      Overnight Camping for Leader with Other Pack

      By skeptic · Posted

      Not sure what the issue might be, other than surprise to you.  IF she is properly vetted there should not be a problem, especially if she was not necessary as leadership for your unit at the event.

      Overnight Camping for Leader with Other Pack

      By ZebraLongwing · Posted

      Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I couldn’t find it on the forum. I’m a leader with a pack that recently attended an overnight council event.  Our committee chair notified us at the last minute that she would be camping with another pack that she has friends in, rather than our own. She does not have a child in scouting this year, and camped with them on her own. The rest of our pack is a bit confused. Is this normally allowed?

      SM and CC seem full speed ahead to promote incompetent Scout

      By HashTagScouts · Posted

      When programming is working as it should, this is one element that is correct to evaluate the health of the unit and make SM aware of blind spots. If younger youth are getting pencil-whipped through requirements. and older youth who should be teaching are not, the unit is not healthy.

      SM and CC seem full speed ahead to promote incompetent Scout

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      Trust me, National did indeed give it to him and stated "you do not penalize the Scout for the mistakes of adults" in their letter giving him Eagle. And the entire process was followed to the letter at the time, i.e. denial at EBOR, letting stating reasons for it and how to remedy the situation, appeal to council advancement committee which endorsed the district's  denial, and appeal to national. The entire  district advancement committee resigned en masse over the issue writing in the letter that ( paraphrasing) if national wants to overrule the local board of review that reviewed the candidate, then they should start conducting them instead. The DE was furious with national's decision. Not only did it cause the committee, which he spent over 9 months recruiting for, to resign, he new the Scout, his family, and the unit the family ran, and agreed with the local EBOR decision. And the Scout had plenty of time to actually earn it: he was 13 or 14 when he got it. Not knowing who he was, I ran into him wearing his MB sash and Eagle patch and medal ( don't ask why, I don't know) to Den Chief training. I tried to strike up a conversation with him, using the MBs he wore to ask a few questions. Complete silence and "deer in the headlights" look as I asked him some questions, especially since I was new to the area, and some of the MBs he wore I counseled. After he left, the DE told me who he was, and I stated, "I understand why they (local EBOR) said he didn't earn it."
