Eagle Scouts turning in badges?

Yes, I would compare the issue to those subject to the draft during the Vietnam War.

 

Those who chose to burn their draft cards made a showy but empty gesture.

 

Those that chose to go to prison, or even leave for Canada to avoid being drafted were making a pretty profound moral statement. They were being counted.

 

In the same way, a person returning Scouting awards to BSA to protest the gay issue should be respected for taking a moral position and should be treated as a serious person, in my view.

 

Expunging their record of membership in an organization they no longer wish to be associated with is a way to treat them decently and honestly, in my opinion.

Actually Bando, I don't even try about half the time anymore. But the rest of the forum seems to think its "cute" or something.

I've never asked Beav, but I think he has his word processor set to auto-correct "the" to "da" and "you" to "yeh"

 

I just hope he uses a different program when he prepares those legal briefs...
