TAHAWK 852 Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) From a draft Table of organization I have seen change is coming to my older council in a BIG way. No districts. Organization is by program: cubs, Scouts, and "Teen Scouting." The council now stretches over 100 miles end to end. No roundtables. The decision-meister has decided all could be learned at a RT can be learned on line. Good thing given that centrally-located meetings would be a two-hour round trip away - in decent weather - now that districts are going away. Also titles unknown to the Guide for Insignia - "Deputy Commissioners" No FOS. Massive emphasis on selling popcorn. All to be announced shortly after district kickoffs. Effective when ?

TAHAWK 852 Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) The Deputy Council Commissioner, Boy Scouting Program Support, has an Assistant Council Commissioner, Advancement. Districts always acted by delegated authority from Councils. Districts are optional in the Bylaws ("may") There is also an ACC "Boy Scout Packs." Probably just a mistake. No Wood Badge Coordinator listed. Edited July 26, 2017 by TAHAWK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSScout 762 Posted July 27, 2017 Sounds like a new manager wants his fiefdom to be operated his way, make his mark, leave his org in his image. Loss of face to face? How is IOLS , WB, other training to be done? Scouting is NOT an "online " activity. It is an out in the woods activity, if you catch my drift. I was a Deputy District Commissioner, a few years back, show you my patch if you like. I was told it was a "specialized" Commish, mine was to be helping with new units, which I did. Then I was "promoted" to Assistant DC, and told the title of DDC was to be "retired" from the National lexicon. Sorry for your angst, Tahawk. Maybe they are trying to economize by eliminating underused DEs.... naw, couldn't happen. The DEs will be made Assistant Chief Scout Executives, bet. Wait a bit. They will feel the heat from the volunteers, the lack of "service" from the pro's and presto ! Eastern Service Area, Western Service Area, River Bend Service Area..... See you on the trail.......

NJCubScouter 1072 Posted August 28, 2017 I searched for Regional Governors and found none. ??? Because Miami Chief was quoting "Star Wars." Actually he was reacting to a previous "Star Wars" quote by The Latin Scot. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJCubScouter 1072 Posted August 29, 2017 But governors under the First Empire were titled "Moff." Evidently they were referred to as both, because Miami Chief's quote was correct. And now that you mention it, the quote coming from Grand Moff Tarkin is kind of strange, because he himself used the term "governors." That's enough of this, I think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
