      What?? You've Got to Be Kidding Me with These Membership Numbers!

      Rural units are struggling due to young parents moving to metro areas to have consistent work. We have a very geographically large rural council in my state. They are fighting demographics which is not their fault. Where I am at the further you get from the big city the more socially conservative the people are; this VERY rural council decided to jump into the fight against Hegseth and pop off about DEI publicly. I expect that they will hemorrhage several hundred youth and adults before the end of the year and accelerate their march towards being merged out. Sometimes these council leaders need to shut up and just let all the arrows hit national.    We're going to have mega sized councils regardless; we actually need them. The administrative infrastructure and overhead of Scouting America is a pre-technology based structure that is BLEEDING funding away from program. National needs to force mergers, tell councils they need to embrace remote work and tele/video conferencing. Every DE should live and work in their district, not at council HQ. Every council HQ should be a tiny hole in the wall or a cabin on the council camp used as basically a logistical hub to feed the districts.

      No... just Google, but the response does use an AI assist. None of that was legal advice, btw.   That is an outline of what civil law suits could be brought and how they would be looked at.  Nothing about that tells a client what to do. The only advice I gave to @FireStone was "I urge you to let the parents in your unit know (tactfully and discreetly) if there is a transgender child in the Troop, and allow them to decide the best course of action for their own child."  Which is what any reasonable person should do.  And you do not need a law degree to be a reasonable person.

      You went on a Chat GPT binge of legal advice and opinions.

      Clearly stated "check with legal counsel in your state."

      Is the expectation that a birth certificate will be attached with every application?  What about states that allow gender to be updated on a birth certificate, will we only accept the first print?
