      Do units support the council, or council supports the units?

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      In my neck of the woods, the folks who know what to do at the district and council levels have been run off pros. Reason is they see the mistakes the council is making, and when they bring it to the pro's attention, the get ignored, yelled at, or cursed out. They either get removed by the pro, or quit out of frustration.

      I think the CST model is failing because the CST volunteers are overwhelmed at how poorly qualified the council and district volunteers are. Imagine the routine things that filter up because so many buddies of a buddy are chairing district committees, and how many council committees are chaires by people that have great checkbooks but ZERO domain knowledge. The problem with on scouting is that it's a qausi official source and not a real official source.

      Not just units. Anyone remember when national made policy changes regarding Tiger Cubs and BB Guns, and didn't tell anyone teaching shooting sports directors at NCS? So folks were not aware of it until 6 months after it went into effect, after Cub Scout Day Camp and Resident Camp season. You would think any changes in Shooting Sports  Range and Target Activities , the NCS Staff would be the first to find out and disseminate the info.  The way National changes things, a staff couldn't keep up on a daily basis.

      I have never been impressed with the communication prowess of the organization, nor the flow of information from National to units.  With the old interweb thingy at our fingers now,  you'd think the simple solution is a "Daily Read File" or some such.  National posts all policy and procedure changes there, and anyone can access and read.   The hard part would be keeping duff, fluff, puff, and stuff out of it... you know, propaganda, feel good, and image pieces like you see here https://www.scoutingnewsroom.org/ Like this:  Did you know that National has released an updated Annual Health and Medical Record (2026 version)???

      I suspect a few of my posts on District pages have been wiped, as the council has the office as a moderator on them.  But, I generally share stuff I get from the National groups, like Commissioners, and especially On Scouting.  I find many are not aware of this, and local council often  does not pass stuff along.  Their newsletters are always months out of date.  IF it came from a National source, I feel it should be okay to share it.  Tough if they do not want your to.
