I too am an Eagle Scout.
I agree with your view of things Troublebot. It seems to be the way things are looked at locally.
I recently received my 25-year service pin. I started in cub scout when I was 8. (There were no Tiger Cubs yet.) I worked up the rank until I recieved Eagle.
I now am involved at the District and Council levels and find it very satisfying. As a member of the District Commisioner staff, I am helping out a local Troop that was ready to fold. This has given me the chance to get back invovled at a leader level and re-learn many of the basics.
While I don't agree with the hard-line stance that National had decided to take, I will NEVER regret my invovlement in the BSA.
Nor do I regret staying involved as an adult leader.
I have been to two National Jamborees in Virginia, and plan to attend Philmont in the next few years.
I have hiked in the wilderness, canoed rivers, met many new friends and gained a lot of leadership experience that has helped in the business world.
