Coming from an Eagle Scout, I don't feel that this is a good thing.  Yes, membership is down but I don't want to sacrifice the essence of scouting for the sake of pulling in kids that don't want to be there in the first place.  The last I heard 2% of all boys that ever join scouts make it to eagle.  It would diminish the feat if you could reach it in 6 months, doing all your work on a I-pod.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joxford32]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 14th 2009 8:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Boy Scout Handbook Goes Digital, 'Grand Theft Auto: Pine Box' Next?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/14/boy-scout-handbook-goes-digital-grand-theft-auto-pine-box-ne/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/14/boy-scout-handbook-goes-digital-grand-theft-auto-pine-box-ne/</guid><description><![CDATA[First off, congratulation on making to Eagle scout. I could have made to Life or Star, but my troop folded while I was working on Star. I do think its a little sad that the scouts are having to do gimmicky things like this to try to get more kids. Maybe its just that no one wants to learn how to fend for themselves or take responsibility. I can only hope the scouts survive. I would love to take my future son *someday* to Tiger Cubs, starting him on a path of personal growth.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[raptorspike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2009 5:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Boy Scout Handbook Goes Digital, 'Grand Theft Auto: Pine Box' Next?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/14/boy-scout-handbook-goes-digital-grand-theft-auto-pine-box-ne/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/14/boy-scout-handbook-goes-digital-grand-theft-auto-pine-box-ne/</guid><description><![CDATA[The Boy Scouts will soon be gone, people are not raising their kids with any kind of values anymore. The values that the Boy Scouts try to teach are being swept away. Putting the manual in a digital form is a last ditch effort, but if you have sat in a den meeting lately, the kids are goofing off and not paying attention, they aren't wearing their uniforms properly and the parents are not involved, unless dad was in the program. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tsgtfarfan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 14th 2009 10:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Boy Scout Handbook Goes Digital, 'Grand Theft Auto: Pine Box' Next?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/14/boy-scout-handbook-goes-digital-grand-theft-auto-pine-box-ne/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/14/boy-scout-handbook-goes-digital-grand-theft-auto-pine-box-ne/</guid><description><![CDATA[Problem with scouts is like many other organizations.  Too much stuff out there to do.  Not necessarily the right stuff.  I am still in scouts 10 years after my son finished up with his eagle and the reason is simple.  Schools are not teaching leadership skills.  As a real surprise to me, my son is now a district commissioner, having served in Iraq as a Marine officer.  He told me after his stint in Iraq that his experience in scouts was a guiding force behind becoming an officer and doing his duty to his country.  Parents not encouraging this kind of behavior are responsible for lack of leadership and responsibility pervailing society today.  Blame someone else is the mantra of today.  Volunteer??  Hell no,. that is for someone else.
