In many ways it seems Scouting has succumbed to the "every child a winner" nonsense that has schools giving passing grades to those who do not deserve, make that earn, them. I would be very surprised if the current flock of "eaglets" could rise to the challenges required of Eagle Scouts in 1965...

As far as my views on scouts wearing the kilt is concerned, the search engine is your friend...
