I can't say my entire scouting experience was wonderful, but I loved the time I spent backpacking with my troop. We hiked regularly in the Ocala National Forrest in Florida and took trips in the summer to North Carolina, the Southwest Canyons, and Philmont. Reservations aside, if my children chose to get involved with Boy Scouts, I would love to be a leader. I'd like to give my time like my dad, who planned and hiked the Southwest Canyons trip, did for me. But I can't. The BSA considers me an unfit role model.
