Twocubdad 665 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hasn't this been around for awhile? Like several years? I signed up for something like this via MyScouting a long time ago. Seems like I've only been sent one survey. I don't recall the topic, but I recall it was rather mundane and only 3-4 questions. If you're only doing one survey in several years why create the expectation that your opinion matters? I know that creating a pool of volunteers like this skews the research results, so this isn't likely tied to any real, statistically valid research. Is this a real research tool or just a feel-good PR gimmick? Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle732 27 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 They already know what we think, they can read it here. Or they could ask it here. I don't know if any of the National folks read this forum but I'm on Scouts-L and there are a few National guys who comment there. Link to post Share on other sites
JustAnotherScouter 10 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Just because they can't doesn't mean they don't think they already know what I think. Link to post Share on other sites
Brewmeister 132 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Perhaps they feel that the feedback from people who commit to be on a panel is more credible than anonymous comments compiled from an open internet forum? How does that cartoon go again? "On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog." Link to post Share on other sites
HICO_Eagle 93 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Thanks for the info. I have been incredibly frustrated by the extreme stupidity of many recent changes and wondered who got to have a voice on them and how I could express an opinion when it counted -- before lunacy was inscribed into formal final edicts. I'm happy to sign up and I'll be happy to be one of their official thorns in the side -- and they can compile a file on my membership number the size of Encyclopedia Britannica if they wish.

KenDavis500 69 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I received an email from BSA today for a survey to give to my son. Anyone else? Link to post Share on other sites
