OFFICIAL NEWS RELEASE: Girls as Youth Members, All Programs
RememberSchiff replied to John-in-KC's topic in Issues & Politics
I am waiting for the Girl Scouts to announce that they will now sell popcorn too! -
Here Youth Protection training must be taken every TWO years. Five years sounds more sensible but then we likely have more child abuse litigation. Once and done works for me. In our general program, there is NO first aid training requirement for adult leaders. Some camps and activities, e.g. Philmont, may require leaders have CPR and Wilderness First Aid training. Doesn't make sense to me either.

Pinned. Now available in Forum Support & Announcements. -
Maybe my unit is a fluke, but he have more parents (dads) who were scouts than our registered leaders. In their view, there is less hassle and cost in just informally helping than formally registering as a leader. I like your smart use of "family camping" to demonstrate scouting and recruit adults say once a year or two years. How often are your adult leaders required to take youth protection training?
-
Some questions: What percentage of your scout leaders were scouts? Reading posts here, my impression you have a higher percentage than we. Do you have "Family Camping" in your program? Modest Proposal: Maybe we should relocate BSA HQ to Britain for this transition.

Well stated @@njdrt-rdr , @@Tampa Turtle IMO, more scouters will leave over National's lack of trustworthiness and leadership and invasive Family Camping than girl membership. -

How do you choose which leaders/adults go to camp?
RememberSchiff replied to mashmaster's topic in Open Discussion - Program
Offline, decide how many and which adults you want, then individually ask each to volunteer. My $0.02 -

Okay the debating teachers are eating at Applebee's or Olive Garden. Let's stay on topic. -

National trustworthiness and leadership in the decision-making and planning here are in doubt. -

Conversation or bickering? My point is stay on topic, the debating coach argument is not relevant. -
Is the BSA the only scouting organization with age overlaps among its programs? From the Scouting Association Cubs (8-10 yrs old) Scouts (10-14) Explorer Scouts (14-18) Scout Network (18-25) No overlap, no poaching.

Getting girls in a unit to wear the same colorful necker may be a challenge.

Okay debate points made. Where is the transition plan and its goals or will National pay an outside consultant firm to produce one in the next 3 months (God help us)? -
Well what were results of the pilot programs prior to this decision?

IMO, I think officially "local option" will require pre-conditions. Rather than the nonsense of staff and train months later in time for re-charter, it will be done before a unit can locally opt to be coed. My $0.02 -

We knew this decision was coming, but I had hoped when announced a transition plan would be articulated.
