      How to save a rapidly dying Troop.

      By Tron · Posted

      Post NAM, post the status update of the coed pilot, post everyone now being told that the pilot is an overwhelming success; we're definitely going coed. The thing that confuses me is that the pilot was supposed to end in July 2025 and results available, and now that has all been punted to December 2025. What does that punt mean? Is someone fighting the success? Do corporate lawyers need more time to get documentation of the program together properly? Is national trying to sneak a few extra bucks with 1 more double charter fee for the coed units? what what what does it mean?

      Youth Protection Question

      By Tron · Posted

      I am going to guess that it's a teacher/student thing. I know several teachers who are also scout leaders in my community; technically if they are walking down a hall after school when there are barely any people present and a student who is also scout is walking down said hall and there is no one else there; wouldn't that technically be a YPT 1v1 violation?  The real answer is that Scouting America was put over a barrel by the lawsuit; a lot of victims were assaulted outside of the auspices of BSA but the perpetrator was someone they knew from within BSA. Now we have these rules that make no sense.

      How to save a rapidly dying Troop.

      Off topic now, but I certainly hope that's what's going to happen. In a generation, GSUSA is going to have a real struggle on their hands if they don't open up membership to boys. Gender segregated scouting is niche, and once enough time has passed for everyone to know off the top of their heads that Scouting America is coed and the girls growing up in Cub Scouts now have kids of their own, there will be as many moms as dads who fondly remember their scouting youth and want to share scouting with their kids based on what I just saw at cub resident camp. I think that's what we're all doing as parents - whatever experience we had in scouts as youth is what we want to share with our kids. Right now, moms who were Girl Scouts with daughters want to share Girl Scouts with them, and often do. My cub and I are usually the only mother-daughter pair with no boy siblings in the family at events. Moms who were Girl Scouts but who have boys have to put them in Scouting America if they do scouts; but dads who were Scouting America scouts can now share that with all their kids. Once both US-born moms and dads were Scouting America scouts... I predict the same fate for GSUSA as other girl guiding organizations - niche. The vast majority of people want coed scouting and Scouting America now has first-mover advantage in the US. The longer GSUSA delays in letting boys in, the harder it will be to make up the time for all the reasons Scouting America has just gone through. Or, I suppose, they can just experience what our single-gender units are experiencing now.

      How to save a rapidly dying Troop.

      By HashTagScouts · Posted

      In the two years of fumbling it took us to get enough girls to start a girl troop, we lost five kids (two sibling pairs + 1 friend of of one of the families) from out of our own pack to a neighboring town because they had a functioning linked boy troop and girl troop. We managed to get our stuff together to charter a girl troop with minimum #s that next year, but by year's end one aged out and one of our female adults moved. We were down to four girls going into 2024 and knew one would age out over the summer, so the mixed gender pilot was the saving grace for 2025. Very doubtful that BSA is going to drop that, and would bet the farm that by 2026 it is just one of the membership options that any unit can use.

      Youth Protection Question

      By PACAN · Posted

      There are careers that may require one-on-one contact with youth, however aside from those roles,    This is the line that I'm not sure what they meant by adding it.   Employer/Employee?  Doctor/patient?
