I was only in it for a couple of years, but I'm glad I was able to experience the original Boy Scouts.

Inevitable.
The decline in the Boy Scouts of America can be illustrated succinctly by comparing the BSA hatchet I had as a Scout (and which I still have) to the piece of dreck they sell today:

I can't find an image of the current offering. A friend across town has (or had) one. It's a cheap, Chinese piece of junk that Harbor Freight would be ashamed to sell. Flimsy, tubular steel(?) handle. My friend had it in his camper. He said every time he tried to use it the head flew off.
