Things tend to change when you don't do them for ten or fifteen years.  It
is good.  I always thought the Cubs were capable of going on supervised
outings.  We always had a good time, even if it was just out somewhere
close.  We didn't let them do all the things that the Boy Scouts got to do,
but they were always busy and having a good time.  It is good to hear some
of the changes re: scouting are not like the ones that make the news.
