      Troop Assessment - Paper Version?

      By ramanous · Posted

      PDF versions is available. Haven't found the official links, but here you go: www.reddit.com/r/BSA/comments/1knhymg/new_troop_selfassessment_launches_today I doubt that national is tracking the results because the online survey have not usable identifing info; they'd get a lot of noise. I.E. I've taken the surveys multiple times just to review what the questions.  I think a notable number of units will refuse to use this, especially if the results were officially tabulated outside the unit. Hopefully it is a slow boil to get units to start using it, then eventually start actually tracking. JTE was too easy to game. My home unit Key 3 liked JTE for that reason. These new assessments are far better at pin-pointing specific issues, as so far the Key 3 have actively refused them.

      Here's a new one - parent wants son to go from Scout to Eagle by Christmas.

      My guess is it’s the parent driving this and the scout is just trying to make them happy. I had a parent kind of like this. Long story short is the council made him a lone scout so he’d quit bothering scoutmasters. Technically the scout was the lone scout but he was just a bystander.

      Bankruptcy Losses

      By skeptic · Posted

      Ventura County Council now has NO camps; the last one is in escrow.  So, the units now have to find other resources, often farther away, raising the expenses to get there.  We technically still have some land above our lost Camp Three Falls, but it is remote and has no upkeep of the few access roads.  Still, perhaps we can find a way to use it, perhaps with water trailers and so on.  Will see.  Found it a bit ironic that the camp now in escrow was sold to a cemetery corporation.  At least they are not going to build houses.

      Glad to hear it will still be maintained as an outdoor resource vs. being developed

      I'm sure she has her reasons. Maybe the family has encountered some challenges and are searching for meaning. In this case, landing on Scouting seems healthy. It could be the pre-teen equivalent of a middle-aged man deciding he's going to go from his couch to a marathon in less than a year. There are sure to be some missteps in his training, but his goal is still admirable ... It's also possible that you're working with a family of grade-A narcissists who are going to drop into your troop life for a short time and make things miserable for everyone as they try to mow down every obstacle in their perfect little boy's way. 😬
