Can you clarify? Are you saying OP's promptings don't matter or a Counselor's?

As the COR, it is actually my responsibility. But thanks for playing.

it is your responibility to communicate with the bishop, so he can make

He actually can have that stewardship if it has been given to him.
Tokolosh

Both he and we know he is nitpicking over nothing for whatever reason...

My biggest hang up these days is the nickel and dime cost of everything

it has always been that way, today it is just $10 here and $50 there

I still think this is the biggest reason the church will drop scouting

Since when has ward budgeting ever been fair? Take a look at the RS vs EQ

The budgets may look the same, but not after you factor in chartering costs

Are you the scoutmaster or in another position? Do you have two additional dependable adult leaders (or Dads)?

Get out. Nothing to be ashamed of. Lots of guys (like me) really love Scouting

Don't compare yourself to the uber scouts in the ward.
