@InquisitiveScouter Here's the text of that message: An announcement was made today during the BSA National Annual Meeting regarding Scouts BSA. The BSA has received feedback through member surveys, councils, and other sources that have encouraged a third option be made available to serve youth and their families interested in Scouting. This option would be a “combined troop” option to help serve all youth and families that wish to participate in Scouting guided by the Scout Oath and Law. The National Executive Committee (NEC) has authorized the Scouts BSA Committee to conduct a li

Council contact shared to our unit in a text. Supposedly will be announced later this week in our council newsletter.
-
Hey, got any official pronouncements for this pilot?

And there you go- there is your new logo in that email

They had to have felt more confidence in Scouting America than say Scouting USA re: litigation challenges. They already have logos for Scouting America that I have seen shared in screen shots.

Shaking my head... Nero fiddled while Rome burned Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic or your metaphor of choice...

Now that the rebrand notification is dropping, there are other changes that will begin to be announced. One came from the NAM. As of September 1st, there will officially be a pilot for a "combined troop" option.
-
Why not Scouts of America? Just drop the boy. I think the name change is dumb and should have been done, if it was going to be done, 5 years ago.

@Eagle1993 Not disagreeing with you that the smartest action would be to have the most likely challenger on board before the filing and before any announcement Would you have had the same assumption before the BSA filed its recent round of trademarks and was challenged by GSUSA? Settlement Agreement between the parties is found in this filing as Exhibit 1. https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/b530ab19-6224-4f25-af12-fa7a92aa4b01_10117.pdf One wonders what the BSA will do if the trademark applications are rejected or successfully challenged in an adminis

Yes, see the Inspection Sheet... And, when you point it out, Be Prepared to learn about a cognitive bias we humans have: https://online.wharton.upenn.edu/blog/status-quo-bias/ After you let them know, and show the evidence, please report back, and let us know if the culture of your unit is one of following the Scout Law (A Scout is Obedient), or one of defiance

@InquisitiveScouterso our troop making me button the top button is wrong?

Scouts SA already exists (Australia)... I wonder what the plan is...
-
@BinTharDunThat Welcome to Scouter.com. 1) I would expect they likely met with GSUSA before this announcement and hopefully came to some agreement. 2) Ugh So Boy Scouts went to Scouts BSA and now Scouts SA?

So, its been announced to be effective next February. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/boy-scouts-america-change-name-scouting-america-rcna151063 Questions about - 1) what does the GSUSA think of this? BSA has already had a fight over TMs with GSUSA. The filings above are applications - not yet examined by the PTO for distinctiveness, not yet published for third party prior user challenges. 2) has anyone noticed the abbreviation for this program, or given it much thought in light of BSA's recent issues?

(You cannot make this stuff up... check it out...) Anyone have a contact at National, either Program, IT, or other, who can help us?

No. Undershirts are not required. Want an official source for this? The uniform inspection sheet... https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/510-784(23)-Scouts-Uniform-Inspection-Sheet.pdf Did you know that "In any case, the top button of the collar should be unbuttoned."?? I see this one a lot...
-
The short answer is no, especially if you mean “would proper full uniform require an undershirt beneath the uniform shirt.” I’ve never worn a t-shirt, and even the Woodbadge folks who insisted I turn my collar under and pretend I was wearing a shirt from 1980 didn’t feel it was a requirement.
-
Are undershirts required under bsa Field uniforms? I don't like the feel of a undershirt and it just makes a alerty hot uniform even worse

The Scouts BSA Committee will collect feedback from participants and make a recommendation based on the data on the program to the NEC in 2025. -
