    Hello 5 Year Scouter,


    Ummm. What I notice is the following about power over the district and council:



    In my district, we have an annual election for the District Chair. It's a pro forma election of the candidate recommended by the Nominating Committee.

    The same thing happens on the council level.

    Absent a HUGE turnout of CORs, there is really no opportunity for oversight or challenging district or council decisions through this mechanism.

    I wouldn't be surprised that if a large number of CORs were to challenge an action of the district or council, they would get a hearing. But that would be true for any large group of disenchanted volunteers, and CORs would not have the legal power to overrule a decision made by the council Executive Board.

    That's what I see, anyway.
