re your post #14: "Scouting BUMP... I have my father's Boy Scout manual from 1936, and it has a map of the world's scouts - the Middle East included. Scouting encourages the best in boys, and I support it fully for ALL boys.

These boys will learn the true ideals of America: that a real man, a scout, is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. That a real man, on his honor, will do his do his best to do his duty to God and HIS COUNTRY and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep himself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight..

Only those who are ignorant of the legacy of Scouting would deride these boys.

I know your post wasn't addressed to me, but I wouldn't deride any scout or scout program. I know there are scouting programs all over the world. I just didn't know there was such a variety of scouting programs in America. FYI.

I knew you wouldn't - I read your posts! ;)

A lot of us who are Scouters know how much the Boy Scouts have been attacked for standing by their principles - it hurts to think that we would yet again be attacked for doing what we have always done.
