This Welcome to My BSA from 2005 is a waste of space.

..."This Council Flash window shows information that your council can post for other council employees using My BSA. It's a bulletin board for council news and is especially useful to employees who work away from the office..."

I don't think my Council has ever used this, especially for employees who work away from the office. We use email in the 21st century.

The Council Flash page is optional for use by each council. Some councils use this page as a bulletin board to post daily updates. To eliminate a tool that is used frequently by a number of Scout Executives would be counterproductive.

I confess I use it all the time to post congratulatory messages recognizing staff members and other generic thoughts on things we're doing. If you use it, it can be a great tool. Before recently as I've started using it I'd have agreed with you now I think I'd be lost without it. It can be a valuable tool if you use it. For me it's become sort of a one way blog to the staff.

Ditto! I use it for congratulatory notes and reminders that I want the entire council staff to see every time they enter MyBSA. Like any tool, you have to use it to make it work.
