The really sad part about this entire episode, is the effect it will have on the youth. If this were a Pack or Troop, I could see the lack of youth input as even a "boy run" troop the adults do a lot of the actual administration duties. But a Crew is supposed to be totally run by the youth, from check book to charter, my kids do that actual work, I just advisor when asked or see something that violates G2SS. Right now, all of my youth are actually adults, so I would have never placed my views above theirs. Unfortunately, she has decided to use the youth to grind her own axe. Perhaps the c

While the approval of the openly gay bishop would seem to be at odds with the BSA policy, the bishop would not be a Scout leader, so therefor would not be affected by BSA membership guidelines. Even if he signed on as IH, the last three units I started never had an IH fill out an application. My current crew's COR elects new leadership every year, last two years, two different IH signatures. I don't know if that is correct, but my DE has never had any complaints.

I feel that society has changed to "accept" behavior, be it immoral or moral as a way of being "tolerant". Most people still view the behavior as moral or immoral, but in the name of tolerance, they do not pass judgement on the person.

I had to deal with this as CM of a pack which lacked a proper committe to handle the checking account. It made getting reimbursed for items quite hard, 1 to 2 month delay on average. At first I would sned in receipts in groups, to be reimbursed, but as the delays continued, I proceeded to plan B. I put in a rush request for reimbursement for every item purchased as soon as purchased. I ended up getting a check a week for about a month, until the Church Treasurer contacted me to find a new treaserer for that account, as he did not have the time to deal with all the transactions.
