Your just a little before your time.... I have now two moms of our Rangers that serve as Outpost Council Procurement and Straight Arrow Commander. Both are doing a fantastic job. This past weekend we had a BB gun campout where we had 35 total 13 leaders and 22 boys. Both Ranger Mom's were at the BB Gun campout working in the Ranks helping tons! They did sleep in a motor home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is fine and good. I have a time or two been found sleeping in my pull camper at a few campouts. As I see it it is no different than sleeping in a car/truck/station wagon...etc. One thing we all had a great time and only two new rules, no wizing in public and leave the motor home alone.
Just a matter of time. A#1 we will see both men and woman serving in RR in all capacities with very few restrictions. Only makes good sense.
