Mormon scouting is a joke

How so?

Well, when they did it in the BSA, they essentially stripped down the program to be an Eagle Scout Factory. Doing only the bare minimum to meet the requirements so all their scouts could achieve Eagle by the age of 14.

Even though it was a program you could be apart of until the age of 18, you would never see a mormon scout above 15. They devalued the rank of Eagle Scout so much that the military stopped recognizing it as a qualifier for immediate bump in rank on enlistment

I mean I don't really think the politics of eagle scout status or whatever are that important. I had a mormon friend that did it and as far as I'm concerned it would just be nice to have a scouting program for children to do outdoor things that's not full of gays and trannies like the bsa is.

Trail Life

Oh absolutely. I was apart of a traditional BSA troop that was non-denominational, and had a heavy value on youth leadership, outdoor skills, discipline, and self improvement. I got my Eagle scout right before I turned 18

The whole thing that happened with them having to let girls in is bullshit yeah, and the BSA is a dying program most definitely though compared to when I was in it. I'm speaking about the Mormons from experience because I was apart of one the few non-mormon troops in my entire region

We were criticized and complained about by the Mormon troops actually because we were 'paramilitary'

Hm I guess trail life already solved this issue

They seem to be growing

I was in a Mormon troop, and though I had some really great experiences, but it's absolutely true that they ran things as a Merit Badge mill.

There were times when people would get about one per week.

I just realized that if BSA goes bankrupt, that's a great opportunity for us

Getting close to 5 years, and I can almost afford property.

What do y'all think of "The Lobby" by Al Jazeera on the tribe? Was

Gonna watch it

Interesting tidbit y’all so I found that one of my family members traced my family back to the 1600’s here in America

What do you guys think it would cost to buy out a BSA camp site?

I was with my sister today and she was telling me

Thicc

Depends on location, size, state of the facilities

Usable, big enough, not a weird location

The DNA tests can be useful but it’s not 1% of the joy and connection to actually researching the names and stories in your family tree. It’s a must do ASAP IMO

You could probably pick one up in the Rocky Mountain region for a fair price
