Through the Southside Virginia United Way, I've made the maxx 'fair share' donation to the Robert E Lee Council #602 Boy Scouts every year for the past 22 years thru 2003. After reading
this article, I will never give them another dime of my hard earned money and you can tell them I said so!

I am an active Scouter, and I hope you will reconsider your position. I can understand the emotion from the name change, and I will not try to defend the Council. We recently had a emotionally charged meeting when two of our districts were combined into a new district. Because of longstanding traditions, people were upset about the change. However, after a bit of time, I noticed that all the volunteers were still involved and the anger gone. The reason - we all remembered why we are here. IT IS FOR THE BOYS. In your Council, assuming you intended your contributions to benefit the scouts, they are still there! And they need your contributions. I firmly believe, as a Scouter for a dozen years, that most of the problems we find in scouting are the result of adults and their agendas, and forgetting why we are really here, which is for our scouts.

Please, send your donation to our council, I can assure you that we will never be politically correct. Or send it to those poor folks in Miami.
