If you wanna get away from cookies, this is a good place to do it 😜  As long as you stay away from popcorn 😛  

What a surprise (not).  We conspiracy theorists knew this was the plan all along.  Now that the objecting religious sponsors are out of the way, time to make the move.  

Nothing new, only that maybe they are finally listening.  But trial is not really needed in my view, as it is obviously the best option for small units already, allowing them to officially do it.  We all are aware it is already a silent choice for many.

From Facebook   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 limited pilot from September 1, 2024, through July 2025. 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.     More information will be forthcoming. Thank you for your service to Scouting and for providing every young person and their family with the opportunity to participate in Scouting’s life changing programs.
