Repeating previous discussion in other threads ....

Your concerns are valid.  My view is from the aspect of cost.  Staff.  Building.  Utilities.  Technical support.   The smallest council needs at least 5 staffers.  The largest probably need 50+.  Even with 5 staffers that earn an average of $60k a year, the cost would be at least $500k a year to run the council; conservatively.  Probably way more approaching $1m.  Then, spread that cost over the scouts.  $500k spread over 2000 scouts is $250 each.  5000 scouts is $100 each.  15000 scouts is $33.  Somewhere in there is the magic number balancing cost and the number of scouts.
