And those national volunteers who do have unit connections, and voice their objections get outvoted and eventually removed. I knew one national member working on the 2015 Cub Scout program. Although he crossed over to Scouts, he still had a lot of Cub Scout connections with his old pack. He asked for ideas, shared thoughts, etc. the 2015 Cub Program was a game changer. It was more active, required a lot more planning to coordinate things with the different dens, BUT it worked if you prepared. 2015 program got watered down in December 2016, and he was removed from the committee. In fact no one from the committee knew anything about the changes until after they were announced. -
One of the big issues to me with the "professionals" is that the ones making decisions especially at the national level are not associated with a unit and have no accountability to the consequences of new or changing policies to units. The volunteers at the national level who "vote...all in favor say aye" are guilty as well. The "blame the units" is commonplace. -
Was there a slide in a presentation that showed the trendline that anyone has and can share? Was there a breakdown of the 500K? 30% Chipmunks, 30% Lions, 40 % Eagles? 😁

The quality of out professional leadership is garbage, they keep changing requirements and processes without any consideration for the volunteers, creating further problems and hassles for volunteers to deal with. Fixed it for you. -
My viewpoint is based on literally talking with people and making sure they understood what was coming and they blew it off. I'm a unit trainer and I literally had a leader tell me this was their excuse to exit the leadership and blame national when I reminded him 72hrs out and asked if he needed any help. The quality of our leadership is garbage; I can't do the training for the other leaders and (in my unit at least) they refused help prior to the cutoff and are now blaming national for screwing up.
