Youth that age will say “I am a Scout.” Thanks for link. Yes "I am a Scout" , but there is no mention that a scout CANNOT say they are a "Boy Scout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they never cracked down on rogue packs full of tag along girls “unofficially” earning badges, and they never cracked down on rogue troops with tag along girls on outings...but that’s different.🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RememberSchiff Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I get you are upset, but I think we should focus more on our scout program and less on names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you don't have to face 100 parents who will be asking this question and expecting an answer, but I'd like to know the answer so I can provide it. The program isn't changing, so there really isn't anything to focus on other than "it's not changing" I don't understand why you can't provide answers, or if you don't have concrete answers, at the very least acknowledge it's something that some people will want an answer for and just allow for discourse on what the answers may be. This thread is literally about "names", it's not about program, it's about "names". Asking about them seems fairly on topic.

But if you can't get the brand out there concisely and effectively, then the program doesn't matter as people will (rightly) assume that you can't get that together, either.

Its use in this case is to differentiate Scouts in the BSA from Scouts in the GSUSA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
