The Scouts were originally a small elite organization.  This
organization has to be much larger and more inclusive.  (How were
candidates selected or involved?  Were there many candidates and many
washouts, or few candidates and few washouts?) <p>

It's easy to be more inclusive simply by vastly increasing recruiting,
but you have to think about retention of people who would have been
considered marginal in the original organization.  That means lowering
standards in some sense.  You could create an elite corps at the top
which continued executing the original Scout mission, but this tends
toward double-standards, and will have to be carefully looked at. <p>
