Throughout the District tonight, all local Cub Scout Packs will be holding a recruitment "Rally Night" at your local Elementary School at 7 pm for parents and boys (Grades 1-5) who wish to join Cub Scouts. Most meetings will be held at your school's cafeteria.Children are invited and will have a small project to work on with other Cub Scouts, while parents (and grandparents) learn more about the Cub Scout program.Hope to see you there!

Once the Boy Scouts (and by extension Cub Scouts) allowed openly gay youth into the group, I lost my respect for it.   When I was a Boy Scout and Cub Scout, it wasn't about sexual preference.  That wasn't important.  What was important was the fun, the friendships, and the learning/growing.  By accepting openly gay people, the organizations made gayness and sexual preference an important feature of scouting.  When I was a kid I lived by these promises and oaths taken as a scout.  I no longer live by them by rote, because I live with the guidance of the Holy Spirit through God's grace.  That leads me to what these oaths and codes represent.  But for a child with limited understanding, this was important.I remember them all.Cub Scout Promise:I promise to do my best, to do my duty to God and my country, to help other people, and to obey the law of the pack.  The Cub Scout pack follows the leader (Akela.)  The Cub Scout pack helps the pack go.  The Cub Scout gives good will.Cub Scout Motto:  Do your best.The Boy Scout versions were not as simple, because boy scouts are older with better understanding.Boy Scout motto:  Be prepared.  Boy Scout Slogan: Do a good turn daily.Boy Scout Oath:  I promise to do my best, to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.Boy Scout Law:  A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent.The Outdoor Code:  As an American I will do my best to be clean in my outdoor manners, be careful with fire, be considerate in the outdoors, and be conservation minded. 4951

I don't really care about that. But what really baffled me is allowing girls in the Boy Scouts and boys in the Girl Scouts. 4951

If people didn't care about it, they wouldn't have made a point of pushing for openly gay people in scouting. 4951
