But the council has only one synod church, and it may be too early to tell. Though the re-chartering deadline has passed, units have two more months of a “grace period,” O’Brien said.

Alicia Lifrak, Scouting executive and CEO of the Lewis & Clark Council, which is headquartered in Belleville and covers 15 counties, said, “At this point we have no losses.”

“We are certainly hopeful that we can maintain our local partnerships and relationships and keep Scouting alive within the Lutheran church, but if that changes, we’ll find out when they tell us.”

Lifrak said that her council did not do a grace period, and already had collected the re-chartering paperwork from a majority of its units.

Heart of America Council Scout Executive Kendrick Miller wrote in an email that his council had 17 packs and troops chartered to synod groups, and had seen no “change in support for these Scouting units.”

Miller’s council serves 19 counties in eastern Kansas and western Missouri and has 1,100 units.
