I reapproached it tonight without success. Poor excuses about not having a meeting due to holidays and how important the drug presentation meeting is. I guess we're not going back until Dec and he'll have to do two BORs. He already did the drug class last year. For some reason the CC insists on doing one every year and the kids can't miss a single second of it. Since the temporary SM who insisted that he was done at the end of the year has now decided that he's staying on for another year, I don't see a need for me to attend every meeting. I was told, if they were 17, then they would do one, but since the kids are 11 and 13, they have plenty of times. For a troop that holds the G2SS as almost a Bible, they play fast and loose with the Guide to Advancement. -

Just prepped my notes for the parents meeting, and for the Scouts afterwards. This hurts. -

Well I told College ASM 1 yesterday. He took it stoically, and knew it was coming via dad. College ASM 2, although listed as "Scout," was informed today. He took it really hard. He thanked me for calling him and talking to him about it. -

@MikeS72, thanks for the excerpt! "Any remaining assets obtained with funds raised in the name of Scouting must be redeployed for Scouting use in the local area. " I would hope the unit committee and CO would do the redeploying, as their decisions would, of course, be more in line with their wishes. Our council camp is becoming a graveyard of trailers and gear, particularly canoes... The council does not have the time, expertise, or money to fix these assets up to make them salable. -
I would hazard to guess that most units and COs do not read everything before signing. This is cut and pasted from the most recent version of the Rules and Regulations of the Boy Scouts of America. Council or Unit Assets Upon Dissolution Consistent with the Bylaws, in the event of the dissolution of a council or the revocation or lapse of its charter, the Executive Committee may, at its option, authorize the National Council to assume charge of the affairs of the council and continue operation pending reorganization or re-establishment of the council or wind up the business of the council. All funds and property in the possession or control of such council must be applied to the payment of the council’s obligations. Any surplus funds or property may thereafter be administered as deemed to be in the best interest of Scouting. In the event of the dissolution of a unit or the revocation or lapse of its charter, unit funds and assets must be used to first satisfy any outstanding unit obligations. Any remaining assets obtained with funds raised in the name of Scouting must be redeployed for Scouting use in the local area. Any assets obtained with funds from the chartered organization or parents of registered members may be redeployed as agreed upon by the chartered organization and local council. Any property or funds acquired by the National Council upon the dissolution of a Scouting unit or local council will be administered so as to make effective, as far as possible, the intentions and wishes of the donors. I would read the first highlighted line as money raised through things like popcorn sales, camp card sales, or other unit fundraising and therefore subject to redeployed locally. I would read the second highlighted line as perhaps something like a unit trailer that rather than raise funds for, parents all kicked in and bought, in which case the CO could lay claim to keep.
