I taught my youngest boy everything the BS could at a much younger age (I.e. knife handling, shooting, hunting, fire making, canoeing, etc...).  I did the same for my oldest son even though he was in BS.

Royal Rangers?

Many groups have started Boy Scout ish groups, almost copying the handbooks, but including more religion and such as they see fit.
I was a Cub leader for a while, was not impressed with corporate system.  Money hungry. 
As for the women involved, I sorta agree, but in the case of our pack, had the moms not stepped up, it would have folded. I still help with firearms training for the district, its my way of getting these kids more shooting chance.

The changes in BSA are disappointing to a former Scout.  I agree that this watering down of the Boy Scouts policies and processes has been very systematic and like water on a rock.  They are turning what was once a great organization into yet another mechanism to tell our boys that they are less than they can be and to follow the "party line". I was a Scout and although we are taught many things the basics is to respect yourself and others and do what is right.  We were taught to be self sufficient and how to survive in emergencies.

Banning squirt guns because they are "guns" just indicates that there is no longer an understanding of the purposes and directions for the organization or any level of "common sense" at the highest levels of the organization.  Lord Baden Powell is probably spinning in his grave.

I am very glad to hear that the local troop leadership is still able to make their own rules as these are guidelines not rules. The loss of the information and education is sad and a poor reflection on our culture today.

Moms in Cubs is essential.  Moms helping out in Boy Scouts is essential.  Female SCOUTMASTERS is just wrong.
