      Catholics turn

      All of them.   Explicit policies.  Controversies.  Societal change.   Churches are not 100% altruistic.  Churches used scouting to advance their own purpose: to develop faith, not directly but thru the side-door.  Even if it's not your own faith, it still helps develop faith.  ...  With all the changes and controversies, charter orgs are re-thinking does scouting really help advance their own purpose.

      Adventurer Dwayne Fields becomes new UK Chief Scout

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      IMHO, you will likely end up with a sore arm and just find someone too slow to duck who may only change the name. "Following a decade of membership decline in the 1990s, Scouts saw exceptional growth when Bear became Chief Scout. It was a brilliant pick (and as a volunteer, he's never been paid a penny for the time he's given). Young people and volunteers, hungry for adventure, decided to join the movement in their droves. Bear transformed Scouts' image, attracted new volunteers* and motivated us all with his ‘never give up’ attitude." IMHO, we could use some Bear Gryll's attitude here and less closed room discussions with questionable growth projection graphs.  Source: https://www.scouts.org.uk/news/2024/july/saying-thank-you-and-goodbye-to-bear-grylls/ *Dwayne is working to recruit more volunteers.

      National Annual Meeting NAM May 5-9, 2024 Orlanda

      Thanks.  These are helpful and worrisome. Revitalize Our Brand and Broaden Our Appeal Says only 3 respondents were aware of abuse claims or bankruptcy. That raises questions of the value of the action plan.  We couldn’t watch television without hearing “were you abused in Scouting?”  The data seems unbelievable.     I get the value of DEI, but that term seems to have become radioactive.  Is BSA behind the curve on how it characterizes increasing membership across all demographics? Still, wholly agree that “If you don’t give the market the story to talk about, they’ll define your brand’s story for you.”  I haven’t seen much of the BSA story pushed into the market in the last 3 months (1 good, long video).  Have I missed something?
