      SPL reports to committee

      By fred8033 · Posted

      Scouting units should scale up and down depending on resources and interest.  No no youth scouts want to be leaders?  19 inactive scouts and 7 active scouts?  Sounds like the structured program is not the best.  Perhaps there is something wrong there.   ... Fine.  ... For now, the troop adult leaders should scale back to focus on providing an active fun program.  Camp outs.  Activities.  Fellowship.  etc, etc, etc.   Troop should not worry about a structured program that develops youth leadership (for now).  Plus IMHO, the best lessons for youth leadership happen naturally thru the troop being active.  Helping each other set up tents.  Naturally by cooking meals.  ... As soon as scouts show interest, adults continually step back into the shadows and let the scouts naturally lead scouts.  It's a dance.   To the SPL:  My advice is the same to you as to a seasoned adult volunteer.   Don't be a victim.  Don't sacrifice yourself to save a unit.  You have a life.  You have choices to make where you want to spend your time.  If it's in scouting, that's your choice.  ...   It is 100% okay to step back.  ... In fact, I think it's a good idea for you.  ...  If I was your parent and saw you have a job, I'd be very proud.  Fewer youth work to earn their own way these days.  ... In high school?  I'd expect you to need to scale back.  ...  Keep your health.  Keep your sanity.   Celebrate life and the journey you are on.

      Oct 3 (Reuters) - U.S. District Judge Richard Andrews in Delaware declined to stop the Boy Scouts of America's $2.46 billion abuse settlement from moving forward, saying that stopping the settlement in its tracks would be both impractical and unfair to the many people and organizations relying on it to resolve abuse claims. Gilion Dumas, who represents some of the abuse claimants who have appealed, stated she would ask the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overrule Andrews.
