    • You know what’s dumber? A council patch whose name gives zero idea where you are from! Who knows where Laurel Highlands are? A few local tour companies. It’s like going to World Jambo with a “Hemisphere of Lightning Bugs” contingent patch. If fireflies would recruit for me and donate to the scholarship fund, I might see the reasoning. But USA-anything generates excitement and recognition. The point isn’t to create a new council/district for every city, the point is to envision scouts as an extension of a community to the point that communities will care deeply to recruit as many COs as possible host units.
    • I do not think the names of the councils have anything to do with the problems we face; nor will changing them have any real effect. The Titanic did not sink because of her name.
    • That's the greatest dumb answer ever, form more councils. 
    • Glad to see you say what GS wiill decide.  Ultimately they should "want" to work the program and as BP said, have fun.    
    • It's not a spinoff, Mic-o-say is younger than Firecrafter or Order of the Arrow.    Order of the Arrow was founded in 1913, adopted for testing as the single official program in 1922, and became the single Nationally Recognized Honor Society in Scouting in 1933.  By 1953 there were over 500 lodges in the US.  The last one was formed in 2020 at Pony Express Council, where Micosay was Founded. Firecrafter started in 1920, but started it's rank structure in 1919.   Micosay started in 1925, and came to what is now Heart of America Council in 1929.  History-wise, OA was one of the oldest local Honor Societies.  I'm less familiar with Tahquiz Community but it started in 1925 the same year as MOS, just in Long Beach Council. There are only 4 non-national Honor Societies still (Mic-o-say, Tahquitz Community, Firecrafter, and Wolfeboro Pioneers).  I'm a Vigil Honoree in Order of the Arrow, have gone through the Firecrater Program, and now live in Heart of America Council so I have some direct knowledge on those, but I know almost nothing about Wolfeboro Pioneers and Tahquitz Community.
