  1. That was easy to predict. Merit badge mills. Hard to hold the line when just replace you. Part of the reason the eagle badge means less.
  2. "Volunteer lead" and "youth lead" are two phrases that are frequently repeated throughout scouting, but are rarely truly implemented. Be a volunteer who questions, and you will not be in that position next time around. My question here is, legally, where does the buck stop if a scout gets hurt at a district event due to failure to follow Scout rules, such as those related to short-term camp? Scoutmaster unit CO volunteer planning commissioner is a DE or ranger if on scout property. So it's truly volunteer-led if you agree with the professionals As to youth lead no real training or trainers are time by venture age yes at 10 no
  3. What type of fees does each council pass on to the national level? Wondering what the fees to the council will be if there are fewer councils. I must agree that adult training is a joke. The few DEs I knew well enough to talk honestly, their training was just as bad. Ask one about a YPT question, and his answer is that it is coming in level 2 training.
  4. Or they get tired of your calling them out (correctly) to many times they tell you that your services are not needed. But still send you FOS requests.
  5. I will disagree; if it happens, no matter what the reason, it is a scouter issue. The sad part is, where does the buck stop? With the professionals, who are the ones who should be high-level watchdogs, being the least trained and can be the last to unset the offending high-level volunteers, it took over 20 years to get them to stop using torches with the OA
  6. Ok, what other side losses would there be? Sold camps and properties Loss of other jobs. Staff and camp personal Even more loss to FOS due to the loss of local connections. Most likely a house of cards that is falling apart. I'm not sure if it can be reversed under the current system.
  7. So no problem with the. Kerosene. (Major violation of the BSA policy) also use by under age scouts in can viewed as child endangerment. Why have rules
  8. What's saying they won't be .if SA can make money on it, it will happen.
  9. The issue is what unit is responsive if a she is named is named in a problem.
  10. Sorry, it led to that. The advancement rules for bor retesting are clear; they serve more for feedback on the process. That all the way up and including the E-board once it's signed off, it's done. I'm not sure why, perhaps because it's a small new troop, but why are adults doing most of the skill checks off? EAGLE BOR are more likely to get the Scout to tell their scouting story and future plans.
  11. National would never have it, as it would cut down on the sale of new uniforms. Great idea for the scouts, not sure the current cost of a new uniform plus patches.
