MikeS72 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Not yet, unless it came out today, in which case I will not see it until I get home late this evening. (I cannot access home e-mail account on a work computer) Any hints as to what they are asking about?? We have been anticipating something in the way of tightening up on AIA. I am in Tipisa Lodge, Central Florida Council, by the way, and celebrated the 50th anniversary of my Ordeal ceremony while at summer camp this year.

HashTagScouts Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I haven't received- I'm going to guess it is gathering stats to present for the Thrive webinar coming up. https://oa-bsa.org/article/thrive-national-webinar-local-commitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisos Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 My son got a youth survey to do, though he hasn't done it yet. I haven't received anything myself (targeted to adults). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And an internal membership polls result still have not been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to have an older brother on the forum! I celebrated my 45th anniversary last weekend. I expected to be at our fall ordeal, but it was moved to a later date. (See the 6 month thread) I hope to live long enough to get to the 50 year mark too, but at this point, I'm not certain that the Order will.

HashTagScouts Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 So I did browse through the survey, as my son received the invitation. A lot of it is rating experience with call out, feelings about call out, feelings about Ordeal experience, etc. There was one question along the lines of "do you feel the BSA is headed in the right direction", with the response choices of agree or disagree, but there were sadly no follow ups on that thread. Seemed very oddly out of place to me that it didn't have any true direct follow up questions getting to why scouts felt one way or the other. There were some indirectly related questions later in the survey, on the level of participation for the respondent (such as I attend meetings frequently, infrequently, etc.).
