It seems to be, our troop does not get any support what so ever from our district or council in anything we do. If you aren't part of the good ole' boy click - forget it. I will give you the last example: One of my scouts just received the "heroism award" on Scout Sunday, presented to him by a Congressman and a State Rep. Over 200 people in attendance, local newspapers, television station, girls scouts. leaders and scouts from another council. BUT not one leader, scout, our district to include our council showed. This is the latest example - I could write a book. We don't get visits from anybody, but we have one of the most active troops in council. (But they always are preaching Friends of Scouting)
Does other leaders have this problem when it comes to support from their district and council.
Somebody needs a wake up call - scouting is about the boys - not the good ole" boys who want to walk around with their look at me knots on their shirt. (I have over 35 years in scouting and don't wear any knots because that is not what I'm here for)
