To me, one of the hard parts may be dealing with the egos of the adults from the combined units. The fight will be over who's in control. This is the way we did it; no, we did it this way. Does not change the cause of the failed units. Until we address the reasons youth are not coming or staying, scouting will go the way of G-scouting.

Does not trained; does it release national liability if you mess up by doing something you're not trained to do?

The answer you will get we must fund raise to be able to assist the units. As time and supplies cost plus funding for other council servises plus my salary.

Mine are poorly run and attended for 3 weeks

Count me in that group that made the mistake, thinking national would force them to fix the safety issue

Oa is owned by and for bs camps . A week long stay where housing and meals are provided is not near the starting idea of a week long event with patrol cooking and activites in tents you carried and set up. My first years our troop did its own. My first time going to council camp was for an event i won.

Way to much . I will make it much simpler start with summer camp where they have 100% control.

NO feedback; another paper filed in the trash. The only action from council would be if the youth did not receive their mb, as when parents complain. There is no QA in any merit badges as long as the Scout gets their badge and no parent complaints; all is well mb have become meaningless. Like the Scouts' ranks. sorry no honor in scouting at the council levels

Violations within the scouting environment subject the accused party to legal action by the BSA/SA. The only action that scouting can take is to affect its own policies through membership restrictions. And possibly to recover funds paid out because of the improper action of a member. Suspected youth issues can quickly escalate to the point of legal reporting. Given a 12 y and a 15 in the same tent, is it a BSA policy violation? If the 15-year-old behaves improperly toward the 12-year-old, it's a legal issue.

But that's normal scouting

So, which ones have they not redrawn my area yet? I expect a lot after the next NAM

You are not a free unit you are totally owned by your CO.

Not sure I follow you. If scouting had the same drive to meet the goal the early space program had, it would be successful in its mission. It was not until the space shuttle missions when cost out weighed safety.

For me it been failing to follow thier own rules. Plus the price to pay to play was very high. Cash was king in kind donations where of little value.

I wonder how loss of skilled scouter during the break off of losses to trail life effects this. I know a lost of a lot of good baptist scouter
