Locally, at least, we've held that together. Good people running the troop, the district leadership is hands-off, and we've insulated ourselves from all the sex-foolishness.
However, I'm not under any illusions that it will continue. It's pretty likely WBill Jr. will get - probably already HAS gotten - what he needs out of the BSA. I'm hoping that it will hold together until we're done.
It would be nice to have a lasting legacy, but I doubt it. My grandkids, almost certainly, won't even know what a boy scout is.
Yes, so sad. I am ordering Pinewood Derby trophies this week but will also order Arrow of Light plaques for the 5th graders in my pack. My oldest has one of those, but it just hit me that my younger sons will never get one.
