Without commenting on verbiage, having had first-hand experience with a 1678 blue banner I can say that it absolutely is about scouting. Not that it isn't also about other things, but I'm utterly positive that these nice folks would would have fewer medals (and so would we!) if not for their incredible scouting work. It's not sufficient, but it is absolutely necessary the way they play. I suspect that Mike was implying necessity rather than sufficiency with that comment.
