Dude. What are you getting at? Some of it may be. A few posts back someone gave you a ton of references. A SM can use these and work with the SPL. You seem to be getting at something none of us here are getting. Are you trying to find an indisputable reference to make the SPL comply? I don’t know think you’ll find it. What are you really getting at?

Many of these are national employees. Ours are. I have heard some aren’t. I assume that is for low volume, or marginal operations national chooses not to staff. Then the council would be the reseller.

I don’t believe this is the case with our council. We have 2 registrars at this point, half the year both focus on registration and half the year they focus on camp registrations. At one point, some councils paid a fee to a national registrar service where their registrars were basically outsourced to national. Our council did not do that.

This is such a poor and untrue choice of words. They should never use this. The better phrase would be something about an organized distribution of funds so that all get something. Not anywhere near fully paid, nor is the debt incurred ever gone. Yeah, they should stop saying that.

I hope those councils in that position have been in talks. I know my council, before this round of inflation, thought they could cover from the endowment without changes in future spending due to endowment growth.

I don’t think you do. Your response is very bizzar-o. This is a fun tool they the SPL can use. People have been kind and quoted original resources. An SM can share that with the SPL. The SPL can then choose what, if any, methods to use. If the SM thinks the SPL got it wrong, then they can talk. Patrol yells are super informal and very very minor. I don’t understand why you are putting them on such a high pedestal. I’m not getting what you are getting at.

So, what about the non-settling insurance companies that didn’t agree? How does that get resolved? Is that only upside? That is more money into the trust? Who lays the legal part of getting those to settle?

This is a great find and seems clearly within the “rules”.

My current council? Yes. Very good about it. My later father’s council? Not at all. After the very poor experience I had with them, I said they should never be surprised why their endowment is short of funds. I will never be surprised why they sold our beloved camp.

I assume if the council didn’t pledge the land, then they keep the excess as they are paying money. A more specific question is what happens to the excess of land was pledged and it greatly exceeds the estimate? What if it undersells?

They get added to Scoutbook 24-36 hours after they are registered. No RSVPs other than for registered adults, parents, or a Scouts. No access beyond your own children if you aren’t registered.

You have to be an admin in both units and select both units with a check. We do that for joint pack, boy troop, and girl troop activities. It isn’t perfect, but not bad. The email thing will be sorted out.

This is possible with a Scoutbook. It doesn’t have the website hosting. We do that at GoDaddy.

Sept 1, they need to be registered as well if overnight.

At what milestone does the org “leave bankruptcy”? To me that is when this wrapped up.

They aren’t a unit leader. Just a parent helping. What is your question?

Oh, no, yeah, they talk through that. That is when the rubber meets the road as a patrol to know who is going , who is buying food, and who is tenting with whom.

Interesting as the youth members of my troop want the Native American imagery removed.

Sure. That is why it was a troop family campout, not a pack one. It was natural for the Webelos, but all families were invited. For example, we had a mom and her older and younger kids last year. From there, her daughter attended all campouts. We could tell her mom was skeptical, but the time on the campout helped a lot.

We tried to help that with a family campout with 2nd year Webelos and the troop, but I guess that is over.

Outings? No. Food (menu) and who is buying (grub master), by patrol.

We use Scoutbook. We have the due date as the meeting the week before the week of the event. We are flexible when we can be about deadlines.

This is too bad as this is a key resource in our district and council. That committee is key in approving individual advancement plans and merit badge subsitutes.

Yes, sir.

Ok! I’ll try to remember tonight. I’d love the feedback. I truly try to live in a robust glass house with my uniform.
