Not saying it is impossible for a MM to operate as a predator, just that it is less likely. One corps had one mentioned on Reddit.

As I said, I think it is possible, and a predator who is determined will find a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, starting in the '60's, it moved away from those sponsors? Maybe this crisis is the result of no longer centering the activity around leadership that put "good, wholesome values" in front of competitive desire. I know I've read histories where multiple corps started by local churches didn't care how well the group competed, they cared that the kids were kept off the street and out of trouble when they weren't in school. Once again, when money and winning become the most important thing, we sacrifice our souls and the future of our children for our short-sightedness. What BSA, church or veterans group could afford to sponsor a corps now. Cost of equipment alone is prohibitive compared to bitd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
