      Here a University Extension service, designed for vocational certification, was adapted for a whole day outdoor classroom merit badge experience. "Each mentor brought the latest equipment they use in the field, and Scouts rotated between five stations where they learned mapping and drafting, surveying history and careers, leveling, creating boundaries, and 3-D laser scanning."

      The Council always has the responsibility for Adult Leadership.  They do final approval after the background checks and all other required clearances are submitted.  Each unit must have the key 3 and a number of committee members or the council won't/can't process the charter.  They don't pick the actual names, that's the COR or IH purview.

      Seemed timely and topic relevant... “Remember, we are just custodians, we are here for a very short period of time on Earth. So when you work with Scouts, make sure we pass along a good Earth and a good world and all the good values that are important.” “Often times, young people get sidetracked by and consumed with commercialism – things like television and cell phones are not as important as the values that you teach in Scouting. That’s what’s important, so make sure you teach your Scouts how these important values will stay with them the rest of their lives, while consumerism is just fleeting and passes through your life as a person.” Pope Francis (1936-2025) in a 2015 interview with ScoutingWire Bray Barnes Reference: https://www.scout.org/news/scouts-worldwide-pay-tribute-to-pope-francis

      the most interesting part is the council picks the number and who is in leadership not sure what causing long term injury or death to a cub is worth in todays dollar but 7.5 million looks big but to me is really small when faced with a wrongful injury suit.
