Changing District Policy?

[CNYScouter]

In previous posts I have written on how my District has rewritten the steps to Eagle.

 

Many of the policies are in direct contrast of what is in the ACP&P Guide and in the Eagle Project workbook.

 

Who sets this policy and how would you go about getting this changed?

 

Who at the District level should be responsible for these policies and who should be responsible to make sure that, as a District, we are following national policy (not only for advancement but other areas as well)?

 

FYI

 

I dont think we have a DAC.

 

The person listed as the DAC has said they are only the head of the EBOR and not the DAC.

 

We do not have a District Program Chair either (who would be in charge of Advancement and the DAC would report to)

Not all districts are structured the same. The District Chair should be able to tell you who.

 

Are you sure it is the District making policy or is it the Council Advancement Committee?

The District Chair is the person who told me who the DAC was - this person said that he was only the head of the EBOR.

So, there is lots of confusion who's is what in the District.

 

As far as I know we do not have a Council Advancemnet Committee nor a CAC.

The last person who was the CAC went AWOL for a few years and the committee fell apart.

 

During the process of my son finishing his Eagle I found that most of our Districts (a couple are the same) have a different policies and procedures they follow for Eagle.
