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

      By Armymutt · Posted

      We got notification that there will be Boards of Review this Tuesday.  It's starting to feel like there's an intent to hold him back.  Normally the BOR night is the second Tuesday.  The plan was for him to have his SM conference this Tues so he's ready to go next Tues.  All of a sudden, the BOR gets moved up a week, so he can only do Second Class, even though all he needs for First Class is the SM conference.

      CORs : change

      I was just thinking about the annual district meeting and what not. Who are voting members? Past members-at-large?

      By mrjohns2 · Posted

      Yes. Based on what BoR are supposed to be, I hate hate hate retests. It is solidly against the G2A. If you really really wanted to put the scout on the spot, and split hairs, have him tie a bowline. Pass him when he isn't able to but talk to the SM about the issue. That is close to the intent of the BOR. How did the scout do, how close is the unit to true north. A review.

      CORs : change

      By mrjohns2 · Posted

      That is automatically available in my.scouting. They were given an invite and agenda. I don't know if those 3 will show up again; they were polite, said why they came, but didn't seem enthralled or ask a lot of questions.  Back to the original point of the post. I see this not only as removing a barrier to mergers, but also as the first step in changing the policy away from chartered organizations. Maybe not, but this does lay the groundwork for that to be simpler.

      The notice from National responding to NPR report of DD considering dumping Scouting

      By skeptic · Posted

      I did not get any esponse, but I have challenged them to actually stand up for the basic tenets of Scouting and to not just use their "support" or being an Eagle as some kind of additional reason to tempt people to vote for them.  I do not see many of them living the tenets in their so called leadership positions.   If they did, perhaps we might actually see something positive develop in Congress.  I get the impression many of them do not understand how poorly they are living those tenets, if at all.  Certainly few are serving with Honor, or "doing their best", if the results we have are any measure .
