  1. 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.
  2. So, which ones have they not redrawn my area yet? I expect a lot after the next NAM
  3. You are not a free unit you are totally owned by your CO.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. Looks like a case of slander toward you and your son. If the new troop wanted a recommendation from the old troop they should have your knowledge and consent. But is hard to control word of mouth. Email is an overstep. Action to remove a scout should be defined somewhere at the council level.
  8. Youth hit by adult direct call to DCPS or police no if and or but. Failing to report is likely a felony in some states. Tell Scout personnel not to release you as a mandatory reporter.
  9. Two deep learnership deals more with possible sexual content issues. 2 trained adults to 10 scouts acceptable control 2 adults 30 multi age scout unacceptable of control (my numbers for a point)
  10. They are the master of the ship. Most Cub/ Scoutmasters do not understand their level of responsibility. They are responsible for all the Scout Connect adult members. The CO is the highest-ranking member on that chain; most are unaware of their level of responsibility. Events happen, anything other than that vaping sounds better. When an other adult takes a leadership position they assume a lot of the risk. An event happening will still involve the master being questioning about thier choice of this person, trainning. Past preferences ext
  11. Works fine until your the one with a permanently injured child because someone coman sense was faulty. The old saying common sense isn't so common, " it more like hold my beer.
  12. New troops made up of new scouts ok. Increase the number of scouts needed to form or maintain a unit. Good idea, but it's never going to happen. Merging small units to free up adults to do other tasks. Reconnect a good program to good retention. Letting girls in good. The bad side is giving a bleeding patient a pint of blood without fixing the bleed. Sorry, but still seeing BA looking more like the GS track record on negative growth.
  13. Does not look that anyone cared at your home council either.
  14. One new unit of what 6 Scouts( many just shifted from other units or cross overs), not a profitable goal when a good unit, at least at one time, had 24 Scouts. The number of units is a shadow game. Bring in 10 new scouts; non-cross-cubsover is a goal that would help. Work to improve 3-year retention. If you are truly getting good feedback do you have the will to change weak and bad programs or leadership both volunteer and paid.
