      A shallow AI dive into some current views regarding the Law Suit and the evolved YP issues and the larger public issues and legal system.

      That won't return, not least of all due to liability issues. Scouting needs to evolve into an organization that is able to offer more paid professional support to unit level volunteers so that they can deliver functional, safe, consistent programs or it won't continue. Maybe you'll still have a few vestigal hubs of nostalgic activity around high adventure locations or some of the larger council camps, but it won't be able to function nationwide without some kind of support.

      OMG: Cubs absolutely do need to camp. Cubs that camp are almost guaranteed to cross to a troop.

      I heard one say, "Cubs don't need to camp." This was at a program conference. Thankfully no one else heard him.

      camp usage

      The illustrious council camping committee, ever faithful to have more concern over control and power than getting the scouts camping. If Scouting America had an annual or bi-annual camping nights sleeping in a tent or bare ground rule every member of the district and council camping committees in my council would get the boot. A buddy of mine heard the council camping chair say (in seriousness) that he hates camping.

      Read my answer above instead of being combative. Someone at your council did it and blamed national. Someone at your council has no respect for you and made you manually fix what they could have had done with a 100 character script by national.  It is a double straw argument now. Internet has existed and been available for longer than Scouting America/BSA having online tools.  It is what we have everywhere. Somehow, somewhere, sometime, someone introduced this idea that scouting has professional scouters that do everything or anything. We need to get back to the roots of the program and understand that is, and always has been a volunteer based program and if you want scouting in your area you have to recruit a team of volunteers.
