[Bobwhite Blather] Boys or Scouts?

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

Bobwhite Blather has posted a new item, 'Boys or Scouts?'

We sometimes use the terms interchangeably. We have a boy-led troop with boy-led
patrols. They read Boys' Life. "Never do anything a boy can do" is a key piece
of advice, and Baden-Powell made frequent references such as "The Scoutmaster
teaches boys to play by doing so himself" and "The boy is not governed by don't,
but is led by do."

It is the Boy Scouts of America, after all. Our constituency is overwhelmingly
young men - boys - and we frequently think of them as such. However, when it
comes to dealing with them in the context of Scouting, it helps to think of them
with higher expectations than merely "boy".
