This is pretty normal weather for that area; I lived out there for a long time. It's crazy that there wasn't a contingency plan on standby. -
What I am seeing is that there is no goldilocks zone for todays scouts. It's either the troop is a meatgrinder and only scouts with professional proficiency are getting things signed off or the opposite where anything can get signed off. I think the answer is unit leaders (all of us) and national need to push WAY WAY more outdoors programming. Some of the program needs to shift back towards scout skills emphasis; I would personally yank some of the non scout skill eagle MB and replace them with orienteering, wilderness survival, and backpacking.

You're running ILST, basically lightyears ahead of most of this organization.

Agreed. It’s frustrating that BSA did not have a plan sufficient to secure approval and a signature well in advance of Jan 20, recognizing the Electoral College, or Election Day, or the party conventions. Seems unlikely every prior 4 years has been perfect. We just taught the Scouts the leadership skill of planning at ILST. Wish National had this skill set as it delays cards etc for new Eagles. Our current challenge. -
I hear you and did not communicate clearly. My original point was that getting the President's signature on Eagle certificates was probably not high on the list of his team's priorities. My instinct is that any "woke" issues the current SECDEF has with our organization is separate from that. Entirely possible the two will merge at some point, though!
