Howdy! Ready for a REVOLUTIONARY thought? Recent media reports are such that Boy Scouts funding from secular sources are under review for BSA stalwart stand for strong moral values. Criticizum from Royal Ranger's has been based on BSA secular tone to comply with funding resrictions.. US President GW Bush proposes funding with federal monies.. "faith based" *programs that develop character and serve the communities without linkage to religious requirements. BSA strongly backs a duty to Gos and active involvement of a boy in his church and his Youth group. *Both offer the God and Country religious faith training course.. Many Royal Ranger Outposts are finding it difficult to maintain an older boy Trailblazer/Trailranger outpost and support the local youth group fully.. Boy Scout have 90 years of success with the 11- 18 year old boy and have national outdoor training facilities and high adventure camps in place. BSA has used the Patrol system to develop character and train boys in Leadership and personal responsibility. *If the Eagle award represents un-questioned values that we can support, why do we not open our hearts for Royal Rangers to somehow build a bridge to the Eagle? READY? ------ (*Question) Could Royal Rangers meet it's mission by becomeing a recognized option to equal the Cub Scout program and meet the standards given for the Cub Scout arrow of light? *Then at 11-12 could Royal Rangers choose BSA in full measure with a Assembly of God doctrineal award that represents a condensed understanding of Royal Ranger core values? Respectfully submitted.. Yours for the boys!
