Thanks for clearing that up Beavah.

Yer all missing my point. The ACLU just can't decide to sue! Some one has to come to them and request them to take a case. Right????

Ah but the Scoutmaster is the one who is to assign a registered MB counselor. That is part of the job description.

To earn the Silver Beaver one has to be active in more than Scouting at any level.

Girls and goats! Sounds like an episode of "The Beverly Hillbillies"

That's what I thought also shortridge, that's why this statement I wish those who had bent public schools to their will of religious discrimination had voluntarily seen that public schools can't possibly charter private clubs that exclude atheists and had dropped them, instead of requiring the ACLU to threaten to sue public schools that violated the civil rights of their own students. specifically the part after the last comma befuddled me.

OGE was correct in asking this thread to be spun off! I thought the ACLU could only sue if they took a case? Is that a fact?

OK. Jack has served his time. He does deserve a 2nd chance but should be on a short leash! What I mean is one more time, and Bang Pow Zowie he's gone.

I thought the ACLU could only sue if they took a case? Is that a fact?

The Scoutmaster is the "gatekeeper" for MB's. When a Scout wants to work on a merit badge the Scout & the Scoutmaster have a chat about the badge & the Scoutmaster assigns the Scout a registered MB counselor for the MB. Says that in the Scoutmaster handbook and the Boy Scout handbook and other places as well.

If the counselor isn't registered, the badge isn't valid.

You see, this was part of the problem we had at camp this year. We had several scouts who were discipline problems (I don't want to get sidetracked on those here), but it seemed as if any "punishment" which was dished out by the PLC was warmly embraced by the offending scouts. When the scouts missed breakfast, they simply dropped by the canteen to buy slurpees and ice cream, which they preferred to breakfast anyway. Another example was two scouts who skipped out on watier duty at lunch one day were given 2 days of waiter duty for the troop, which was great with them, as that meant they didn't have to stand out in the hot sun and they got to eat before everyone else. I see what the problem is! These kids want to be punished so they can do something else! Smarter than you thought, eh! Well there is a cure for every ill! If they miss breakfast, ask the folks at the canteen to not sell anything to those Scouts. Or if you see them with this stuff, take it off them & toss it in the trash! And as for those who skipped out on waiter duty, how about a couple days of latrine duty! And to top it off, a call to mom & dad for all offenders! Ya gotta be creative~

What they did was wrong, but that still does not mean they will get convicted. Its gonna be a long court fight for both sides, and right now it looks like the defense has the evidence leaning in their favor. They might be wrong, but luckily they can plead the 5th, and not give the DA what he needs to get a conviciton. What they did might have been the worst thing in the world, but you still cannot prove someone guilty without having better evidence. Innocent until proven guilty, and the burden of proof is on the affirmative. The only positive part of this entire post is you admitting what they did was wrong! The rest is just trite commentary.

You really are a piece of work xlpanel! Do you have a copy of the police report? Do you know for a fact there is no cell phone video? Are you condoning what happened?

The Scoutmaster should be giving the Scout the name & contact information for a MB counselor for the badge the Scout wants to work on.

This isn't about me or if I would have done something like this. And the reason these boys are in it up to their necks is because they didn't think about what they were doing! If they had they might have realized that if they were caught they would be in a lot of legal trouble that would impact the rest of their lives! You keep stating the prosecutor can't prove intent. You don't know what is on that cell phone video! There might be enough evidence to prove intent! You don't know! Would someone please pass the Kool-Aid?

Are you actually condoning what these boys did xlpanel? It sure sounds like you are trying to justify it! What if this happened to your son? You really don't get it do you? This was an illegal act committed premeditated!

The stories I told were not made up, but they were not printed anywhere, either. Do you have anything to back them up or are we supposed to take your word they are the actual story? You really do get sarcasm do you xl?

OGE, Ya mean all those talking heads on TV are giving us a slanted view of the news??? Why the dirty ...............................!

So the second version of your story is what made up?

You really don't get it do you xlpanel? What these kids did was against the law! Oh wait! We all know how you feel about that since you don't feel kids having porn is not illegal.

And how do you know the 2nd story isn't media spin in the perpetrators favor?

Yeah the media can spin things a thousand ways. We all know that. What's your point xlpanel?

Whether they made him drink it or not, what they did is wrong in so many ways! Aftertaste! Now that's funny!

Did they actually make him drink, or was it just threatened? What's the difference~
