      Delaying BOR because...committee meeting for another troop and a holiday?

      By scoutldr · Posted

      We never had a set schedule for BOR.  They were scheduled as needed.  A BOR for T, 1,2 should never last more than 15-20 minutes. They can easily be done before or after a regular meeting if necessary.  We have even done them on a Sunday afternoon to accommodate a Scout.

      Delaying BOR because...committee meeting for another troop and a holiday?

      By Armymutt · Posted

      Well, we are in between Advancement Coordinators.  Weird stuff going on.  The old one announced his retirement.  Another parents was being courted.  She needed some time to make a decision.  When she said she would do it, the CC then decided that it needed to be voted on, but that vote couldn't occur at the committee meeting in progress.

      Bankruptcy Losses

      They're all still doing that from what I can tell, they are just not publishing them to the websites. My council will give you their plan if you ask for it but otherwise it's off the radar.

      By Tron · Posted

      Why is this being driven by the committee chair? At the troop level the advancement coordinator is responsible for arranging boards of review. Additionally, though not the best option, a board of review can be staffed by parents, people from the community, basically anyone with some knowledge of the process that is not a member of the scoutmaster corps.

      Delaying BOR because...committee meeting for another troop and a holiday?

      By Armymutt · Posted

      We have 2 Scouts who need boards of review.  One is going for Star and the other Second Class.  Both finished their SM conference at least by last Tuesday.  Our Troop normally does BOR on the second Tuesday.  This year, that's Veterans Day, and we aren't meeting, for some reason.  The first Tuesday, the CC has a committee meeting for our girl troop because she's also the CC there.  The third Tuesday we have a drug program for the Second Class requirement.  The CC said she doesn't want to pull any Scouts or adults from that, despite the Scouts in question not needing it.  We also aren't meeting the week of Thanksgiving, another questionable decision.  So it looks like these Scouts will have their BOR delayed for an entire month.  The Second Class candidate will likely be ready for his First Class BOR.  Can they be done the same night?
