      Chapter 11 announced - Part 14 - Plan Effective

      I think you meant to write: "Yeah that's the lawyers keeping the BSA on the hook. They're playing the BSA for more fee's and services."

      Tron, below is a link from BSA's lawyers dated September 2nd of 2025 noting that there remains "litigation challenging BSA’s plan." Nothing says "done" like having an AM Law 50 firm write to the Supreme Court on your behalf. It could be over soon (as many hope it is) but it's not. https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25/25A256/373546/20250903151402603_BSA Letter Opposing Cert Extension 9-2-25.pdf  It doesn't really matter what any of us think because there are multitudes (probably too many!) of lawyers and insurance professionals reviewing the coverage, making estimates and suing to have the insurance companies pay into the Trust. The real question is: why do you care?

      Here's a new one - parent wants son to go from Scout to Eagle by Christmas.

      To truly understand the program and how it needs to be ran, people just need to read so much more than they want. I've turned down being SM twice, and I'm bring probed for a third offer now; by the time I know the program well enough to be a good SM all of my kids will be in college 😛

      Maine Outdoor School for All - a new competitor

      By Tron · Posted

      It was free back then, but that was a completely different era. Clock hours and minutes were not bird dogged by the Department of Education; we literally did those courses during school time. I remember everyone doing the long term swimming training and evaluation for water survival being in the school pool for like 3 hours instead of going to regular class. With all the federal overreach into the local school programming the programs I went through could never happen during instructional time today; they would have to be all after school programs which the districts would have to pay teachers overtime for. Geez, this summer every pack in the area got a taste of those non instructional time janitorial fees at all the local schools ($150 an hour, they really didn't want the packs in the schools June-August).
