I am an Eagle Scout.
Ever heard of it?
Apparently more and more people don’t even know what that is – and the days of “this is a good thing to put on your resume” are long gone.
This weekend I had a lively discussion prompted by my new Home Teacher in which we extolled the pros and cons of the Boy Scout program as it is sponsored by our Church. This prompted an extended conversation afterward with our house guests (thanks for coming McKay and Annie!) about the scouting program.
Which gets me to the question of this blog: Should the Church continue to mandate that each congregation in the United States and Canada sponsor a Boy Scout Troop?
