It isn't a perfect organization by any means, but as the retired Army NCO in the article stated, scout troops do a lot of good on military bases and are a large passive recruitment vehicle for the armed services. This move is short sighted, idiotic and gross.

My first job out of HS was for the local BSA council. I grew up with 3 generations of Eagle Scouts (Gramp, Dad, uncle, brothers). Both my parents volunteered with local troops for years. My sister worked at a scout camp. Scouting is in my blood.

FYI Secretary Stupid, Co-ed Programs have existed within Scouting America since the mid 1960s and adult women have served in leadership and volunteer roles across the organization since 1970 (not simply as "Den Mothers" for Cub Scouts). Girls have been in Scouting longer than you have been alive.

On my honor I will 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 (Scout Oath)

Be Prepared (Scout Motto)

A Scout is: Trustworthy Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent. (Scout Law: Scouting America version, text unchanged since 1911)

This goes for all handmade commissions. Long ago I worked in craft store. Christmas crafting starts in July, by Halloween the the holiday craft supplies were being clearanced out. If you have waited till now to get something custom, it's already too late.

Please tell me there is a place on the internet I can listen to you sing an MtG parody of Frosty? This idea also makes me wonder if a certain Mariah Carey song might also be good for listing MtG cards (Don't @ me internet that song slaps and you know it 😉)
