Not just a driving issue. Two friends (one a 17 scout and the 18 asm) hanging out together by themselves would be a violation. -
I would agree that there are many 18 - 20-year-olds who would not make a good Commissioner simply because some adults cannot accept that someone younger than them is more knowledgeable than they are. I currently cannot think of anyone in my district that I would recruit to be a Commissioner, however there are several in that age range on my council summer camp staff that would do an outstanding job. They are such a presence in their districts that everyone knows and respects them. Not for everyone, but an option for those exceptional young men. I was part of a national webinar for Crews and Posts a few months ago and this was brought up. The gist of the reply from the person responsible for SYT was that this is being looked at, as it causes us to lose a lot of experienced 18-year-olds, and it is generally ignored anyway. -
The answer might be Cataylst. It was announced as going forward at the NAM and is designed to maintain engagement for 18 to 35 yr olds. -
While we cannot generally return to the past without considerable adjustment, this may be one place where bringing our short lived Rover program back might be smart. During its short life, it kept many of the "betweeners" involved. Just a thought. Rovers, in various formats thrive in the larger world. -
Only caution is the YPT or whatever they call it now. If they are active and still in high school "technically" they would not be able to say give a ride home from school for a friend under 18 who happens to be in the troop or in any troop. That would violate the 1 on 1 deal. Not saying it's logical, but not sure what the solution may be.
