On my honor...
Trustworthy - "A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises. Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can depend on him." We trusted you to do everything that you could do and said you would do to protect the land and not sell it to developers. We trusted you when you said "sacrificing Hoover will save Owassipe".
Loyal - "A Scout is true to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school, and nation." You have betrayed the trust we placed in you. You should have fought harder or kept us informed about the financial situation.
Helpful - "A Scout is concerned about other people. He does things willingly for others without pay or reward." You have failed to help our cause sufficiently. What effort you did exert was not enough. How much do board members make yearly?
Friendly - "A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts." The board decided to sell the property quietly, and in some cases over the phone. I think a friend would be more considerate and do this openly and in person. A true friend stabs you in the front.
Courteous - "A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows good manners make it easier for people to get along together." Calling in the vote to sell our cherished Owassipe rather than showing some stones and doing it in person. Lying to us about being able to save Owassipe by selling Hoover. Not letting the scouts know yourselves rather than having them read it in the paper. These people are not very courteous at all.
Kind - To repeat: selling our property when we weren't looking after having told us that it had been saved by the sacrifice of another well camped property of the Scouts'. This was not kind by a long shot.
Obedient - "A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country." You were hired to look out for the Scouts, to do things in their best interests. The one thing that all of the council could agree on was that they did not want Owassipe sold. You have failed this directly.
Cheerful - "A cheerful scout tries to make others happy." Who have you made happy? Not me, not one scouter I have spoken to.
Thrifty - "A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for unforeseen needs. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property." ~ Fuck you.
Brave - "He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right." Selling that property is selling out, it is abandoning what is right.
Clean - No dirt has touched you, unless the phone that you called in your 'sell' vote from was soiled.
Reverent - Do you think God wants that land to be developed into some subdivisions and summer homes for the Chicago elite? That is what is going to happen, in a few years. What about all of God's creatures who will perish because of your sale to 'wise' developers that agreed to put off the gutting of the property for a few years.
Why oh why did you sell it? Such a disappointment you are. You have failed the Boy Scouts of the greater Chicago Area. ... no more words come close... you have failed~ Roger
