Hopefully not. It would be a real loss to all of us. And DUG, if you're reading all this (which I hope you are), I think you left the conversation prematurely. I thought it would be worth reprinting a line from Ken's most recent post: "I actually think well of scouting, in spite of their various faults, and I think they do a lot of good."

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
