Executive Pay Controversy
In 2007 it was disclosed that the leader of the Great Salt Lake Council received more than $200,000 a year in compensation. Executive pay became an issue again in 2011 during the annual Friends of Scouting campaign. During that time, a scout leader in an LDS ward distributed a disclaimer that the Friends of Scouting monies do not directly benefit the local Scout troop, but are used to pay expenses at the Council and National level, including executive pay which he felt was excessive. The leader was subsequently removed from his scouting role by his ecclesiastical leaders.

They feel guilty for not being at work, and angry for being manipulated into feeling this guilt. . . . They don’t quite fit at home. They don’t quite fit at work.”
