Technology and the BSA just don't mix.

I attended a training seminar today from some "new" software that the scout council is going to be using. Its actually software that has been around since at least 1994. The training was little more than a pep rally explaining all of the stuff you can do with this software. There was actually no "training" at all.

To be honest, the whole experience put a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. It is little wonder that the BSA sees the value in technology when they have no idea what it has to offer. I'd love to be able to bring these guys another 10 years up to speed, but I can tell that there's no way that is going to happen because they just don't know enough to know what they should be wanting...
