      Our Organizational is Not Agile

      By InquisitiveScouter · Posted

      OK, so the solution from National was to create a third ID number for this Scout in our Council, and import his record from the other council to this "New Primary" membership, as well as merging the record of his existing "Multiple" membership in our council. This all went in overnight, and the Scout's record looks OK.  Moving forward there... But with all that, his parent now has three ID numbers tied to this Scout.  One of the parent numbers is also still in the old council, where he was a leader, and so it has all of his training records tied to it.  (He wishes to become a leader in our unit as well.)  So, I'll call my friendly neighborhood Registrar this morning, and begin working that piece of the puzzle. Our Committee Chair says he is gonna TRIPLE my pay after this one What is 3 x $0.00??? P.S.  I wonder if Scouts, BSA's membership numbers went up by three (instead of one) with all this??  LOL

      Another lawsuit and of course Media hype. Follow the rules people.

      Probably the only question to be determined in this case will be, "who was responsible for supervising the 5 year old".?

      Our Organizational is Not Agile

      As a unit CC I was once given a trouble ticket when I attempted to clarify a policy issue that had been unresolvable at the council level. I sent the policy, explained the issue, and then went on to receive numerous phone calls from BSA staff who updated me regularly regarding the status of my ticket. This went on for several months as the ticket worked its way up the org chart. Every time I got an update from a BSA staffer it was delivered with conviction that my ticket was being handled with utmost scout professionalism and responsiveness. Finally, I was called and informed that my answer was imminent by email. When I received it, with my trouble ticket number noted in the subject line, it was a three line recitation of the exact same vague policy I had sent in in the first place. They almost don't know how cheerfully incompetent they are.

      If its a nation registration then national is responsible for your action a local registration moves the liability to the local concil level and then to unit CO level. Not sure if you can register as primary council level position.
