own version of Scouting.  Adventures, skills, and teamwork with grandpa sound like great fun. Enjoy the hikes 😜  And post a picture!
