Scoutmaster CG has a great article on why we do things........or why we should be doing things.
We should not be teaching merit badges on Wednesday nor should we be teaching rank advancement. Instead we teach skills and then the Scout applies the learned skills towards ranks and merit badges. It is like teaching the test in school. Ya, you pass the test but 10 seconds after the test..........POOF the knowledge is gone!!
The ramblings of an ex BSA Varsity Team Coach on Scouting and specifically the Varsity program. My thoughts, ideas and concerns are in no way connected or shared in any form or fashion by the Boy Scouts of America or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who volutold me to serve as a Varsity Coach. Some personal rambling too........... (I am an Assistant Scoutmaster now that the Varsity Program has been murdered........)
