What sort of questions are they asking in this survey?

Seems pretty standard in some of the councils.

This was sort of known after the other vote failed. There is another council in NY merging in as well.

They're all still doing that from what I can tell, they are just not publishing them to the websites. My council will give you their plan if you ask for it but otherwise it's off the radar.

Why is this being driven by the committee chair? At the troop level the advancement coordinator is responsible for arranging boards of review. Additionally, though not the best option, a board of review can be staffed by parents, people from the community, basically anyone with some knowledge of the process that is not a member of the scoutmaster corps.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the wrongful death lawsuits from that range incident a couple years ago?

I would expand on this and have them discuss how their already good LNT habits have limited waste.

The module is just horrible. It fails constantly, leaders hate taking it because of stupid stuff like the soda can, and now that it's mandatory there's no way to know if your compliance is expiring without writing down when your renewal date is.

I don't think this matters. If seascouts can use nights slept on water why can't other scouts? Why would there be a double standard?

Saw your other post. At a district level event it would be the same as a council event, NCAP variances apply.

Does the troop have written expectations of positions of responsibility? Are there APL's that can step in for the sick and uninterested?

I would advise you to chase this as a program improvement point and not a punitive point. Raising it such as "I am concerned that without proper messaging and clarity the camping variance from the council event that our CC utilized might be viewed as allowed outside an NCAP environment. We don't want to normalize the view that we can just camp with who we want when we want. I want to make sure that in order to follow Safeguarding and the GTSS we understand that unit level camping outside of an NCAP regulated event doesn't allow this." versus "CC did this and I don't think we should allow it. What are we going to do to prevent this from happening again?"

Normally no. If this were a joint unit event outside of an NCAP environment she would need at least 2 leaders and 2 scouts from the Scouts BSA program level (preferably all from the same unit). But under a council event that is NCAP regulated there are all kinds of variances.

I see this, even with my own kids; I am constantly telling them no voice-to-text is allowed which forces them to have to spell at least. We're seeing some gap issues at the troop level still but we've undone the damage done at the pack level (Just instituting correction in the program from an adult standpoint). We're one and a half years out from the last covidish era patrol aging out, I suspect if we keep focusing on instituting the program properly on these successive crossover patrols we'll eliminate all of the problems as well. For skits one of the things I have noticed is that if we give scouts advanced notice and remind them to have something in the pocket for a fireside program they come prepared, if we ask them on the campout to have something they go right to the struggle bus.

I just looked at how Scouting America describes the sailing adventure options on the Seabase website and I would say that it does count towards 9a and 9b.
