rotating adult leadership

[Lisabob 13]

Correction, OGE. No states put limits on members of Congress, as it would be unconstitutional to do so (you'd need to amend the federal constitution). Some states do term-limit their state legislatures, though. I happen to live in one of those and I think I've said before that it seems to produce terrible "leadership" in state government. Everybody's jockeying for whatever they can get "right now" since there are no long-term consequences for them - or anyway, they'll be gone by the time those consequences play out.

 

But scouting is a little different than politics. I hope.

I had thought some term limits tuck in some states but I have been wrong before

Unlike diapers and politians, I don't think SMs need to be changed often.

Going on 6 years as SM. Our troop elects a SM every year in November, they are free to replace me any time.

 

Why would you set an arbitrary term limit? If your troop is lucky to find someone who is knowledgable in the outdoors and scout skills you would be fortunate to hold on to him as long as possible.
