The quality of out professional leadership is garbage, they keep changing requirements and processes without any consideration for the volunteers, creating further problems and hassles for volunteers to deal with.
Fixed it for you.
My viewpoint is based on literally talking with people and making sure they understood what was coming and they blew it off. I'm a unit trainer and I literally had a leader tell me this was their excuse to exit the leadership and blame national when I reminded him 72hrs out and asked if he needed any help.
The quality of our leadership is garbage; I can't do the training for the other leaders and (in my unit at least) they refused help prior to the cutoff and are now blaming national for screwing up.
I was skeptical of his 'facts' right of the bat with the comment the Boy Scouts have disappeared, (we have not); and the claim that in the latter half of the 1900's 20% of boys were Scouts.
We discuss membership numbers every month at our Council Commissioner meeting. While it has looked bleak for a while, at least in my council, numbers are starting to stabilize. We have more units this month than we had at this time last year, and while only by a handful, we have more Scouts than the same time last year.
I am hopeful that some of the changes coming out of NAM will result in meaningful improvements and will put us on the path to sustainable growth.
