The SM and I talked yesterday about our philosophy with the program. We agree that it's not Cub Scouts and mastery is the standard. Let's face it, we aren't talking about things that are all that difficult, and the expectation is that if you are going to be in the club, then you need to actually fulfill your obligations to the club. I won't sign off on my own son's stuff without him having a level of mastery that I feel is acceptable. Some things are pretty simple - put the flag up once and I'm satisfied that you know how to do it. When it comes to first aid or safety items, I want to make sure the Scout is confident and competent at the tasks required for his/her rank level. -
PDF versions is available. Haven't found the official links, but here you go: www.reddit.com/r/BSA/comments/1knhymg/new_troop_selfassessment_launches_today I doubt that national is tracking the results because the online survey have not usable identifing info; they'd get a lot of noise. I.E. I've taken the surveys multiple times just to review what the questions. I think a notable number of units will refuse to use this, especially if the results were officially tabulated outside the unit. Hopefully it is a slow boil to get units to start using it, then eventually start actually tracking. JTE was too easy to game. My home unit Key 3 liked JTE for that reason. These new assessments are far better at pin-pointing specific issues, as so far the Key 3 have actively refused them. -
My guess is it’s the parent driving this and the scout is just trying to make them happy. I had a parent kind of like this. Long story short is the council made him a lone scout so he’d quit bothering scoutmasters. Technically the scout was the lone scout but he was just a bystander. -
Ventura County Council now has NO camps; the last one is in escrow. So, the units now have to find other resources, often farther away, raising the expenses to get there. We technically still have some land above our lost Camp Three Falls, but it is remote and has no upkeep of the few access roads. Still, perhaps we can find a way to use it, perhaps with water trailers and so on. Will see. Found it a bit ironic that the camp now in escrow was sold to a cemetery corporation. At least they are not going to build houses. -
Glad to hear it will still be maintained as an outdoor resource vs. being developed
