My Father was a District Commisioner for the Boy Scouts of America in South
Carolina for 6 years (up until his death). He was actively promoting scouting
in poor and disadvantaged neighborhoods. He always believed in the good it
would do by focusing the kids on positive moral and social values. There are
a lot of good people involved with scouting, and there are losers as well. We
have the same in any human endeavor. I knew some real a******s that were adult
leaders when I was involved myself. If you disagree with the way things are,
get involved and try to change it.
