It is Albania. I will say that it’s more correct to say that YouTube chooses not to send ads to Albania, rather than Albania banning it.

Albanians anti ad laws state that ads are required to be safe for children, with the platform being responsible for failure… So Google is not spending the effort to make the ads safe.

Definitely varies on area and by troop. Mine was camping or outdoors twice a month at minimum, and pushed to be very active in all the things possible to immerse scouts in scouting. It really felt like the ideal way for the program to be done.

The biggest downside was that drive to do more in proper scout led meant 80% of outings were messy figure out backpacking trip ideas.

Definitely helped shape my opinions on scouting as a trans woman who was barely able to stay in the program after coming out in time with the policy change.

Some troops are also very hostile to being accepting, and do their best to ward off any gay or possibly gay youth in the first place. So if that’s a concern it is still relevant.

I don’t know the best way of bringing this up, but the Americans complaining about the damage of Trump aren’t the ones who voted for him. They don’t deserve to be doomed to a fate they didn’t choose.

Really great review of things, as well as doing a bit more than just armchair psychology.

Ask chatGPT to do things a normal person can, and it also fails. ChatGPT is a tool, a particularly dangerous swiss army chainsaw.
