      Freedom of Information Act

      The federal FOIA and the various state and local versions apply only to governmental entities.  This is not a productive way to get information from not-for-profit organizations.

      @MattR  Nice to have you around the campfire   Thanks for serving as a Moderator! The BSA will limp along until it perishes from self-inflicted wounds or radically transforms.  The former is more likely than the latter. Scouting will always be a thing.  It was a thing even before it was called Scouting... young people having adventures together and learning how to get along in their own little "citizenship" laboratory. Societal ills will increase to a point where adults will realize we need to help young people learn how to replace us.  And then there will be a revival. Take your grandkids camping, and do your own version of Scouting.  Adventures, skills, and teamwork with grandpa sound like great fun. Enjoy the hikes 😜  And post a picture!

      As of yesterday I'm no longer associated with a unit or district. I've lost interest in scouting and now have 3 grandkids that I care much more about. I adore them and even though I've had a cold twice, hoof in mouth and covid, all since the start of Nov, it's worth it. But I don't have time for meetings with bored teenagers or campouts with a handful of scouts. If the parents were still engaged like they were even 10 years ago I'd make the time, but they're not. It seems the same way on this forum. I'm not a leader and I never thought I was. I just kept at it because I believed in it. I'm not going to change anything anymore. So, it's time to move on. I hope scouting figures things out. It was fun. I have good memories. There were some good people on this forum as well. I may poke my nose in once in a while but my interest is waning. I'd rather go for a hike to take some nice photos. Take care everyone. @RememberSchiff and @Eagle1993 , I'll start a thread in the moderator area.
