The news that the Boy Scouts of America filed for bankruptcy amid child sex-abuse allegations is yet another glaring reminder that it’s time to re-evaluate the future of scouting. What will be the future of scouting? Will it be a new virtual scout program online as a safe ‘no-touch’ zone? Or an interactive app where boys and girls can hunt virtual animals and have imaginary campouts? Here to shed some light on the future of scouting is Patti Garibay, co-founder of American Heritage Girls, a faith-based scouting-type youth ministry, recently featured by CBN.
