      1915 Society Endowment Program

      By mrjohns2 · Posted

      Your understanding is incorrect.    They did not “vote to contribute”, the corporation told the court the OA and NESA endowments were protected. They they were not subject to the bankruptcy contributions to the trust. The other side said show us how you did proper record keeping for the funds inputs and outputs. They had no records and had just comingled the funds in the general funds. Thus, they were ordered to contribute the funds. Thus they need to “recapitalize”.

      As I understand it, the National OA is a separate organization/company from the BSA/Scouting America. They voted to contribute funds after the lawsuit in the "Spirit of Scouting". And had they decided not to, there would have had to be legal action internally before the endowments could be touched. Technically. What the truth ended up being is probably only clear to the accountants and lawyers.

      What is Going On With the OA

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      Yes, any thing with a counterweight is banned. Catapults are under heavy restrictions as it was classified as a shooting sport, and has to follow those regs. And those regs have become event tighter.  Page 14 states it requires a NRA Range Safety Officer to e present Page 77 - 79 gives details.

      What is Going On With the OA

      By scoutldr · Posted

      One of our most popular activities was the annual Pumpkin Chunkin with homemade trebuchets.  Apparently hurling 10 pound orange projectiles 100 yards was too much for the lawyers.
