I recently found out that the requirements for Second Class now state that boys should only build a fire, but lighting it is no longer required. I wonder how Scouts are to prepare themselves for the outdoors and for life if corners are continuously cut? I don't agree with this change.
I wish that our society would stop making stuff easier. We're not doing ourselves any favors by giving everyone a pass. Life is about overcoming challenges and learning and adapting. If we keeping making things easy, our kids are never going to learn anything and will be helpless in the future. We need to properly challenge young people in order to help them grow and learn.
