Nope. If your YPT expires after 5/31, you have to take the whole new safeguarding youth training before 5/31. -
Oa is owned by and for bs camps . A week long stay where housing and meals are provided is not near the starting idea of a week long event with patrol cooking and activites in tents you carried and set up. My first years our troop did its own. My first time going to council camp was for an event i won. -
Way to much . I will make it much simpler start with summer camp where they have 100% control.

You say sadly; however, a multi patrol troop can easily put on a resident/long term camp on its own for a fifth of the cost and get all.of the non MB experience in without the annoyance of being on a campnwide schedule. If OA took the long term camp requirement out the resident camps.in my state would easily lose 25 to 50% of their campers. -

As others have said, national won't change things because it hurts their bottom line. Heck they encourage. I remember one council in FL was given all kinds of praise in a NAM video on the number of MBs they awarded during COVID. Sadly this is the attitude of too many parents. Summer camp is supposed to be more than MBs. The attitude is why a camp will give Basketry away, when Scouts did 1/2 the requirements. That is why summer camps give away Canoeing to folks who spend 15 minutes on the water every day, and when the Scouts go on a canoe trek with the troop, cannot do basic maneuvers. And I can go on.
