I see where Hesgeth is proposing to eliminate support of the Scouts, formally the Boy Scouts. Reading the article, the military support didn't seem all the much, a few jamborees and camping on military grounds, etc. I'm not sure the value of the scouts anymore. At one time there was some emphasis on outdoor skills, but I think there has been a shift more towards community service and personal development. His reasoning somehow was twisted around some sort of inclusion issues. I think young boys have shifted interest from outdoor skills or other clubs to computer games, anyway. I hope he doesn't go after Girl Scout Cookies! I was a scout as was my dad and an uncle was a scout leader. Maybe the time for scouts has passed after some of the abuse issues. Seems like Hesgeth should have better things to do.
