Our Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster are both men--as they absolutely should be. Our Outdoor Activities Chair is a man. Our Troop Chaplain is a man. Our Rank Advancement Chair is a man. The remaining positions--Charter Organization Rep, Fundraising Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Adult Committee Chair are women. These roles are all support roles for the male adult committee members and have very little to do at all with the Scouts, outside of occasional updates. You don't think it's a good idea for Scouts to see women supporting men? That would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
You mentioned your recent attendance at a Scout event in which you were horrified to see women involved...were you so horrified that you contacted your local BSA Council to find out how you can get involved in Scouting? No, I didn't think so. Just keep talking the talk there, tough guy. It's easy to be a strong male role model on the internet, isn't it? God bless.
Thanks for making my point that more men should be involved in Scouting. By the way, while I am presently nearing 70 and physically unable to help, I put 20 years into Scouting in my youth, which is certainly more than most. In the 50’s and 60’s it was 100% male in the two troops I was affiliated with. I know that times change; but, in my opinion, not necessarily for the better. God bless.
