      It's about time that Scouting WOKE up

      By MikeS72 · Posted

      Not universally enforced.  No such requirements in my council.  I facilitated this MB with Scouts from multiple districts multiple times and all I had to do was add it to my current list of MB's.

      Fully agree. I understand my council knows they will merge with another council; however, that council is not in great shape financially and likely needs to close a camp or two.  My council is holding off on the merger so they aren't blamed for the camp closure.  I'm sure there are many similar stories, so national will have to step in. During the bankruptcy a small/secret meeting was held by a fee national leaders.  Their PPT slides were reviewed in court but never added to the docket.  They included recommendations for a major reduction in councils among other ideas.  It is needed and hopefully coming.

      Silver Beaver to an employee?

      By InquisitiveScouter · Posted

      I served Scouting multiple decades without that recognition.  Later in life, I was blessed with success in the markets and large retirement pension, and so made a donation to our local council endowment.  Was awarded SB that same year.  Coincidence?

      In my council the SB is just another good-ole-boys club award. A few years ago a person got the SB who was not even position trained, never did anything other than make up his own non-sense, had to be removed from a committee due to incompetence. There is a very active volunteer scouter in my council who has a group of about 20 of us (this year, the number varies by year) trying to get him the SB for several years and we can't even get any feedback as to why he keeps being denied. And councils and national wonder why volunteers take their time and money and walk away from the program.

      Rural units are struggling due to young parents moving to metro areas to have consistent work. We have a very geographically large rural council in my state. They are fighting demographics which is not their fault. Where I am at the further you get from the big city the more socially conservative the people are; this VERY rural council decided to jump into the fight against Hegseth and pop off about DEI publicly. I expect that they will hemorrhage several hundred youth and adults before the end of the year and accelerate their march towards being merged out. Sometimes these council leaders need to shut up and just let all the arrows hit national.    We're going to have mega sized councils regardless; we actually need them. The administrative infrastructure and overhead of Scouting America is a pre-technology based structure that is BLEEDING funding away from program. National needs to force mergers, tell councils they need to embrace remote work and tele/video conferencing. Every DE should live and work in their district, not at council HQ. Every council HQ should be a tiny hole in the wall or a cabin on the council camp used as basically a logistical hub to feed the districts.
