      It appears that the decision is done; see letter.

      Good analysis.  Also, there has been the alignment with scouting as a reflection of this nation and the recent growing pains of the nation.   Scouting got too caught up into too many current political debates.  Dancing a fragile line between some faith emphasis / churches support and a secular government / outdoors focus.  Scouting has had to survive all the changes ... and it's been painful. IMHO, the "family focus" is a good way to avoid saying "coed"; but it sounds like it's the same thing.  I wish I was more active now to see the changes.   I trust in 20 years, scouting will be better off.

      IMHO, the membership was inflated for a long time. When I was a DE in the 1990s, I can tell you phantom units and Scouts existed. Anyone remember Ronnie Holmes and the Greater Alabama Council?  https://www.heraldnet.com/news/ghost-unit-scams-haunt-boy-scout-operations/. And don't think it was just Alabama. It was all over. If you tried to clean up the mess, your performance reviews were poor because you took a loss in membership and units.  Also LDS units registered all eligible youth, regardless if they wanted to be a Scout or not. Heck one LDS pack was completely in name only, and the Scouts were meeting only to play basketball.  Those two factors are why I think we are seeing a "rightsizing" of Scouting America today.

      After months of "piloting", an important policy change, i.e. "Coed Scouting"  "family troop option" is announced and in common National fashion, the implementation details and other supporting documents are not available. There are rumors of a 5-page Best Practices PDF?  Contact  your Council for information! IMHO, a scout program with leadership development, outdoor adventures, and reduced membership costs grow membership. Dragnet recruiting not so much. My $0.02 or is it a nickel now?
