Those of us here at TruScouting are happy for Jim. He might have thought to call Steve Bortz for
an honest assessment of working for Ethan.
We don’t think this will last very long. Both Jim and Ethan like to play “pin the tail
on the donkey,” or the blame game, and sooner or later they will do this with each
other and Jim will find himself out of another job. Does anyone out there know of a Senior
Executive Service member not retiring from the position?
When you run camps for the BSA, you should have a clue that
your weekends will be tied up. Poor Jim, he
thinks he’ll be visiting Maryland on the weekends. Good luck Jim, you're going to need it.

Deletethank god ethan retired and no longer with the BSA. he has fired or let go of every excellent professional scout for people who will does nothing and have no knowledge and ethan wanted people who will just say yes with their head pointed to the floor. He single handily destroyed the relationship between volunteers and professional scouters and left with a large deficient which will take minimum 6 to 8 years to recover.
ReplyDeleteLast time i heard because of his "big idea" and his ego, some parts of the camp land that was gifted by FDR is being sold to cover some of the loss...
