Cub Scouts

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. 

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 .  

or maybe a testimonial marketing campaign.  

I guess that's reason enough for district/council leadership to have a distro list and send out actual agendas eh?   

Ugh these stories hit me hard in the gut. That chairman was taking the easy way out. He should have manned up and went to the SM and asked him what he needs to make sure all of the scouts can tie the core knots.
