nowalmartI was a Boy Scout for six years. I attained the rank of Life Scout, one step below Eagle. I did not get my Eagle because I left for college and did not work on further advancement. I really enjoyed my time with my troop (Troop 315 in Louisville, KY), and learned a great deal.
Since that time I have continued to backpack and other activities I got my first taste of while a Scout.
Since that time I have also spent a great deal of time working with students in the exact age range that the BSA deals with.
I have considered volunteering with Troops when I move to a new area, and I never do.
This is why.

But, back to the point. I was a brownie, a daisy, a jr. girlscout, a girlscout, and a boy scout (apparently that troup didn't read the rules)--and I'm wondering if those troups all held the same "values". Well, it's obvious that they didn't work on my non-God fearing, lady-lovin' ass. It's really amazing that an organization with those ideals can continue to be so popular in America.
