      Scoutmaster's Report to Committee

      By Double Eagle · Posted

      How about a good look at the "Journey to Excellence" worksheet and head towards at least a Bronze rating?  All those KPI can be ok, but wouldn't an advancement rep best report from their seat?  SM is not a committee and should stick to SM stuff while committee can dig deep into expenses, advancement, recruiting.  Pretty much the team while the SM is quarterback.

      I would lead with: 1) Is the PLC running the Troop well? 2) Are new scouts <2 years integrating well into the activities and patrols. 3) Are AOL scouts attending any meetings and outings and has that gone well? I think the other items are fine, but some should also come from committee members themselves (advancement chair, etc.).

      Looks like Blackberry (RIM) stock price.   I expect BSA numbers will be similar.  I still believe in scouting but a lot has to change for it to grow again and I don't think those changes will happen.
