For Pros, the 2 membership deadlines in the past have been December 31st and June 30th. Those are what their performance reviews is based upon. As for October 1st, I bet that is when most Roundups have been finished, and we get all the new Cub Scouts. -
Membership loss on/after Jan 1st has always been an issue right? This is the first year where we have 2 major renewal deadlines though. What happens October 1st(ish) ? -
This is a national rule. There isn’t a national term limit, but each term is only 1 year. Each year, all district and council positions must be renominated and approved. Often a rubber stamp, but not always. https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/regions/central/PDF/District Nominating Committee Worksheet.pdf Here is the council one. https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Highlights-of-Council-Governance.pdf -
Aye, the work is imdeed done by whoever shows up. Consider the recent case of a District Commissioner. Wonderful Scouter, bleeds khaki, as they say. He covers all things Scouty in our District for several (several!) years. Comes the new DE. He checks the record, confers with his fellows, and declares that the DCommissioner in question has been DCommissioner long enough, and as of xx date, he will be "retired", thank you for your service", and recommends (?) that Assistant DC be promoted. Assistant DC says "what?" Present DC says "WHAT??" When this news is spread, the rest of the District's ADCs and UCs say ""WHAT ? ? "" Scout politics occurs. 90% of the District's Commissioners threaten to resign. DE et al declare the policy is.... and that's that. The District's ADCommissioners , UCommissioners and Committee Chair et al all stomp their metaphorical feet, read the fine print and note that the DC must be APPROVED by the Council Commissioner, but can be (can be) elected by the District Commissioners and/or Committee. After alot of back and forth, our aged DC agrees to step down, but not quite yet. A dedicated ADC agrees to be DC, and is elected by acclamation at the next District Meeting which happened to be the Annual Meeting, when such things should occur. This ADC is not the one the DE announced, to no one's surprise but relief. The DE and CCommish (on ZOOM) both nod in agreement, revolt/resignations averted. Camporee in four months... -

For mrjpohns2, that is rather interesting concept rather than a national rule I think. Imagine being a district key 3 and signing up the next year's key 3 for all kinds of things they have no knowledge or interest in. It often takes more than a year to understand the mechanics of district, service area, or council after merges, realignment, and new units added. A new advancement chair each year would be interesting to see that work successfully. And then...you must have a bench of volunteers ready to step up/in. Not a fan of mandatory 1yr term limits in any unit or level.
