Duane,
Though i'm not personally involved in either subject at present, and at the
risk of putting words in Commander Mariotts' mouth, I'm certain that the
intent is to make sure that all parties involved will be focusing on 'best
practices' as they equate to the primary mission of reaching teaching and
keeping boys for Christ.... that mission is what counts at the end of the
day.
Neither Commander Mariott, nor anyone else I know on his staff are the type
of folks who enter the room with a fork lift insisting on everyone doing it
"their way". That is certainly not his style, nor would he condone such
actions without the appropriate folks being 'onboard' with the change.
Given proper time and prayerful support, i'm certain that it will all turn
out in the way that God intends it to. Surely there will be a choice few
who will still have reservations about this or that, but as long as we all
keep the primary mission is focus, God's plan will unfold and he'll be
glorified in it.
As for the 'black eye' statement... any of us who have been around any
length of time know where a choice few in the National Office stand on the
issue of RangerNet. My only point in that was to be sure we didn't say
anything on RangerNet to add to the list of why RangerNet is seen by 'non
subscribers' as less than helpful to the mission... because we all know,
more good happens here than not.... but perception; whether based on partial
truth, or untruth speaks multitudes of words in absence of a proper
defense...
Now... back to that meeting plan idea....
Blessings,
Andy.
BTW: You're A-OK too Duane! :-)

Here's the issue that predates changes in National Commander...
There is a National Standing Committee that was working on the SA/Buckaroo
re-do..
those folks... (Cdr.Jen was a member) are even today un-informed as to their
status..
or the work they produced.. those efforts were headed by Cdr.Scott
Manderville.
The change of Command seems in need of informing the troops of a few things.
I'm sure that is in the works! *GRACE!<G> (grace to Razorback and his staff)
Another member of the committee sent mail that Cdr.Manderville would be
remaining,
and that is yet to be published...
Ranger net is not an "authority" or responsible party in the matter outside
of
the unique
ability to use E-mail to compare notes...
*So! the "black eye" given Ranger net is in the hands of those who would
mis-quote
what concerned Commanders ask in a post to a un-official internet list
serve.
"Mutiny" charges are off base...
*First the announcement of Cdr.Hendrickson was via AG News over the
Internet.
"What happened" questions are a reaction to lack of communication, not a
judgment
of Cdr.Rich or his new agenda... Does that sound fair?
However... the "New" program may in fact be far removed from the National
Standing Comm.'s
work, and been field tested without their knowledge... *My understanding is
that Cdr.Rich has broad
powers to meet the challenge of the executives mandate for changes to Royal
Rangers.
The SA/Buckaroo National Standing Committee- Like the NRRC does not have a
public service officer to answer these questions.... even Paul Stannek may
not
have the
firm answer yet. I assume even Cdr.Rich is awaiting "fine tuneing" and the
information he
presents at SW regional will have evolved from our "briefing" last mo. in
the
Northwest.
Thanks, Andy...yur A-ok!
