Is this "usual" Troop policy?


Recommended Posts

You might not know who your Charter Org is, but that does not change the fact that (as NeilLup says) the CO OWNS the Unit, NOT your council.

 

That is the whole point of giving them a charter.

 

The CO could have insisted that both boys & adults be allowed to go to camp. The CO could have insisted that the Troop pay them the cost of the camp fees & then given the money to your Troop. The CO could have pulled the registrations of the Troop leaders who refused to allow your boys at camp & "fired" them.

 

Your BSA Council could do NONE of those things. The MOST your council could do is to try to CONVINCE the CO & it's leaders to do one of the above options. Not FORCE them, only try to CONVINCE them.

 

Explain to your families that condemning the BSA organization for the actions of the people in that one Troop, is like condemning the United States because Shmoville has a speed trap that you got caught in.

 

It just is not going to fly!

 

Hope your boys have fun at Summer Camp!
