Never underestimate the motivating power of the almighty billable hour. Stack enough of them together and you’re on the Express Train to Bonusville!

Was that before or after the BSA changed its policy? I couldn’t tell from the linked article.

Gay scouts are welcome in the Boy Scouts. Gay leaders are welcome in the Boy Scouts. Trans Scouts are welcome in the Boy Scouts.
