I don't know that I would call it "woke". Seems like democracy is a foundation of the country. As qwazse said, they can vote with their feet. That's probably a less desirable outcome than having a mechanism whereby the Scouts can decide they want a new adult leader.
No, but nothing would surprise me in this new generation of "wokeness". Adult leaders serve at the appointment and pleasure of the Chartered Organization. The Committee can recommend potential candidates. The PLC can voice their opinions, I suppose. But election? Nope.
Your council is "supposed" to have an Enterprise Risk Management Committee that should review this...
Good Luck,

It's a great idea and good on you for trying but liability is the issue. They are in no authoritative position to confer any kind of credentialling and if an incident occurs it opens a can of worms that could only lead to enhanced liability. It's easier to just say park it and drive in.
