I was in the BSA in the 1970’s. Got my eagle rank.
My son eagled out in 2010. I was a merit badge counselor.
No way in hell will I have anything to do with this organization now.
I have always respected guys who made Eagle Scout, though I never did (only made 2nd Class) because back then, recall you really did have to do stuff to get it. It wasn’t an esteem award.
As a kid observing the process, it seemed insurmountable to me, so when I saw a kid make it, I really was impressed. It carried weight with it.
