I always thought Patrols are guided by the Patrol Leader. Now, the SPL guides the PL but the SPL should not be guiding the patrol nor should the SM (directly) - that usurps the PL function. -

Bennington, VT "Liam Lynch, 17, died last December after a tragic single-car accident in Bennington. Liam was just weeks away from completing his Eagle Scout community service project, something he had worked on for several months. The project involved building an outside classroom and gathering place for his beloved school, Grace Christian. According to his father, the plans for the space were sitting on his desk the night he died." “Liam was an amazing scout and an amazing kid," said Jim Poole, Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 353. “Being an Eagle Scout takes years of commitment and dedication. Liam really set a good example of what it meant to be a Scout. He was a great kid and loved this school with all his heart. It is only fitting that we can see his vision to the end. Liam started this. We are all so privileged to help him finish it. He was so close to finishing this. To be able to get this complete is huge. This was the last thing he had to do.” “Liam thought it was a fantastic idea to get this done for the school, Mike Lynch, Liam’s father, said. “I think it’s fantastic that after the tragedy, the first thing the scoutmaster said was that they were planning on having the Troop finish what Liam started on his behalf. This means the world to us.” His fellow scouts completed Liam's Eagle project.

That kind of ended with a whimper. I wish those that are involved all the best of luck. -

Sent on behalf of Alison Schuler, Chair of the Bankruptcy Task Force and National Executive Board Member, and Joseph Zirkman, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Scouting America. Today, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit dismissed the widest ranging appeals of the Bankruptcy Court’s plan confirmation order, which were filed by a small group of dissenting claimants and holdout insurance companies. The Court’s decision is a resounding victory for survivors of historical abuse in Scouting, and it is the culmination of more than five years of tireless efforts by survivors, Scouting America, Local Councils, Chartered Organizations, settling insurance companies, and other stakeholders to equitably compensate survivors and preserve the mission of Scouting. By dismissing these appeals, the Court has assured survivors that the Settlement Trust established under BSA’s plan can continue its essential work of providing financial compensation to survivors. The overall settlement fund for abuse claims is valued at $2.4 billion with the opportunity for additional contributions by numerous other parties, including the BSA’s insurers that have not yet settled. Since it was established in April 2023, the Trust has distributed more than $138 million to approximately 20,000 survivors. Today’s decision ensures that the Trust’s work can continue without interruption. The decision also ensures that the organization can continue its mission of preparing young men and women to become responsible, participating citizens and leaders guided by the Scout Oath and Law. On February 8, 2025, on its 115th anniversary, the organization officially became Scouting America, reflecting its ongoing commitment to welcome every youth and family in America to experience the benefits of Scouting. More than a million young men and women currently participate in Scouting America’s programs, affirming the importance of Scouting and its values-based programs to American life. Yours in Scouting, Alison Schuler Chair of the Bankruptcy Task Force and National Executive Board Member Joseph Zirkman Executive Vice President / General Counsel
