My local lodge posted about this on Facebook yesterday.
The comments (about a dozen or so at the time) were all negative about the change.

In my eyes the biggest losers here are the Cubs. As a scout I did perhaps a hundred Arrow of Light, Cub colors,or crossover ceremonies, and as an advisor I have watched perhaps a thousand. The one thing that was constant was the look of awe and wonder in the Cubs eyes. They just loved it. It was often years later when they were inducted into the order and joined the ceremonies team they would tell me they had wanted to do this since they were 10 years old, since that magical night by the campfire when the chief gave them their Arrow of Light.
Agreed. I looked through the posted ceremonies briefly. I don't think they come close to having an arrowman show up in regalia. If I was a cubmaster, I would probably not do the ceremony. Just have some guys from our sister troop attend. Would probably be about as effective.
I like the idea of dropping sashes and going rogue!!!!!

E94,
Thanks for posting the reference.
I agree with you and Oldscout. OA is losing a part of its identity. Moreover, its losing a very important way to promote itself to future members.
I am truly saddened by this.

Remember that advancement is only one of the methods of scouting. It has a tendency to overshadow the other methods in people's minds. but as long as he is enjoying it and you believe that he is getting something out of the program, I'd say not to worry at this point.

Your can always leave the lame SM and son, go to a troop that has it's stuff together! NO elections...that is a MAJOR red flag right there!!
This is the approach that came to my mind as well!

'Round here, the scout and his parents arrange the ECoH (pick the date, hall, type of ceremony, etc ...)
We do this in my troop as well!

I like the recommendations. They look well thought out and useful at other units.
