Bethlehem Tp Boy Scouts Learn to "Hurry Up and Wait"


Fifteen aspiring Eagle Scouts receives a valuable "Hurry Up and Wait" lesson before March 7's Bethlehem Township Commissioners' meeting. Although the meeting was scheduled to start at 7 PM, Commissioners were delayed about fifteen minutes by an executive session concerning "potential litigation matters," according to Solicitor Jim Broughal.

The scouts, who were welcomed by President Arthur Murphy, are members of Troop 317, chartered by St. John's UCC at 8065 William Penn Highway. Led by Scoutmaster Gary Volland, they've produced 3 Eagle Scouts in the last year, with a fourth on his way.

    These young men all deserve our respect and admiration for their dedication to scouting and it's ideals. Unfortunately in this day and age, it's hard to find young people with any kind of goal other than the self serving. I certainly hope all these young men reach Eagle rank and continue their interest in their community.

    It will be a welcome change.

    Your disdain for the BSA is no excuse for slamming these young men. Anonymously, of course.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
