The Council always has the responsibility for Adult Leadership. They do final approval after the background checks and all other required clearances are submitted. Each unit must have the key 3 and a number of committee members or the council won't/can't process the charter. They don't pick the actual names, that's the COR or IH purview.

My guess is other organizations like little league each team registers together and there are not multiple end dates for the kids. Yes the scout interface is crappy which is more reason to do multiple testing before launching this on the masses so you get what you pay for which is "Nightmare in each council" Film at 11.

Dropping that many in Tron's council is likely to happen in others since IMHO letting parents anywhere near re-registering their scout by themselves instead of doing it all by unit and having members in the same unit re-registering at completely different times is fraught with the disaster they have created. Parents doing answer emails so one from BSA HQ is not going to get any more rapid response that one from the school system. I'm going to assume that once again a business has implemented a new procedure without thinking it completely through and doing multiple tests. There are 40K units that need to register and some mess it up so why let hundreds of thousand potentially individuals register. Good grief!

Autopen needed a new ink cartridge. 😜

My guess that if National funded councils 100% there would be a lot of DOGEing happening to reduce the number of councils. 😉

And of course there is : With your parent or guardian’s permission, demonstrate how to iron two different articles of clothing. Demonstrate your knowledge by cleaning your bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen. and the obligatory : Explain how equity is different from equality.

Life Skills...why do we need parents? Why not add some of these to Family Life and combine FL and Pers Management into one MB.

@Eagle1993Probably correct My friend said that over 10% of councils have less than 1000 youth and there are only 5% with more than 10K youth.

End of January....966974

So the rebranding caused the 16000 gain?

I asked my friend about other numbers. Also mentioned how badly the recharter process has been. Jan 2024 893117 (down 100K from the end of 2023) April 2024 813497

My understanding is this is the snapshot of the data at the end of each month. If a scout leaves the program but has a paid registration though 12/31/24 they are still counted. Recharter is supposed to flush out all of those registrations which can take into March by the time all the charters are processed.

mrjohns2...what are you confused about? Growth in Girls Overall loss in Boys
