I am glad my son was able to go through Boy Scouts before it got weird!

Still have my BSA back pack from early ‘70’s. I didn’t finish, but my son was an Eagle Scout. Wife was involved a lot, while I was traveling for work during that time period.

The Assemblies of God, and other Pentecostal churches, have the Royal Rangers program. When I was a commander in my church's outpost, we had boys come just on Wednesday nights (the night of our service) and they'd go on outings with us and stuff. They didn't have to belong to the church to go.

I am glad my son was able to go through Boy Scouts before it got weird! BSA has been weird for half a century.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Got my Eagle in ‘98 and am the third and final generation for my family’s involvement in that organization. It’s a shell of what it was. 12 year old is in Indian Guides. It’s ok. He’s very take-it-or-leave-it about that group. Not sure what I will do for his two little brothers to help them stay well rounded (and grounded) future leaders.

Wow, I hadn't heard of Indian Guides since the 1960s.
