Unpopular take, but my kids have loved the non-lds scout troop. It’s so well

Not unpopular. That’s how it always should have been. Calling people into scouts that don’t want to do it

I always felt the problem with scouting under the LDS umbrella...

I’m sure that a total volunteer scout group is more fun. Not really a surprise.

Yeah but do they make their scouts actually know stuff at the board of review?

I think people are more down on scouting as a mandatory church organization.

I loved scouting until I became a leader and had to go to round table

As a scoutmaster I went to one round table and vowed to never go back, and I didn't.

You didn't really have to go to round table. Even if you thought you did.

One thing that hurts is LDS troops are so small in many cases.
ReyOso

Also our church troops being made up of only 11-13 year olds. Made it very difficult to keep

Agree, it would have been better to combine as a stake or whatever was needed.

We briefly had a "stake troop" and "ward patrols."

The Church probably wouldn’t allow any of those activities.... so ya. People

That was a prolem for me as a kid. The church had imposed some arbitrary

I've heard of stakes like that. I was lucky growing up in the stake I did in TX.

The one stake I was in in the US during my youth was from TX and our trips were similar. All funded by Brisket BBQ

Just curious - are there any girls participating in your troop? I’ve wondered

My kid is in the liberalist liberal part of the country. Zero girls out of 25.

That’s kinda what I figured. Girls have a high functioning, excellent

I feel like allowing girls into Scouting weaken both Boy Scouts AND Girl Scouts

It's shockingly cheap. It's like $175 to do the week long canoeing trip for

If your kids aren’t into sports $1100 is cheap.
