IMHO, we are having a scoutlike, rational discussion here. There is more to discuss such as the ways to respond to misinformation and hate. Membership policy being set - what discretion do units and CO's currently have? Can a CO say only our congregation can be members? Can a troop still be single gender? If a policy is set, can a member can speak out against the policy without detriment to individuals. Censor and/or respond factually to online comments what is the BSA online policing policy on various platforms? I would very much like to hear Glen Pounder, BSA YP Executive, address

There is certainly more hostility and rudeness everywhere today. IMHO, correcting character mistakes by following the Scout Oath and Law is part of the game's purpose as is having the Courtesy to express our thoughts civilly and listen to other viewpoints. Maybe uniformed Scouts should, once again, be at all voting locations this November? My $0.01 for rambling,

Just to clarify my thoughts on BSA membership policy. I disagree with it (among other things) and I will speak out - in a scoutlike way to bring about IMHO positive change for kids. In moving forward, I believe we can reach workable compromises if we can agree it is for the kids. That said, we have seen repeatedly where membership policy has changed before there was the necessary prerequisite education, facilities, and resources in place. Be prepared. ~RS

As many local Councils have in the past ten years, National needs to re-evaluate the financial viability of their assets and program delivery solutions. Let questions be asked: Rebuild local camps? Can we afford Summit or will annual membership fees continue to rise to cover mortgage payments? Do we need a permanent, large Jamboree site? Have any Jamborees held there been self-sustaining financially? ... Another $0.02,

Jack Furst 6:23 "... the model that we want to us for this project is a corporate for-profit model that is a capital investment that will serve us well for the next 100 years.

Planning for Neurodiverse Scouting
RememberSchiff replied to RememberSchiff's topic in Open Discussion - Program
In my experience, additional adult training (Wilderness First Aid, Suicide Prevention, Autism) is often more effectively taught by volunteers at the Council Level by drawing in local expertise. Agree delivery should include virtual and streaming delivery. My $0.02, -

Brought back some camp memories... "WHYY’s (PBS) arts and culture reporter Peter Crimmins first became interested in radio in the fourth grade, when he smuggled a contraband crystal-diode radio into the Boy Scout summer camp. Subsequent radio projects were more successful." https://whyy.org/person/peter-crimmins/page/175/

Emergency Prep MB Requirement 7 done right (CT)
RememberSchiff replied to RememberSchiff's topic in Advancement Resources
Cinnaminson, NJ: Another example - scouts portraying victims in a mass casualty drill During the (mass casualty) drill, which was designed to simulate a high-intensity emergency situation on NJ TRANSIT’s River LINE, the Boy Scouts pretended to be the victims of the staged transportation accident. The exercise aimed to test the response capabilities of local emergency services, including first responders, transit police, and medical personnel. The drill scenario involved a mock collision between a car and a train, requiring a coordinated response from multiple agencies. Troop 13'- 13 replies
