      Your council is "supposed" to have an Enterprise Risk Management Committee that should review this... Good Luck, https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/healthsafety/pdf/680-026.pdf

      It's a great idea and good on you for trying but liability is the issue. They are in no authoritative position to confer any kind of credentialling and if an incident occurs it opens a can of worms that could only lead to enhanced liability. It's easier to just say park it and drive in.

      Six years ago I proposed a solution to the concerns you expressed to be applied at the other Council owned camp.  There the camp driving policy was more restrictive and the roads even less well maintained.  The attached Driver's Competence Award concept was submitted to Council and ignored.  I even had a Scouter with a CDL willing to teach the courses.

      Thoughts on Scouts electing the Scoutmaster?

      By Armymutt · Posted

      I spend a couple hours each day in the car driving the kids to and from school, so my brain wanders around.  One of the musings I had was, Can Scouts elect their Scoutmaster?  Has anyone heard of such a thing?  Can the PLC decide that they want a new SM and hold an election?

      There is a Scout camp in northeast Ohio that used a farm tractor towing a hay wagon to haul troop gear into their campsite.  Staff does not handle troop gear.  I am not sure the practice continues.  I have been told it took hours to get into the campsites.   At the northeast PA summer camp I attended as a Scout in the middle 1960's we walked our personal gear in over a box truss footbridge straddling a creek.  Then everything you needed for the week would fit in a Yucca pack.  The current "suggested Scout gear list" barely fits in a 90 liter plastic tub.
