I don't see the need for a centralized churchwide database. This whole discussion is in the end just academic as someone already mentioned that none of this would be necessary if parents took enough interest in their son's scout participation, which is the ideal. Why should any of this be bigger than troop level? If there's any bureaucracy above the scoutmaster I doubt they are going to be paying attention to the scouts on an individual level, therefore why do they need that kind of information. I agree with Steven here. The merits of a centralized database seem as though they are just the convenience of data miners and, potentially, of identity thiefs, unless someone can convince me of some great compelling benefit of centralization.
