BSA put it on the agenda, they should have had the guts to take a vote. They put it off until May because that is the end of the school year. They want to give everyone the summer for the decision to sink in, and probably didn’t want people like me who vehemently disagree with the change to leave the pack mid-year. February is Blue/Gold month, and it certainly would have put a pall over the activities
As a scout leader, not voting is an act of sheer cowardice. BSA leadership board should be ashamed of themselves.
Truly pathetic BSA, truly pathetic.
Agreed. This stinks of trying to have their cake and eat it too, fundraising now, deciding later. Well, this Friend of Scouting will now delay our contribution until at least May.
I’m also worried about it. I’ll be attending two Blue and Golds and one Troop Banquet (for my grandsons) in February and March. There’s always a collection taken there and I always give whatever it is they ask for (usually $250, I think). It’s a lot of money but I believe in their mission. I can’t help but wonder if they’re just trying to get this year’s donations.
I agree!
Par for the course. Has been for years with BSA.
