      How Do You Guide Scouts in Choosing Patrols?

      By fred8033 · Posted

      Odds are it will work better or reasonably well.  Individual YPT situations can be addressed.  Also, similar YPT challenges exist in the other approaches too.  IMHO, lots of this can be solved by focusing on activities and adventure more than the theoretically perfect way to run a troop.  Follow YPT 100%.  Beyond that, all the learning happens naturally by focusing on being an active, adventurous troop.

      Politics aside, President Carter was an example of living with Scout Spirit, or so it seems to me. RIP SM Carter.

      By Tron · Posted

      Carter spent 40 years trying to make up for the 4 worst years of his leadership history. Carter got a lot of press, support, and had influence because he was a past president; anyone else with his track record never would been given a second thought.  I'm not going to join the whitewash here; Carter's presidency is well know for the worst inflation of the 2000th century, if measured apples-to-apples, probably worse than even now. Carter bumbled everything internationally. Nearly 4 decades of post war (WW2) economic growth cratered because of his policies. The 1 federal department he is responsible for standing up is under so much fire right now because of how poorly it has blown up the US education system.  The only thing I will give Carter is that he had 1 really big win as president, and that was creation of the superfund program. Everything else he touched as president was total rot.

      This sounds great but also problematic considering YPT (especially the new buddy rules).

      Freedom of Information Act

      By Tron · Posted

      No, the FOIA only applies to the federal government; period. If your state has some sort of other state level law I would suggest you state what that law is and the state; it is unlikely that the law you are thinking about even vaguely affects non-government entities.

      IF they are subject to FOIA, it would only be in relation to how the grants are used. Not "in general".
