My Unit (Troop) has a connection to the District and Council - but I’ve never seen the purpose of the relationship - other than chartering.
Frankly, evertime someone from the District comes by, I think “Here goes another fund-raiser speech.” They serve no significant purpose.
My Troop is very highly associated with its sponsoring church. Discipleship is the principle mission of our Troop and Pack. Our aim is to build men who know God and are well-grounded in their Christian walk.
I guess what I’m saying is this: If we risk losing our Charter because we do not comply with the change in the national organization, we will go solo. Not much will really change.
“...everytime someone...” Duh-oh.
That’s very close to what I told our District, Council and National directors. I said “you need us (volunteers) far more than we need you.”
I’m sick and disgusted by this entire sordid mess. All these morons on the National Council need to do is look at their history and the Oath that they supposedly live by. Brock and any members of the board who vote yes should be instanntly relieved of duty.
Frankly, if I were the pastor of your church, under these new conditions, I would REQUIRE the church-based troop to SURRENDER and REPUDIATE the charter.
