It is sad that so many boys will not have the same experience I had in Boy Scouts and similarly the wonderful time my son had. BSA is in its final days. Makes me sad.

As a Cub Scout Den Leader for 5 years, and the extremely proud mother of an Eagle Scout, I join you in your sadness. My step-father and uncle were also Eagle Scouts and one of the strengths of Scouting was the continuity over the years. Scouting was the best thing for my son, it saddens me that by the time my grandson is ready to join, the BSA will not resemble the wonderful program.
