What we need is fewer councils. There's a lot of executive staff that can be eliminated and their salaries can be used to fund program. In this age of telecommuting and cloud computing I am not sure if we even need council HQ buildings anymore; just shift that maintenance line item to camps and let everyone work from home in the communities they are supposed to serve. -
There are several charging over 200 just for the council fee.

There are 4 according to beascout.org, which considering the size and density of Syracuse I will admit is a pathetically small size. Syracuse is weird though as the city is sort of starfish shaped with a lot of urban sister cities (14 total counting those cities) packed in tight to it comparable to how a midwestern city of the same population would just have neighborhoods. I would be less concerned about the troops and more concerned about the very low number of packs. It takes 2 or more packs to sustain a troop and there are only like 6 packs in the city, about 20 in the metro. The city itself only has a population of 148k which for being the hub of a 600k metro is tiny; the "suburbs" significantly out number the "big city" compared to other metros. It's not the last troop, there are at least 3 more according to beascout.org the city isn't as big as it seems. The fact that the city has only 6 packs is the real problem, I would say that at least 2 of those 4 troops are going to fold within a year or two because there are not enough packs to sustain the troops. This "last troop in Syracuse" might become true within the decade.
