My wife and I went to a beading for one of my participants that was scheduled at the beginning of a Cross Over Ceremony. The cross over ceremony had a burning arrow, a monkey bridge (totally old school), two fires, a billion Scouts, 3 Troops hoping to scoop up some new Scouts and tons and tons of parents.
My non-Scouting wife summed it up in this one phrase that not only shocked me but shocked me because she can actually see a difference between LDS Scouting and regular awesome Scouting:
"Man, compared to this LDS Scouting sucks."
I guess you have to know my wife to more fully understand this. She isn't a Scouter and didn't enjoy it when she was. She is a very positive person and tends to see the good in all. She is very quiet and doesn't speak much. In one sentence, she said tons.
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........)
