- I agree with Robert Czernkowski. The homosexual/athiest in the BSA issues are
- of interest only in the USA. I'm interested in scouting when I read this group,
- not american politics. My KILL file for rec scouting is larger than the
- one I have for soc.history. If the americans out there were to follow
- the line about 'a scout is courteous' they would create a new group
- rec.scouting.bsa for their discssions, and in the interim, ensure that
- their aritcles have a distribution of usa.
-
- On a scouting note. does anyone have a suggestion for a wide area game
- (other than capture the flag) suitable for senior cubs (age 9). Our
- fall camp is in a semi wooded area.
