Summer Scouting

It's midsummer for some of our school districts, but back-to-school for others. I'd say about 20% of our scouting district is in a modified year-round school. Is that a high enough number to modify the scouting schedule to at least include some of those?  We try to accomodate religious differences (ie, not having all scouting activities on Saturdays), wouldn't school schedule differences fall into the same kind of category?

For instance, the Pimaree last year was right after school started for the year-round districts. How difficult would it have been to move it back a week to accomodate those schedules?

Especially when, looking at the district from a monetary angle, many of those units are your top FoS units and top popcorn selling units. Not to mention all of the kids who are in church-based units (vs. geographically-based units) who go to school there.
