The only wqy to fight this kind of thing is three fold. You have begun the first. Make folks aware of the politics. The second is to get ahold of the CORs, who are the "owners" of the council, they officially vote in or out the leadership. Get ahold of the corporate documents (public access thru the state) and make yourself knowledgeable. The third is to involve the press. There is a story here, and some local reporter is dieing to write it. Google Owasippee in the Chicago Area Council for precedent. And on these pages( if they will work) Follow the money. Who gets the credit for (on paper) making your Council "solvent"? Who retains their six figure salalry? Who would want to buy the camp? In what area? Into what would it become? Would the county zoning board like to hearabout this early on? Once a camp is turned into McMansions, or condos or lake front resort , it will never see a hawk or owl hoot or the tramp of size 6 boots again....

American Labor Merit Badge counselors, take note!!

Still can't acccess theissues/program/Jamboree forum.. So here goes: Have you noticed the SubCamps are all named after Westbygod Virginia Coal Mines? Except that the one in that WB favorite movie, "October Sky" is missing. I think we have a teachable moment here.... John L. Lewis, please call your office!

Not I. Did not receive the VotS survey, but Council emailed to ask I look for it. I went to the National Site and gave a page full to the survey linked on the Home page there.

As you might notice, I have just gone thru the whole list of threads and here is what I found: * The "post reply" button at the top of the stack and the "post reply" button at the bottom mean and do two different things. Might want to rename the top one. Maybe "Write Reply"??? *The forums without my "tests" could not be replied to from my present computer, and some of them not from my home computer, either. * "Patch Trading"... the reply dissapeared when top "reply" button was hit, when the bottom/top button was hit, and when the bottom/bottom button was hit. Start over, and the same result. *Still can't "post reply" on I&P Jamboree subforum, from top or bottom. * Hitting the top "PR" button yields a write window, and a seperate "PR" bottom button. They are not the same as the "PR" button at the bottom of the whole page, and may not yield a posted comment. Hope that helps our virtual cracker barrel caterers.
