It is too early to tell, but in our council, there is indication that we are slowly seeing the trench workers taking charge. Out pro, is not one really, though a nice person with I think good intentions. But, putting things out publicly and following up are very slow or not happening. Our council website is an embarrassment in that it has mostly dead links and so does little to help if someone goes to it. The notice of the final sale of our now lost camp has still not been noted, and so some of those dead links relate to it. Somehow, we are continuing, and historically it is again on the backs of the volunteers, though reality is that community support is still there if Council pays attention and makes the effort. But just begging for money is not what is needed. JMHO of course, -
Manpower is down everywhere. The only solution is to start recruiting from cubs on up to district. Hard, and take time. -
Statistically speaking the month picked does not matter as long as the long term trend is tracked on the same date. If SA has always used 12/31 as the date for the data point, continuing to use it will show the long term trend; we can't let ourselves get befuddled in the month-to-month membership numbers. We might not get a clear picture of the membership direction until we have 36 months under this new membership renewal system. 12/31/2027 might be the day that we really know what is going on year-over-year. -
Did the lawyers get it wrong or were they being disingenuous?

I would say that my council culture is toxic. I can't put my finger on the pulse of where it comes from. My CE is a great guy, I like him, I don't want to say the problem is him; however, a lot of council committees do not meet which is cascading to the district level. We're not recruiting enough people to fill the district level committees. These two things combined are collapsing our council, and it has turned into a shutup type situation when you bring up "when are we going to start meeting more regularly, and when are we going to recruit more?".
