Position Manager and Rechartering:
National 01/07/2022
Position Manager, a tool introduced in April replacing Org Security Manager that allows the unit leadership to set functional positions. The COR can also change adult registered positions. While a unit is lapsed this feature is inactive. Once the renewal is completed and posted by the council the tool will be active again.
Catholic Church Statement
Methodists and Scouting
About a decade ago I believe there were about 11 methodist religious groups in the United States. Here is the last “United Methodist” news release that I know about:
- “United Methodists reach settlement in Boy Scouts’ Bankruptcy Case”, https://www.gnjumc.org/news/press-release-from-united-methodist-communications-12-21-21/, Press release December 21, 2021
The “United Methodist” religious group issues has been discussed in other Scouting forum topics.
I do not know about the other Methodist religious groups (churches).
MY OPINION:
There may be other factors affecting the new leader registration and renewal of adult leader registration in your council this year:
- COVID which affects available professional staff and delays the movement of off-line paper documents.
- laws and regulations imposed by federal and state civil governents (such as fingerprinting and background checks).
- the ScoutNet database retirement and training of the professional staff.
BeAScout Information
