[Bobwhite Blather] Scouting from the inside out

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

Bobwhite Blather has posted a new item, 'Scouting from the inside out'

Ask most people what they know about Boy Scouting, and the most frequent
responses you'll get are either "Are they still around"? or they'll cite the
negative attention BSA has been getting lately about its policies and past
practices.

Ask most Scouting families, and they'll tell you that Scouting's purpose is to
go camping, for the boys to earn merit badges, and that most eventually become
Eagle Scouts if they stick around long enough.

Boys will respond along a range of reactions, anywhere from "my mom makes me go"
and "we wear dorky uniforms and sit around in meetings" to "it's fun!" or "we go
camping and have gone on some great adventures".

Aims and methods, values, mission and vision are rarely mentioned, yet these are
at the core of our movement.
