I filled out the survey but I have to say I was not a fan of where most of those questions seemed to be leading. My responses may have made me look like the crochetly old guy waving a stick around at the whippersnappers.

I agree with that. Many of the Questions were leading, and asking for feedback like that about what to remove/add, I just find that without preparing people a bit more, is asking for nil responses or responses only from particular upset folks.

I do think, it is probably time to open up Scouts some how, even if it is only a part time program, for Kindergartners. I find a lot of young boys who come as tag alongs, or just can't wait to be in scouts, so how can we capture the interest while it is there, and impact those kids earlier is the question.

I don't like some of the ideas hinted at. Forcing more beltloops and pin earning within the context of requirements, or even electives. I think at least Wolf-Webelos are already packed with enough things to do that to cram more might seem a bit daunting. I know Snow has been a major impact on our program the last two years, as it has kept us from meeting on our regular nights.
