      It's about time that Scouting WOKE up

      By Eagle1993 · Posted

      I don't know of any kid who goes through school that sees any value add in Citz in Nation or World. Both are covered many times in 6th through 12th grade.  Citizenship in Community provides value and is often missed in school. Citizenship in home (family life) could continue.  So go from 5 (world, nation, society, community and home) to 2.  Then add in Wilderness Survival and a shooting sport as Eagle required.

      Silver Beaver to an employee?

      By KnotYourAverageScout · Posted

      Our council announced one of this year's recipients of the Silver Beaver award is an employee of the council. Is that possible? A lot of former Silver Beaver recipients seem to think it's not allowed and aren't happy about the announcement, but don't know what to do about it.

      Citizenship in Society MB Discontinued

      The mistake was getting involved in the debate.  Introducing this a few years caused frustration without gain.  Now, removing causes frustration without gain.  ... Scouting needs to focus on paddling a canoe and cooking over an open fire; not the politics of the left or the right.

      New Induction Ceremony

      By Mrjeff · Posted

      Noone was move vocal then me concerning the re-develement of the ceremony aspect of the OA.  I just watched the national presentation ( you go Emma) concerning the new Ordeal ceremony.  I admittedly changed my mind.  The national Chief and Vice Chief have a great plan to introduce the new material and I think it looks pretty good.  I am personally excited th participate in this endeavor and put my whole support as this transition moves forward.  Sure I'll miss the AIA aspect and will have fond memories but I encourage all members get on board and support the positive changes.

      I get the sentiment of the opt-out idea, but in practice it's not a great idea.  It would be abused. Also... if it's covered in school - it should be that much easier to knock it out for Scouts, and the refresher doesn't hurt to know that "An Eagle definitely covered this topic".  That's my $0.02.
