[Bobwhite Blather] The 4-1-1 on big changes ahead

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

Bobwhite Blather has posted a new item, 'The 4-1-1 on big changes ahead'

Say goodbye to the Law of the Pack.

By now, you may have heard about the BSA executive board's approval of the
resolution to have all programs - Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Venturing and Varsity
Scouting - use the Boy Scout oath and law. The change, one of many on the
horizon, was recommended by volunteers and adopted by the board this past week.

Gone will be The Cub Scout helps the pack GO and other familiar phrases that
we pounded into our boys' heads (and our own) for so many years, to be replaced
by "A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful..." at pack and den meetings. Cub
Scouts will also be reciting the words "physically strong, mentally awake and
morally straight" before they can even grasp what those words mean in some
cases.
