Several years ago, it was our troop's SPL who kind of stopped things during the opening ceremony and reminded the Scouts that it is "I pledge allegiance," and not "I pledge of allegiance." He did a good job handling it with humor. And he didn't single anyone out, although that would have been difficult, since over half of them were saying it that way. 🙂 As for the comma, my poor sainted first grade teacher taught it to me as "one nation, under God," and she wouldn't be wrong about something like that. Finally, when I was a Scout a long time ago, we _always_ repeated "a Scout is" for all twelve points of the Law. I was kind of surprised when I came back as an adult and nobody did it that way any more. -
Slater responded to Larry and Tim's motion. At first glance, the Slater firm's stance is Larry and Tim do not have any evidence that Slater committed ethical violations and the court does not have jurisdiction nor the authority to grant the motion. However, the court does in fact have jurisdiction on the matter and authority to grant the motion. The Trustee notified the court of the issues with the Slater firms claim submissions and the firm agreed with the Trust and took full responsibility for not using due diligence when vetting claims. The Slater firm did not address ANY of the ethical violations they have been accused of. They did bring up the accusations against the firm but did not shed light on what really happened and why they did not inform their client of the Trust pause and the 14 months of radio silence when their clients inquired about the status of their claim. Larry and Tim also filed for a subpoena today which will shed light on how the Slater firm handled vetting and processing claims and any business agreements the firm had to share their clients fees with other firms and/or contractors. The Slater response today amounts to shooting from the hip in the dark, and praying they hit something. Also, the Trustee filed a separate response on a particular aspect of Larry and Tim's motion. She stated the Trust did not come to a "settlement" with Slater, they came to an agreement with Slater about the neutral 3rd party review of Slater Claims . But it sounds like Judge Houser is just back peddling. Judge Houser has a habit of quoting the definitions of words and phrases in her her motions. If you look up the definition of "settlement". !) Settlement: An official agreement intended to resolve a dispute or conflict. 2) A settlement is a resolution to a dispute, conflict, or debt through a mutual agreement. Here is a link to Slater's objection: https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/460e708b-e6a3-4859-a859-c5c33c5be0bb_13217.pdf Here is the Trustees response to Lary and Tim's motion: https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/9cbffb0a-e37d-4b3c-addf-e61fd5501a7c_13220.pdf -

I won't respond to surveys that won't share the summary of responses with participants. Drives my employer nuts I won't respond to semi-annual employee surveys, but such is a qualifier for my participation -

Dear InquisitiveScouter, [name change 😜 ] Scouting America, in collaboration with the Harris Poll, is conducting a landmark study to better understand the values that define our nation — where they come from, how they evolve, and how they influence our lives today. As a valued Scouting America alumnus, you've been randomly chosen to participate in this exclusive survey. Your insights will help illuminate the role Scouting has played in shaping the character and values of generations of Americans. Your responses are completely confidential and will only be reported in aggregate. The survey takes less than 20 minutes to complete. This study is only conducted once every 10 years — and only a select group of alumni are invited. <SURVEY LINK> [REDACTED] Please note: This survey link is unique to you and can only be used once. Kindly do not forward it to others. Your perspective matters. By participating, you'll be contributing to a deeper understanding of the values that unite us — and how Scouting continues to make a lasting impact. Thank you for being part of this important effort! Patricia Wellen Research Director, Scouting America Pat.Wellen@Scouting.org ------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Patricia! Question... if my survey is to be completely confidential, then why issue a survey link that is unique to me? To my regret, I believed BSA once before on this. After giving my opinion on what could be fixed in the organization, particularly with regards bloated and unresponsive staffing, poor IT support, and an unnecessary number of councils with overpaid council employees at the higher levels, our local council executive blacklisted me and removed me from all district and council positions. No, thank you! Regards, Inquisitive Scouter -
