    • I have heard from inside sources, that 2 large factors in Scout Executive pay are fundraising results and size of staff they manage. This creates a perfect self-fulfilling prophecy. You have to hire more people to fundraise the money that you want. Then when you fundraise enough, you can hire even more people. Then those people can go fundraise even more which repeats the cycle. Unfortunately, this cycle will break down, it is just a question which link breaks first.
    • Our Council got pretty tight about that stuff. They tried to hang some of our adults out to dry for having a multiple unit campout, (just like we had been having for YEARS) without the Council permission. They went right down the YPT route and accused leaders of violating YPT policies for something that NONE of us knew existed. They even used it as part of the grounds for why they revoked a member's registration. No incidents happened, they just wanted to prove a point that they could do that. Then they started getting pushback from others and they started doing "awareness" in the Council to make sure people knew about it. How convenient they left out the fact they used that as grounds to dismiss a member.

    • I work with two different troops in the Seattle area, and I have two Scouts who have previously earned the National Medal for Outdoor Achievement, including my daughter.  I have two other Scouts who are close to completing the medal.  However, the medal seems to have disappeared from the web site.  Has anybody heard about this?   It's no longer on the National Outdoor Awards page: https://www.scouting.org/programs/scouts-bsa/advancement-and-awards/noa/ It's no longer listed on the Awards page: https://www.scouting.org/awards/awards-central/ I've seen no recent discussion of this online.  It does still exist on the SA site in two places: The application is still on the site: https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/Outdoor Program/pdf/430-041_WB.pdf It IS still in the Scout Shop: https://www.scoutshop.org/national-medal-for-outdoor-achievement-award-660210.html Does anybody have any information? Thanks- Doug Johnson, ASM- Troop 312, Troop 681  
    • look at the controls set up under the short-term camp program. The fix is easy, but it helps cover the various troops COR.  if a scouter from Troop A has an issue dealing with a scout of another unit YP or injury, where does the liability fall > lets all COR know that it's a mixed group
