      Is this the Chicago Tribune and College of DuPage case? https://www.peoriamagazine.com/archive/ibi_article/2016/increased-exposure-nonprofit-records-under-foia/ https://law.justia.com/cases/illinois/court-of-appeals-second-appellate-district/2017/2-16-0274.html Albeit a cursory check... but quick reading indicates private non-profit info subject to FOI might be restricted to Government contracts. I'm interested because I've always thought that many non-profits would do well to be more transparent... particularly BSA Councils.

      Non profits in Illinois have already been legally forced to comply with FOIA requests. A 501c3 in the Chicago area fought this and lost the court case. Due to the case, articles and memos have been sent to 501c3s that we need to review these requests closely if we get them.  I am the head of a 501c3 and I have personally been been made aware of this situation. I have been advised to comply if possible to save legal headaches. Other 501c3 groups around here have been getting the same advice recently. The kicker of this whole deal is if you do not comply and lose the case, your organization is responsible for the costs of both parties.

      Change, often called evolution is part of life and extends o our groups and organizations.  Scouting history shows many adjustments and some fairly radical ones early on, and BP was often the one to put them forward.  IF, and that is in big caps, we just stay on course with our Scouting compass we will get there.  The "New World" was of course NOT.  Time will tell, and here with Scouting America, our options are broad, but also shaded with a broken society and legal system.  JMO of course.  Focus on the Spirit, and the rest will follow.

      Scouting is going to survive; Scouting America is going to survive. I don't think Scouting America membership has bottomed out yet; and I think a lot of change is coming. I think quality control of adult leaders and of units in general is eminent; certain it will be a thing no later than the final ink is dry on the settlement. I've only ever heard of adults being threatened to be kicked out, and I've only ever heard of units being threatened to loose their charter; I've recently witnessed my first adult leader kicked out of SA after decades of service, and 2 units have lost their charter in the last month, a 3rd was supposedly told 1 more safety/ypt violation and they are gone. What I see is that Scouting America is going to get smaller, and then we are going to turn a very big corner and experience some real growth.
