Jack,

The ultimate criteria for deciding whether to seek out a new chartered
partner is whether it will be beneficial to the Scouts. If your
chartering organization is not living up to its committment, it is time
to consider moving to a new one that will give the Scouts more support to
have a quality program. Almost every DE that I know will be happy to
have units growing with more membership instead of lingering and
declining. They may not want to see a unit lost, but total numbers are
important to them too. And if moving will create the potential for
growth, they should be supportive. When I was a Cubmaster, I arranged a
transfer for my Pack from one Chartering Organization to another and the
end result was a doubling of Pack size, twice the number of trained
leaders, more money, more space, etc. No one has regretted the move.

Speaking for myself only in the Scouting Spirit, Michael F. Bowman
