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 Their newsletters are always months out of date.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. -
As a Vet, I use the military salute while in a Scout uniform, as I was encouraged to do when it was officially approved. I still put my hand over my heart when not in uniform, however, though I have noted apparently it is now authorized even without a uniform. While prouch that I served, it is not the center of my existence, and I still feel a bit uncomfortable with the rote "thank you for your service". I suppose the fact I joined the AF during the rush to draft in the sixties shows I went willingly, though I sometimes think it was a form of doging the Army or Marines at the time. Still, I have credit for four active years and two reserve, and the VA is modhelpful with the local clinics, though the paperwork and computer access is tedious and now often annoying, trying patience. Another related thing is proper marching or drill movements. I used to occasionally show the youth proper turning for drill and marching. But, I stopped when some parents felt it was not appropriate. But a sharp color guard is still important, and if the event has them doing flags, I try to get them squared away and even in step.
