      My friend's camp runs 3 weeks of Scouts BSA at less than 50%.  Don't know the $$ side.

      New Induction Ceremony

      By Tron · Posted

      I get the whole shift away from anything first nation related/culturally appropriated; it's an unnecessary headache. I don't think it's the biggest issue at hand though, useless lodges and garbage advisors should be the #1 priority to fix. National was supposed to fix the advisor issue this year but decided to just make it easier for adults to join the OA. There really needs to be some sort of max tenure for advisors to get the old rotten blood out of the lodge leadership structure (yes, let us face it, the youth are not leading the lodges).

      What?? You've Got to Be Kidding Me with These Membership Numbers!

      By Tron · Posted

      You're correct. Commissioners are supposed to go into units and basically figure out what is going wrong and helping the unit identify solutions.  Again you're correct, no stick; the lack of action in part by professional staff means there is zero motivation for a unit to correct even the easiest to correct issues.

      camp usage

      By Tron · Posted

      Unknown at this time. Most camps in my neck of the woods will continue to run traditional resident camp until the last week of July or first week of August. I can say that the camp my troop went to this year was at capacity the week we were there. Reports were that they are running an extra week this year and that so far the camp has been at and is scheduled at capacity.

      New Induction Ceremony

      From talking to youth and adults who have seen the new ceremony , it is not as good. Folks were promoting the final current ceremony, saying you really don’t want to miss out.
