Perhaps it will be Person Scouts.

Two of my grandchildren had Eagle Scout ceremonies, which I attended. Theirs was among the last real Boy Scout Packs that I knew.

It’s coming to an end. . . .

I attended an Eagle Scout ceremony back in September. It was a very moving experience (my boy is a second year Boy Scout, just becoming Scout 2nd class) and I have to say the young man was impressive. In fact, he specifically held it on September 11th so that he could pay tribute to first responders and the victims of that fateful day.

Sad to think this is all going to fade away into a bland, homogenized “family activity” type of thing, rather than specific to boys growing to be young men. Very sad indeed and a commentary on our times.
