I have my Eagle medal, card and patch in a shadow box hanging on my living room wall. As you said, there is pride in that achievement. I earned it. The sad sick spectacle of modern Scouting can't take that away. But I still lament that the virtues that Baden-Powell wanted to instill into young men has been cast aside for political expedience.

The worst thing that happened to the Boy Scouts was accepting corporate funding. It was only a matter of time after that before Scouting was being dictated to out of political correctness.

“The worst thing that happened to the Boy Scouts was accepting corporate funding.”

After graduating college in ‘71, I went to work for the BSA as a Professional Scouter in Buffalo/Niagara Falls, and Dir of PR for Dade/Broward/Monroe Ctys, to pay back for the 9-10 wonderful yrs I had as a kid (Cubs, Webelos, Scouts, Explorers) and young man.

The business shit hit in 1972, and it became a corp-controlled business, with fake packs/troops/posts and NUMBERS. The whole BSA was crooked and receiving corp money to grow fake numbers, just as many businesses do.

I saw it happen gradually, first-hand.

After 2yrs in Buffalo/The Falls and 5yrs in Miami, I quit, and went back to the marketing world in Midtown Manhattan.

Corporations are evil. The Left owns them.
