It's all yours! It's a common phrase it my region used to question whether a benefit is worth the effort. In the case of Scouting, I think we can all agree the juice is really sweet, but our hands occasionally get sore from squeezing. -

Exactly. I think the cooler heads at National understand their entire program would die if they lost the support of adult volunteers en masse, if they threw one adult involved in a situation to the wolves, and then lost control of the narrative surrounding the incident. Bad PR = loss of adult volunteers = loss of program = loss of Scouts = loss of Boy Scouts of America doing business as Scouting America = loss of their paycheck This is already happening in other areas, forcing Scouting America into survival mode (make no mistake, that is where we are right now). And I, too, often question whether "...the juice is really worth the squeeze." (Love that phrase, and I'm gonna use it, and not even give you credit ) -

To that SE, I would say "be careful what you wish for," because there are many leaders out there (myself included), who are doing our best but often wonder if the juice is really worth the squeeze. Per the article: The soft, sphere-shaped projectile was not the problem here. This seems more like a case of a 3rd or 4th grader just being a huge a-hole. @skeptic, you've touched a nerve here because this is my biggest fear as a volunteer. As hard as we try to keep things safe and fun, there are constantly factors beyond our control working against us. And yes, we can eliminate activities perceived to be more dangerous. And yes, we can have more leaders present. But then what are we really left with? -

Great question! Even with all the "threats" I've heard and hand-wringing I've seen, I have yet to confirm one case where BSA did not step up and cover the volunteers leaders in their settlements... Anyone out there have an anecdote? -
Releases are not as good as you may think .there is a expecting of due care but gross negligence is not covered. Some outdoor activities have gone as far getting state law level coverage in my area horse back riding is at that level. They could not get insurance otherwise.
