      I've noticed that the quality of the OA has gone down.  It's become more of the BSA party society.  My youth experience was only at the chapter level, the chapter covering all of the UK, Iceland, and Norway.  We held our own Ordeal and Brotherhood ceremonies.  I remember the entire chapter essentially did the Ordeal with the candidates.  Some conducted OA business, but the other remaining few were out there working.  In the evening, everyone was present for the ceremonies.  I think it officially has changed form the honor society to the service society, but every rank requires some sort of service hours.  I'm not sure how the kids will find that to be a draw.  It's no longer anything special until you reach Vigil.

      Palms as Recorded in Troopmaster

      By swilliams · Posted

      For anyone who uses Troopmaster: when viewing a scout's advancement, and you click on "Palms", the participation requirement shows up with a notation about # and the year 2024, and it lists 90 days participation. Does this mean the requirement to wait 90 days after earning Eagle before being awarded Palms is back in place?  Or is this just Troopmaster weirdness?  This is my son's record.  He has 30 completed MBs (one not entered yet, so 29 "officially"), so with instapalms he would have had at least a bronze.

      Coed Troops

      Venturing has been in decline, our entire District is down to 1 crew.  There w as a rumor that a new program Rovers? that could replace venturing.  I think Rovers would be pushing the upper age limit of Venturing.    Edit... Rovers look like option post Venturing.. https://tidewaterbsa.com/rovers/

      Maybe that is why the Venturing Director made that announcement. To quote Han Solo:

      Coed Troops

      Another random thought... When we offer the option of fully coed Troops, will there be an ongoing need for Venturing?
