I was a Boy Scout and I enjoyed my time in the BSA.Response by LTC Stephen C. made Apr 7 at 2015 12:43 AM2015-04-07T00:43:29-04:002015-04-07T00:43:29-04:00GySgt Joe Strong576463<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well, the only issues I can think of are potential public accommodation issues or if all the adult leaders were deployed at the same time.<br />Other than that there are probably Troops outside most major bases that would happily welcome both the Adult help and the influx of boys.Response by GySgt Joe Strong made Apr 7 at 2015 8:33 AM2015-04-07T08:33:43-04:002015-04-07T08:33:43-04:00TSgt Private RallyPoint Member576648<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was assigned to a base that had a scouts program. The leadership was a nice blend of military members and adult dependents. This prevented the potential for no leadership being available due to deployments. <br /><br />Depending on the size and type of the base, there might even be room for additional youth-oriented programs like the Naval Sea Cadets, the Young Marines or the Civil Air Patrol cadet program. One thing that I do agree with <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="246004" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/246004-gysgt-joe-strong">GySgt Joe Strong</a> is that if these programs are available off base and close by, those groups would definitely appreciate the additional members and adult help. I personally am involved with the Pathfinder Club, a world wide scouting program associated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church that rivals the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.Response by TSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 7 at 2015 10:23 AM2015-04-07T10:23:55-04:002015-04-07T10:23:55-04:002015-04-07T00:30:43-04:00
