Tampa Turtle Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I apologize. False alarm. We HAVE been listened to! Due to so many Eagle Mills a new Rank is proposed: Double Eagle. 42 Merit Badges and a 2 year service project. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am shocked, shocked in advance I tell you.

Tampa Turtle Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I expect a few folks to hit the "Boy" a bit loudly at the next meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am shocked, shocked in advance I tell you. It's Tuesday and apparently there was a survey and the survey was of people (families) that are not involved in the Boy Scouts of America at this time (in fact some do not even live on this planet much less this particular dimensional plane) but they were overwhelming supportive of and interested in possibly becoming involved with an organization that perhaps was not named Boy Scouts of America and then there was a vote of the National Board of the currently named Boy Scouts of America and the vote was 123.2% in favor of possibly changing the name to something else (sadly Dallas Cowboys, Manchester United, and New York Yankees were already taken) and the hope is that the new name will generate a tremendous amount of revenue what with merchandising and knick knack sales that will help support the underfunded pension liabilities and balloon payments for the currently named Summit Bechtel Reserve and drive hundreds of thousands more youth and adults to join the newly renamed and rebranded organization 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am shocked, shocked in advance I tell you. The organization is still going to be the "Boy Scouts of America." The question raised by Mashmaster's post is whether there is still going to be a program within the BSA called "Boy Scouts." I guess what we are going to find out is whether there are going to be two programs or one program at the age 11-17 level, and if there is one, what it is going to be called, and if there are two, what the name of the program for girls is going to be. I really hope they stick with the single-gender concept at age 11-17. And keep the name "Boy Scouts." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambridgeskip Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'll have a £5 bet on the announcement being; 1. The name of the organisation will change from Boy Scouts of American to either BSA or Scouts or America 2. The 11-17 program will change its name from Boy Scouts to Scouts. Simples! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go again with that Cambridge logic. Maybe it will be the "NRA Scouts". That will confuse things. Anyway I got a COH and a ECOH to work on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
