What's all this about removing all mention of the BSA from the history?
Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but aren't we founded on the basis and
beliefs upheld by the BSA? Did we not start as a Brotherhood of Eagle
Scouts?
Put simply, removing all mention of the BSA is WRONG!!!
Even if we aren't as affiliated with the BSA as we once were, there are some
of us, like us here at Alpha Beta Chapter, who still have STRONG ties with
scouting. We sponsor a Special Scouting Troop, a Cub Scout Pack, and a
Brownie Troop. We also run the Boy Scout Council's annual First Aid Meet.
We are what we are, based and, in some cases, close to the BSA. Leave it
alone.
