| Hello all, I’m going to make a guess that most of you did not have time to make it to one of the 4 discussions that were held to discuss the proposals regarding a whole Family for the BSA at this year’s Annual Meeting by our Chief Scout Executive, Mike Surbaugh. I would like you all to take the time to read the attached materials, keeping in mind that there has been NO DECISION MADE on the subject yet, and watch the video that explains all of the thinking that has been done on the topic at the National level, read the FAQ and then, and only after all that please consider submitting your opinion online via the link. The discussions were scripted by National as a way to ensure that everyone providing feedback was given access to the same exact information. So the steps I’d like you to take are: Read the “Introduction for Family Program meeting.pdf” Then watch the video at this link. https://vimeo.com/222907705 (Password: 1910BSA!) Then read the “Discussion Guide for Family Program.pdf” Then please register to provide your feedback at this link after all of that. Not before… I’m watching… https://scouting.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6Gp90QFpWs6O0y9 And when you receive the email request, please respond to it. If you share this with other registered Scouters, which is fine, just ensure they follow the program as you will, so their feedback can be equally provided. The deadline National has put on all councils is tomorrow Tuesday, August 15, 2017. Again remember, there has not been any decision made, National truly want’s your opinion on the matter before they do. In Scouting, Matt Flanagan
