Yep. Wait till we see stats for 2014. This policy didn’t take effect till January 1, 2014. I know two Scout leaders locally who resigned effective January 1. My youngest son had his Eagle Scout Board of Review in December and they asked him how he would be participating in the coming year. He told them in no uncertain terms that he would not longer be active in the Scouts effective January 1 and that this is the reason why.
Good on your son. Mine earned Eagle in December but wasn’t asked. One of the Council guys knew that our entire troop was departing in January for Trail Life and seems to be in favor of us doing so. I suspect he either clued the other guy in or guided the conversation.
I think he asked to be on the Board of Review for just that reason.
Isn’t it interesting how quickly they try to manipulate reality? I’d say a 6% loss before it was even policy does not bode well for the lavender mafia.
And lets not forget replacement scouts when the current ones age out. I doubt there will be parents flocking to sacrifice their kids.
