I am fed up with the ACLU's attacks on the BSA. What can I do to help the Boy Scouts defend themselves from these demons?

www.bsalegal.org is one place you can go. Another way is to look up your local Council and write them a check. Letters to the editor of your local news media might help.

The best way of all is to help strengthen Scouting in your local area by volunteering. Your local Scouting unit probably could use a volunteer. You don't do camping? Maybe you could help with the popcorn or Christmas wreath sale, or drive kids to campouts. The local Council's summer camp usually has at least one weekend in the spring when they host groups of adults to perform construction and maintenance - knock down that old latrine and build the kids a new bathroom or shower house.

You could even become a merit badge counselor. Seems to me that there's plenty of FReepers who could teach Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Rifle Shooting, Shotgun Shooting, Fishing, Woodworking, Auto Mechanics, and plenty of others - check out www.meritbadge.com for a list of all 100+ merit badges and their requirements.

You could be a merit badge counselor or buy lots of popcorn, both of which just help Scouting in general to sustain and be strong.
