robert12 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Is the Varsity program dead? Both the youth and adult applications as well as the BSA's program site now make no reference to Varsity. https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/524-406.pdf https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/524-501.pdf https://www.scouting.org/programs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle94-A1 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Yes. When LDS church announced their decision to start backing away from Scouting, National decided to end the Varsity with a date of 12-31-17 as the last day. Varsity Scouts can join troops or crews now. The LDS church was the largest user of the program. In fact, I only heard of one group outside the LDS church using the program, and I only ever saw Varsity Scouts once in it's 34 years of existance, and that was at jambo.

qwazse Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Death is such a cruel description for a program that is no longer being used ... but yeah. BSA is no longer providing a Varsity Scouts program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
