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

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.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

Does not look that anyone cared at your home council either.

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.

If its a nation registration then national is responsible for your action a local registration moves the liability to the local concil level and then to unit CO level. Not sure if you can register as primary council level position.

I agree nothing is totally safe. But if you offered an event you are expected to show due care in the event. And attendie's understand the risks

No it will all be huss huss we must keep the good name of Scouting pay the settlement ban the leadership. All under a non disclosure agreement like all B S settlements. Only public record if criminal charges

Interesting the CO throught the COR there maybe an other layer of fault. If the adults leadership has a repeating problem. Sad it happen even sadder it likely will be settled with a non disclosure agreement. So no one learn from bad judgement.

So if that is true, it is a known repeating abuse. There should already be a police report for the first event involving a scout. All leadership are required reporters. Looks like multiple failures to protect and follow state law. Reporting to the Scout office is required under BS youth protection. So, the council may already be aware of the problem from prior events. And they took no action. May non-attorney guess it will be settled for at least 7+ figures or more. Should be a child protective service investigation against all parties involved with charges as needed.

Releases are not as good as you may think .there is a expecting of due care but gross negligence is not covered. Some outdoor activities have gone as far getting state law level coverage in my area horse back riding is at that level. They could not get insurance otherwise.

The Scoutmaster is the master of the ship; he is responsible for the actions of his crew, whether he is there or not. Scouting rules can never be less than the state requirement,s but they are free to have higher requirements It's the way we have alway done ;is not a defense. it normally a sign of lazines with the rules. The cost of winning a defense may be thousands of dollars if BA decides not to defend you. Plus any criminal charges.

So what are they calling a new unit: 6 youths, 2 new youths, 4 for another unit, all 6 from a failed unit, with 4 never coming back. The real metric should be 10 new scouts gain. for every 12 scouts who did not recharter. You will need to bring in 22 new. Real numbers that affect membership gains

Add those numbers to the loss of formality paying military members, and the shortfall gets worse. Looks like we are in a death spiral: fewer members lead to higher dues, which lead to more member losses. We will likely follow the Girl Scout lead, with maga-sized councils and less council contact. Single units covering large areas

Watch towers where fun as kid. (12-15 FT) If lashing were good ,rope was good, poles were good. People overseeing its construction understud weight limits centers of gravity, fall risks base ratios ect. Too many did not so failure was high falls greater 6 feet have more fatal results. So no more towers we can look at other ban activities with the same eye.

That has been banded for years.
