There is no religious "side" of the [Scouting] movement. The whole of it is based on religion, that is, on the realizations and service of God. Let us, therefore, in training our Scouts, keep the higher aims in the forefront, not let ourselves get too absorbed in the steps. Don't let the technical outweigh the moral...Our objective in the Scouting movement is to give such help as we can in bringing about God's Kingdom on Earth..... (LBP, Headquarters's Gazette, November 1920)I understand a program that changes to fit boys but the basics are the basics. It appears that Lord Baden Powell's Scouting program is dead or dying.
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........)
