Yeah, not a good idea if you ask me. It just seems like people looking for attention everywhere they go. Just wear the normal uniform scout shorts.

They didn't cut far enough to account for the debt. It seems like they picked backup business as usual.

Agreed. I had hope that the CST would really help. I would love it if a unit had a question, they go to the district training chair who can't answer it, they go to the district training chair who can't answer it, who goes to the council training chair who can't answer it, who then goes to the CST training chair. They, then, know all of the different resources at national and get an answer. Then roll it back to all the people that rolled the question up. I haven't seen it happen. 😞 I have suggested a few times to go to the CST resource, but everyone looks at me like that would be crazy.

This makes me think of "same store sales" that retail has to report. It would be better for them to report each one of the programs with chipmunks broken out. They obviously won't do that.

It is pretty normal for an org to talk about their year-end numbers as their numbers. This year, 2026, isn't over yet.

Nope. If your YPT expires after 5/31, you have to take the whole new safeguarding youth training before 5/31.

Can you tell he is an outside hire? And in his first year?

Our council has said they will work with other donors to have it be free free besides unit dues. Our SE said it wouldn't be very trustworthy to say "free" and then turn around with our hand out and say "well, you still have to pay us".

One could declare victory as that exists in the Scouting blue app. Is it accurate? Well, the app exists and can show that. But is it accurate? It should be.... but often is not.

This is a good point. For those of us at the far end of the org of a large corporation, legal requirements are just that, requirements. I was on a church board with someone who was pretty high up in a large org. When we said that legal said we shouldn't have wine at a church auction, some of were like that is settle, legal has spoken. This person made it clear "that is the advice from legal, but legal doesn't set the business direction". That was an eye opener for me when you are at the level of a company that sets the direction which may or may not align with legal.

Your understanding is incorrect. They did not “vote to contribute”, the corporation told the court the OA and NESA endowments were protected. They they were not subject to the bankruptcy contributions to the trust. The other side said show us how you did proper record keeping for the funds inputs and outputs. They had no records and had just comingled the funds in the general funds. Thus, they were ordered to contribute the funds. Thus they need to “recapitalize”.

More to participate in the endowment donation program.

The camping requirement has been eliminated for adults.

I'm pretty sure our council does not. I keep asking and often no one knows who the chair is, or they keep pointing to a particular professional. This is a huge issue as one person cannot do it all.
