If it's the end completely then I think that's shame, although I won't be sad to see the awful branding going.
Fact is that one of the core parts of scouting, of being youth led, is often only paid lip service to and the whole youth shape program was a very well intentioned and timely attempt to bring that back. What it shouldn't be though is a short term campaign. What it needs is for the concept of youth led/patrol system to be more fully imbedded in the adult training.
I reckon at least half the threads on 1st Facebook could be replied to with one sentence, which is "go and ask your patrol leaders (or equivalent)"
