Facebook image by Nick Owen My mother and several of my friends (mostly males) all asked me the same question as I was growing up.   As a young Scoutmaster, I was asked that same question by parents who were interested in Boy Scouting but wondered out loud, "what will he get out of this?"  Black and Latino's families ask that same question when I go to communities of color and introduce and explain Scouting to them. It is a universal question, sometimes even asked of ourselves: "What's the value of all that Scout crap?  It sounds and looks to me like algebra or Latin ......

Many museums and other vacation spots all over the world are enabling folks to try to find new things to see and do by offering free virtual performances, exhibitions, videos, and exclusive performances for people to take in from their homes.

Issue 648 – July 21, 2020 ________________________________________(The correspondence immediately below is from in July 2018. I’m offering it to you here because I believe it calls up an issue that has—I certainly hope—been put to rest, as a result of the huge enthusiasm of girls everywhere, many of whom have grabbed on to SCOUTS BSA “like nobody’s business, ” as my Dad used to say!)
