Red Feather,
With regard to what you have said about MOS, it sounds alot like the OA. Two weeks ago I was at the Black Eagle Lodge Fellowship and there are alot of grey haired Scouters there. Attaining the rank of Vigil is not easy probably just as difficult as the MOS's highest rank.
What I do like is that we have A boy lead organization granted there are adult advisors, and all of the old grey haired types like to attened the Lodge executive councils, and stay invovled with the leadership but its the boys that have the final vote.
I would have to find out more about MOS to make an informed decision, it sounds good on the surface but it would sound better to me if the boys ran it.
