I’m an Eagle Scout (2000) and have been been a Scouter all except while I was in college, and work with our Catholic Committee in Scouting.
I trust my local Council leadership completely. They are good men and women and I count several among my friends.
The problem is BSA National. A mentally ill child and liberal deranged mother in New Jersey can force a change in national policy that will run roughshod over our program elsewhere. All the good folks in our Council are stuck.
Depending on how this plays out, I think quite a few charter orgs will drop units. National’s insistence to ram through liberal politics is leading it to be unworthy to be called “the best youth organization there is”.
Why?
Surely in the BOY Scouts one should be able to find some BALLS!
