Can you give some examples of what wasn’t up to snuff? -
My experience is that council doesn't do much more than get the final signature and send the package off to national. In my council everything is done at the district level, I am not even sure if we have more than a paper council advancement committee. -
The kid probably passed out with his foot on the accelerator. The trailer may have very well saved his life. I know far too many young adults for whom it ended differently. -
LOL ... Yes. "always" is too extreme. ... So ... For the last 20 years or so... and my council definitely ... Your whole experience is why the BOR instructions include "review". If someone has already checked the dates, signatures, etc, then the BOR "review" part is mostly moot. With ScoutBook advancement reports, "review" is even more almost moot. -

That is incorrect. Councils verifying the records of the Scout prior to the EBOR is relatively recent in BSA's history. Like since the late 1990s/early 2000s. Maybe even later as my memory is going. But I do remember I was denied my Eagle because the council records were messed up. Had to use my BSHB and the signatures in it to correct the councils records, and get my Eagle. Same thing happened to several of my friends, as well as several of my Scouts. And I do not know of any council checking Eagle project paperwork. In none of the councils I have been in, have Eagle Project paperwork. That has always been the responsibility of the EBOR. Now paperwork is the responsibility of the council, and they do check it. BUT the unit leadership now has access to those records, and can correct them. In my neck of the woods, unit leadership usually double checks the records prior to printing the application, and sending it to council for their approval. Which IMHO makes council approval redundant now.
