As a female I was not allowed to join the traditional Boy Scouts. I am an APO
brother, I am NOT a boy scout. I see no reason to know all about a
organization I do not belong to. While it is important to know that APO has
its roots in boy scouts, the list of presented information is rather
irrelevant for most chapters. However, some chapters are heavily involved
with their local scouts and could use the information. Therefore, the
following information should be available but not recquired. And this is a
much longer message than I had in mind. So I leave you with this - I am not a
boy nor am I a scout, I am a brother of APO.
Thanks,
Sherrie Ann
