So, despite a few strong programs in every area, unit programming seems to be lacking.

I suggested more council / district events run by professionals and experienced volunteers, but everyone's experience there indicates those are also hit and miss.

Training sucks. There is no denying it. Standards have dropped to the point they are almost nonexistant, and if you try to keep some, you are told you are gatekeeping or adding to requirements. Folks with knowledge, skills, abilities, and experience are being told they don't know what they are doing, they need to quit, etc. they are getting fed up and quitting.

As far as professionals go, very, very few have what it takes to run programs. Most are just out of college and trying to pay off loans.

 

more later.
