      Our Organizational is Not Agile

      By yknot · Posted

      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.

      Yes, why not just have a National Membership, with that registration portable through all councils and units. You can already establish multiple memberships in multiple units, with one remaining primary.  Why not let the member determine where their primary membership resides?  Seems like a no brainer to me, but I'm sure there is something I'm not seeing, or remain ignorant of, in spite of my best efforts to understand the system...

      Yet another reason I, and many others, do not trust National's IT systems.
