I think that we should have a group and mentoring programs accomplishmed by now. This is the kind of motivation that came across my mind; especially productivity. Scouting, on the whole, means a whole lot to me, and I really miss it. The sad part about the Girl Scout USA is that they did away with the full-standard Girl Scout Uniforms and I find that so depressing to me. It makes me want to do Scouting with you and you might as well start working something out as of right now and get a small group going. Thank you very much.

I am glad you recently spoke to some other people who like the idea. I would like it to be very versatile too. It is something you can do by yourself, but I would like to do it with you. We can become Scouts in the United States and Canada. Or we can become American Heritage Girls. You can be my mentor and I can be an American Heritage Girl Mentee. The American Heritage Girl Website is http://www.ahgonline.org, and you can look it up on your browser. Thank you very much. Cordially, Valerie Klaassen Dear Rae Raggs,

I think that there would be interest if people were presented with the idea. I would like it to be very versatile. Something you could do by yourself or with a group. Just have a central website to get ideas from, order the badges you earn and a forum to share your experiences and post pictures. I dont want to have to go to weekly or monthly meetings, but if people were so inclined to organize that themselves they could.

Why not? Let's all be Scouts. Cordially, Valerie A. Klaassen I do not see why adults cannot earn merit badges either. Why not? Let’s all be Scouts.

This is a positive attitude and a peace of mind. Thank you very much. I will be looking forward to hearing some more Scout Stuff and Adult Merit Badges Program whenever it comes true. I really hope that dream comes true and this new Scouting project for adults will come through in God's time. God is never in no hurry, but he is always on time. God bless you.

There doesn't seem to be enough interest to make it worthwhile to develop a program like this right now--at least from my perspective as a developer. Maybe one day...

I am sick and tired of staying stagnant by being the center of attention by doing too many things behind my husband's back and making too many phone calls to the BSA and the GSUSA. It's wrong, and every adult men and women should be a Scout. Last week, I just turned 54 on Thursday July 2, 2009. Why don't you work on forming a Co-ed Scout Program for adult men and women over 21 without an age limit. I think that this is a great idea that you are trying to do in the long run. Let's just go ahead and do it, since my plate is full. I do not have to worry about getting into big trouble with my husband anymore. I am serious about Scouting. It's fun and entertaining. It will make a big difference in the United States of America. I live in Northern Virginia in Fairfax County, the Mailing address is Alexandria, Virginia. Thank you again for your time. I will give other a fair chance to write their comments about the adult merit badge and adult co-ed scouting program that will come about soon. God Bless You and Let Freedom Ring.

I very truly want to become a Scout earning adult merit badges, because I am not qualified to be a leader or assistant leader, knowing that I am mentally handicapped. Will you please return my email, and give me an answer. Since my plate is full, I would love to do this on my spare time through a Scout Mentor, and I don't really want to be a leader of the Pack or Troop. That is way over my head. Thank you for sending me back your reply and I am looking forward to it. God bless you and America. Let Freedom Ring. Thank you. I love Scouting, and I really don't want to stay stagnant in Scouting. Adult Merit Badges are and being a Scout is right for me. I am a Pathfinder at the CPC Panthers Pathfinders Club with the Potomac Conference and it is very similar to the Scouts. I earn my Honors and sew them on my black Honor Sash. My Pathfinder Uniform is Black and Khacki.

I am glad that I found you, and someday when the time is right, I will become a Scout all over again with a new positive outlook on my life. Thank you very much.

I tried Girl Scouts as a kid, but the troops around my home didn't really do that much. I always really wanted to do the Boy Scout stuff my brother was doing-earning the merit badges, learning practical cool stuff, etc. I would be really interested, especially with an online type of program. I actually looked up current merit badge requirements online and am thinking about unofficially trying for them, but it would be way cooler to do it with other people. :) I think this is a GREAT idea!!!
