      Video recording a bike ride

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      Here's a 3 minute video of scouts and adult leaders biking.  My question how did they get the changing camera angles?

      Next merger

      By BetterWithCheddar · Posted

      It looks like the Northern Start Council (Twin Cities Area) absorbed 2 of the Voyageurs' Districts, but I couldn't figure out where the other Districts went (assuming to either the Central Minnesota or Northern Lights Councils). This merger resulted in what has to be one of the more oddly shaped Councils in the country: Northern Star Scouting > About Us

      Quality Council Evaluation

      By Tron · Posted

      Backstory: Last year at the national meeting there was a few references to Quality Assurance coming back to replace JTE. That did not happen (or has not happened yet).  Today I spoke with a couple people from different territories and it would appear that at the CST 5 and the CST 6 annual meetings it was briefed that there is a new council evaluation tool coming out this year. It does not sound like a JTE replacement, it sounds more like a council being audited by national tool. Has anyone else from the other CST' heard of this? Was it briefed there or at any other territory or national meetings? Has anyone that is going to the national meeting in a couple weeks heard if this is getting briefed there?

      Next merger

      By Tron · Posted

      I did not want to start a new thread so I figured I would tack this onto here. It would appear that Voyageurs Council no longer exists and was carved up to the other councils adjacent in Northern MN.

      Chapter 11 announced - Part 14 - Plan Effective

      By clbkbx · Posted

      May 1 update: average $557,053 per TDP claim. For the TDP, 47% claims determined and 25% paid (14,285 paid, 58,103 claims) For the IRO, 20% claims determined and 6% paid (14 paid, 217 claims)  If the Trust were to stop here, just based on claims paid amounts (not determined), they would need just shy of $8B. I think that is getting near the max amount if all insurance companies settle.  The average claim has increased each month (from last month, an increase of 4.2%, so above the COLA which I don't believe was applied the entire month). The COLA incurred to date (based on paid claims) is $190MM, but likely none of that will be realized in any way, it's just going through the motions.
