My first thought as well. Police bodycam-

Cutting off support for the national Jamboree that occurs every 4 years would be no big deal, and apparently is the only change that requires justification to Congress.

However, severing all ties to Scouting would be a big misstep and the classic cutting off one’s nose to spite your face. The military went all-in on DEI, LGBTQ, and a woke agenda – even more so than the Scouts. Now Hegseth has fixed the military but says the Scouts are beyond repair and wants to cast them aside. Organizations change gradually over time and if we want to get the woke out of Scouting, the solution is not to chase out all of the military families and pinch the pipeline of Scouts that go on to military service. I read that 1/3 of military members have a scouting background, and 10% of service academy grads were Eagle scouts.

The local troops I know in our area have changed very little over the past 10+ years, even if some top-down changes have been pushed (e.g. Citizenship in Society merit badge). My son’s former troop remains an all-boy trip and still does a monthly campout, with 12 months of activities planned by the boys each September.

In just the last 5 years or so they’ve done Philmont twice (12-day summer trek in NM and a 5-day winter adventure trip), snow skiing, built monkey bridges, went snorkeling in Destin (stayed at NAS Pensacola), canoeing, kayaking at Swampbase in the the Atchafalaya, hiked the 12-mile Vicksburg battlefield trail, waterskiing, summer camp in NC, TN and GA, fishing at Grand Isle, crawfishing, skeet and target shooting, black powder rifles, horseback riding, and countless Eagle projects. We know we’re doing something right when parents remark how much their sons have changed after a high adventure trip like Philmont.

Several troop members have been kids of service members who joined troops at each deployment location. Their dads are great adult leaders, facilitating campouts on the property and even a tour of the control tower at NAS Belle Chasse for the aviation merit badge. Many troop members have gone on to military service, including an Annapolis grad who is in the nuclear sub program. One was an at risk borderline suicidal kid who got involved in scouting and has now been in the Army for 6 years. Scouting provides leadership and self reliance skills that is very hard to find elsewhere.

Honestly the main concern the Scouts have with recent changes from national involve rules that take risk (and some fun) out of it. Things like the bans on paintball, dodgeball, and no homemade zip lines (that was a thing on our wilderness survival trips), etc.

I’m not one to write to politicians but I can’t sit by and let 100 years of partnership with the military disappear with the stroke of a pen by someone who hasn’t a clue what goes on in a typical unit (most of which remain all-boy or all-girl troops).

TL; DR - There's still much to be gained by both the military and Scouting by continuing their long-standing relationship, and the core tenets of the organization foster incredible positive change in young men (and now women), when properly put into action by competent local units.

We'll be in that number.

Always enjoy shows at Chickie. Saw James McMurtry there and Samantha Fish was in the crowd, just there as a fan.

I think they a good idea whether they'll have an SRO crowd or room for tables and chairs and set up accordingly. Joshua Ray Walker played a couple years back and they had tables and chairs over most of the floor - he even said something about not being used to a setup like that. But it was a small crowd.

Veteran attorney Tom Mars, who has represented multiple high-profile college coaches in employment disputes, sharply criticized LSU’s approach; “No school has ever won a ‘termination for cause’ lawsuit — even when they could allege grounds with a straight face,” Mars said via X (formerly Twitter). “Thus, it seems unlikely that LSU could set a new precedent when everyone in college sports is laughing at them for taking a position that’s absolutely absurd.”
