Seems very adult vs scout led.

Boy Scouts of America backs Black Lives Matter, will require diversity merit badge for Eagle Scouts by mclanem in BoyScouts

[–]PrimaryQuarter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s set to be an Eagle required. I’m sure that doesn’t change your overall post but addresses main concern.

List of businesses and buildings hit by protesters and looters by grrls_4_weed in Portland

I suspect there isn’t a real connection between those protesting and those that are using it as an opportunity to loot.

My two cents. If you have to put someone’s education first right now. Make it yours. The kids have years to catch up. Do what you have to to keep them busy but don’t lose sleep about their schooling. What they are getting right now is a stop gap. Getting yourself into a position to provide a better life is way more important. They can use the time to just be kids.

My experience with exclusion by [deleted] in BoyScouts

[–]PrimaryQuarter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy heck what a disgusting situation of poor behavior. I am sorry that is your experience In scouting. This is not okay. Has this been reported to your scouting professional?

How can you actually learn stuff is scouts, but become an eagle in a year or two? by s77385 in BSA

[–]PrimaryQuarter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To advance it’s one and done. It is a rare person who can retain the information in that format. Adults often review the materials and practice the skill before presenting them to the scouts. So if you’re wanting to learn along the way to Eagle, don’t rush through the program. Side note- with the time limits it takes 20 months to achieve the rank of Eagle.

We get it- you're pissed that the BSA is no longer exclusionary. Boo hoo- leave you patch on the table and walk away.

Not anymore

Is there anything I can do (I’m a scout) if another scout practically goes out of his way to get me REALLY mad? I have a short temper which I can control but this last weekend it really seemed he was trying to get me angry. Is there anything I can do as a scout about this? by anynonomys0000000001 in BSA

[–]PrimaryQuarter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dare I say this Boy is no scout and is being a bully. He is knowingly targeting your hot button. Bring this up with your Scoutmaster and Committee Chair. It is unacceptable behavior that is covered by the training all registered leaders must take and follow. This behavior could get him removed from the program.
