Increase in Scouting Membership, at least in one group

[scoutingagain]

With all this talk about declining membership I though I'd share the article below about a group in the Boston area that is seeing increased interest in it's scouting programs.

Nice post. I have a couple of issues with the article, all minor. One, they talk of Americana but in reality Scouting is world wide and not a US phenomena alone.

 

Second, "who is in training to become a Boy Scout master at the center" made me laugh. Yes, long ago the "master of scouts" phrase was once used but the above statement sounds like something out of Yoda from Star Wars.
