I think the point needs to be clarified that the "scouts" and "scouting" to which you refer relate to our trailblazer/tral ranger age groups, not Pionees and under...

Just a clanging bell to say that *Teaching Ranger material
like a course of classwork is redundent to the notion of "scouting"

Yes it may be effective, and erase any mental prep work<G>

But it also shoots individual achievement and the associated "Honor"
of personal effort in the foot. In the troop we attend.. a boy who
attends the meetings and campouts may *never make rank or rate.

He might be asked why he isn't interested in advancement.. But he
never is given a bribe or cut a break on his duty.   The weekly meeting
is often crazy or disorganized.  Getting a handbook signed is hard
to do.. unless you get it done by your personal effort.

How does teaching a Royal Ranger sunday school lesson promote the gold
points?

How does holding a lecture/reading class relate to "earning" anything?

Later in the life of every American Citizen...

*Do we advance in life by attending classes, or by enguageing in the
struggle with all our talents?
