      It's about time that Scouting WOKE up

      By yknot · Posted

      I think this is one of the problems with scouts. Adults are more oriented towards what kids "should" know and "should" do vs. what they want to do, or they are  stuck on nostalgia for the way things used to be for them -- how they experienced it, how they led it.  As the outdoors program continues to wane in importance and variety, adults are boring youth out of the organization.

      Not necessarily.  I see a local team play and there are outfield grass you pay to watch from.  You watch through a chain link fence.

      Silver Beaver to an employee?

      By NealOnWheels · Posted

      See application here https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/92-103.pdf Nominations will not be considered for current or former professional Scouters within five (5) years of their leaving employment with Scouting America. Other council employees (part time or full time) are eligible to receive the Silver Beaver Award based on their volunteer service, not employed service.

      If memory serves, there is a 5 year period that professionals are ineligible after leaving the profession. Do not know if any restriction on non professional staff, ie. office staff, rangers, etc. I do know of one SB recipient who was nominated before being employed by the council, but by the time of the awards ceremony, they were the camp ranger.

      And they are watching people playing a competitive game where the best players have been selected based on their abilities.  Everyone does not get to play, because everyone is not equal in that endeavor.  How ironic...
