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.

Can I get a <:boomer:548295778788048918> for this white monster?

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

IE is active in that region, too

very active

Yee. There's a really nice scout ranch not too far outside denver actually
