John,
I agree with you that we don't want to see a repeat of the lottery
fiasco. I felt like we were totally powerless to do anything. As you
say, at least you can reserve a couple of years in advance if you miss
out on the next year when you call.
When I was directing a conference at the Philmont Training Center a
couple of years ago, I got the impression from Philmont that council
contingents get some priority. So, that may be an alternative for
you to consider in the future. However, I hope we do NOT start making
single unit requests through the council. We then return to having the
request handled by someone other than yourself. If they are not as
diligent as you'd be, you could lose out . . . just like in the lottery.
As full of "bugs" as the current system may be, I hope we won't make
major changes unless there is truly a better way which still leaves some
element of control with the local unit.
