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. 😉

236 End of January

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

A friend sent me these. EOY 2024 1030862 Girls 196657 Boys 834205 EOY 2023 1015027 Girls 176209 Boys 838818 Diff 15835 20448 -4613

Or...a lot more work, enter his 8 activities in your Activities file and show one one attendee.

Prospective Eagle Scouts had been asked to demonstrate a “record of satisfactory service” since 1927. And in 1952, they were instructed to “do your best to help in your home, school, church or synagogue, and community” — an ambiguous instruction, to be sure. But on Oct. 1, 1965, the Eagle rank was forever changed when a requirement was added to plan, develop and carry out a service project helpful to the church, synagogue, school or community. (In 1972, the requirement to “give leadership to others” was added.) The other piece of this was the addition of the requirement to serve in a Troop Warrant Officer position. Since adults were not members of the troop they could not do this requirement effectively ending adults earning the Eagle Rank. Of course there are cases for Scouts with Disabilities and lost records which are covered in the Guide to Advancement.

Here's what I found: 50 nights was the requirement in the Jan 1951 HB 20 nights was the requirement in the June 1953 HB
