I am saddened and disappointed by the LDS Church’s decision to leave the Scouts BSA (formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America).
I have fond memories of scouting in my LDS Church-sponsored troop as a young boy. I remember attending summer camp at Steiner and East Fork of the Bear, where I learned to rappel and paddle a canoe. I broke both of my legs in (separate) accidents on scout trips and once had to be airlifted out of Big Cottonwood Canyon in a helicopter, but that didn’t stop me! I stuck with it and eventually earned my Eagle, as did my four younger brothers.
