I'm with a pack that graduated a class of 16 AOLs - 1/3 our strength. Their parents were the pack leadership and they had checked out a year before their boys, just going through the motions, and then left with their boys, leaving no knowledge behind. They didn't orient, train or change jobs. The cubmaster had been in the position 8 years. We newbies had to rebuild the whole pack. J2E has been invaluable to us. Like the handbook, it gave us a clear set of markers to reach in order to advance. It got us to add important features to our program and to allocate resources and volunteers more effectively. I'm not saying it's the be-all, end-all in pack management, but it gave us direction. And, when we win Gold this year, we will have earned it. Btw, I HATE Six Sigma, TQM and I've been Myers-Brigg'd to the point where I feel I've served a prison time. This is not the same thing.

This is a troll. In my line of work, I've had to collaborate with a large number of people whose disposition is to use the words, "Boy Scout," as an insult, not a compliment. This is exactly the the sort of nonsensical hypothetical they like to use when they think they're clever and about to trap their opponent in hypocrasy. BTW: The correct answer to both questions in our hypothetical is, "No." Being an atheist means the hypothetical scout was telling a bald-faced lie every time he took the oath. In short, he practised serial deception and fraud in order to rise through the ranks. He sees no duty to God, is not morally straight (because he's lying - in case you're wondering), and he's not obeying the Scout Law. Under what circumstances would we ever want such a person in scouting?
