What is our status with BSA? I have heard one Sectional staff Brother
tell me we are at the best relationship we have had in 30 years, but I am
in serious question of this.
Based upon our membership criteria, which does not answer to BSA's Chief
Scout Executive and their policy, they wish to make things clearer about
our fraternity NOT being part of BSA. I thought it already said we were
not part of BSA, we simply have assumed their ideals of Scout Oath and
Law for our own.
BSA initiated these changes, and wanted to make things more separated
between us. What do you think? Is this better or worse? What is
better, and what is worse?
What will happen to the Scout handbook now? Will the one sentence and
crest appearance be the next target to strike? Curious fact, I was well
aware of this "Boy Scout fraternity thing" in my scout handbook, but
didn't know we had a chapter here in my home town until my sophomore year.
Well, if these are enough questions for the moment, so be it. Please
reply either private, or public, however you feel your opinions must be
expressed. Just PLEASE read what I have said here, and NOT how I said it.
