Hey there and thanks for the AMA! Fellow Eagle Scout here from Troop 309, Riverside District :) Got mine back in 2007 when I was 14 and am glad beyond belief just how involved in Scouting I was, especially given that it was a part of my life since being Bear scout. My brother received his Eagle a month or so ago at the age of 16 and my family is just as proud of that. My dad was a Scoutmaster for 5 years and is currently an Assistant Scoutmaster due to his involvement in a Crew requiring a bit of his time.

Why do I mention all this? I have had to keep my lack of religious beliefs under wraps until I was out because I would risk losing everything should any higher ups not approve of Atheism. I am glad to see at least some of a push to allow for homosexuality and Boy Scouts and can only hope that more and more tolerance be allowed in this otherwise fantastic program. I would not be the person I am today without Scouting and would love nothing more than to have as many people as possible be allowed to at least give it a shot.

As for a question, how long do you see this process or push lasting? As in, how strong is the force opposing a change in sexual orientation requirements? What about religious belief requirements?

I have no sources to cite but a friend of mine mentioned that Pewdiepie makes ~$800,000 per year from youtube alone. Combine that with possible streaming, merchandise, and sponsorship, you can probably expect him to be making at least a million a year.

Since this is your first publishing, I can assume you have been doing something outside of writing to make a living? What have you been doing for the past nine years to keep going?
