RememberSchiff Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Rememberschiff, I think it would be a bit more family/scout appropriate to word it, "So drug distribution and porn at Boy Scout Troop ### Scout Hut...." Just thinkin' It also goes a long way to feel confident in the background checks National is doing. Next thing you know, we'll all be peeing in a cup at every RT...at least in Pennsylvania. Ha good point. Had x's on my mind from Algebra tutoring. I hope that Council is interviewing everyone in Troop ###, inspecting facilities, etc. I wonder who the CO is?

Krampus Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Well at least this guy's DC knows why he never volunteered for any committees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyke Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I guess I missed the shift from criminal drug activity in BSA to ramblings about concealed carry. But as long as that's where we went, this CO prohibits concealed carry at any time or event. This applies to the congregation as well as the troop and pack. I support their policy. I add: this policy applies to open carry as well, pretty much all firearms at all times. The congregation seems to be solid on this policy as well. Why on earth would you need a gun at a scout meet anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Same reason one might want one at a school, or a movie theater, or shopping mall, or in a church. Guns aren't just for back alleys anymore. They are now fashion accessories for some of the nicest places one could imagine or couldn't image. Who da thunk a scout leader would be selling meth out of a scout facility? The world has changed. Edited January 15, 2016 by Stosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stosh Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm thinking that with all the overly sensitivity to the litigation issues and the PC stance of only shooting round paper targets, that one has totally erased the basic premise of the original founders of the scouting movement in America. The motto chosen was Be Prepared. That means prepared for all situations where one's obligation to the Scout Law might mean one has to stand and defend those around you. A Boy Scout pocket knife is even outlawed in areas these boys spend the majority of their daylight hours. That pretty much neutralizes the whole concept of Be Prepared and a good portion of the Scout Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAHAWK Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 My son has been an LEO for three agencies - one local, one state, and one federal. He has always been required to carry whenever outside his residence. That would be "required." My impression is that such requirements are routine, thank God.

RememberSchiff Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Nov, 2015 Outside Philadelphia, a Cub Scout leader and her son (adult) were charged with multiple counts of manufacturing, delivery or possession, conspiracy, endangering the welfare of children, and related crimes. Joann Badey did not post bail and was remanded to the Delaware County Jail. George Badey IV was released on bail, according to court records. George Badey was listed as a leader for Radnor Cub Scout Pack 371 on the group's website. Upon hearing the news, Scout leader David Bryan said she was no longer affiliated with the pack. The drugs were being sold to Villanova University students, according to sources. Police are continuing the investigation to see if any drugs were sold to students in area high schools, said William Colarulo, superintendent of police. http://articles.philly.com/2015-11-18/news/68356938_1_drugs-main-line-william-colarulo Background checks come into question here, particularly since this occurred in Pennsylvania. Her son has several drug arrests in both Maryland and Pennsylvania, I would think this would be noted in the PA State Police and FBI checks of her known associates. What I like about talking to myself is that I stay on topic. Edited January 16, 2016 by RememberSchiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case he could not be an active member of this unit. The church leadership might allow him to attend services, I haven't asked about that.

tyke Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 You are a law enforcement officer and you are on call. if your a law enforcement officer and are on call, you shouldn't be at scouts. In the UK (where I'm from) it all seems complete madness. Some of our police are allowed guns (armed response units), but when they are not on a job they are kept locked in the police station. Our kids are allowed knives thought and the law is quite reasonable, if stopped by the police, if you can prove you have a good reason to have it on your person then thats fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
