One more visit to the B. S. A. subject. The question was - what to do with the Eagle Scout Award? It was earned by my son at a remarkably young age. It was a true accomplishment. Yes? Finish what you start - good resume builder and all that. Well, of course we eventually learned otherwise ---- quite a few years back. Now, what to do with his medal? First instinct - send it back, but, I thought it should be kept as a symbol of his hard work and their "wrong headedness," as we say on the prairie. We could point to it and say --- this was given for high ideals and accomplishments, both of which we hope the B. S. A. will some day attain, as they have yet to earn "their" medal -- so to speak. Or ----- the medal could be shown to his children, and the children could marvel at how things were in the "old days." Of course, you run the risk, of your kids wondering "just" how old you really are!!!!
