      End of 2024 membership numbers

      By yknot · Posted

      That's why the March/April figures have always been more accurate. There's a certain percentage of baked in bloat year to year. This year is going to be a little harder to figure out because I think with the change to rolling self renewals vs. prorated renewals, they will continue to remain on the books for, depending on what you've read and where, anywhere from 60 to 180 days. I'm thinking March/April, though, will be a truer picture.

      Another lost camp

      By Mrjeff · Posted

      We recently lost a very old and loved camp in South Georgia, too.  I feel like the rest of you, if the council camps closed they could build a couple more national sites then everyone could just go to a nationally owned and outlandishly expensive camps

      Freedom of Information Act

      I sure wish it did because I would submit a FOYA request to see the data used to restructure the whole organization from American Indian Activities to allowing young ladies to become Boy Scouts to all of this DEI boulderdash.

      Scout dies in boating accident, Lake Manning, Camp Bell (Gilmanton, NH)

      I don't see where the boat operator must be a "trained lifeguard"....

      Update 2/4/25: The parents of Scout Keoni Hubbard are accusing Scouting America of violating its duty of keeping children in its care safe. In a lawsuit, they are "alleging  that Scouting America violated many of its own safety rules, including having a qualified boating operator who is over 21, that the boat operator be a trained lifeguard and that there should be a second person on that boat serving as a lookout for the children in the water.
