@carlivar The worst is when someone else decides what they want to listen to and then imposes it on everyone else on the trail with a Bluetooth speaker.
@PhilipDBunn@thedispatch Certainly losing potential leaders, whether it be to other organizations or not continuing with a scouting tradition at all, hurts BSA (or whatever it's called now) but this is all about adult opinions, not the youth experience.
@PhilipDBunn@thedispatch I'm an Eagle Scout and a leader in my son's troop, and formerly in his Cub Scout pack. In my experience a more inclusive organization has been positive. Our boys and girls units frequently work together on activities and games, but their patrols operate independently.
@PhilipDBunn@thedispatch While I don't have the experience of one of the scouts, I do not perceive the boys feel constrained by having girls around. While I understand that some disagree with the changes Scouts have made I disagree with the premise that the organization has lost its way.
Thanks PIC for helping me pass my checkride! I was stalled with my training and Doug did a fantastic job of getting me to the finish line. @10DAYINSTRUMENT
@netdad I've gone many years without having any benefit from thousands of dollars of payments for insurance, doesn't mean it was a bad idea to pay for it. Low utilization by itself is not compelling.
@netdad Sure, but surely many millions were already spent before it even opened. Maybe it was a mistake? I'm just not convinced by low utilization, and I have first hand experience that everything was not fine with healthcare as late as late 2021.
@carlivar@netdad Certainly a gross framing of things but not at all clear to me that not aiding Ukraine is the humane option. I guess we'll find out in the next few decades. 🤞
We quit @LifetimeF Warrenville several years ago after numerous requests to prevent adults using the family locker room as a shortcut were ignored. https://t.co/lzH2Q5tdrn
