I am a rule follower. It's my personality. At some point, it gets ridiculous. But, Tron sounds right. Consider a full merger instead. Sitting on the fence about merging causes it's own trouble (coordination, emotions, cost of who pays for what, etc). A full merger is easier and better in the long run. And, you don't have to ask permission. It's just a member transfer from Pack X to Pack Y. As for assets (tents, cash, etc), Pack X donates their assets to Pack Y. No one will ask and it works smoother that way. -

Sounds like a modified version of a Christian song with these lyrics: Lyrics First version Jesus, Jesus, Can I tell you how I feel? You have given me Your spirit. I love You so. Second version Jesus, Jesus, Can I tell you what I know? You have given me Your spirit. I love You so. -
No, I have had no response until you right now. I too discovered nothing online. The story was told to me I believe when the song was sung at a closing campfire at an event in the seventies I think, in the old Great Western Council. The words I recall were varied, though that could be my old mind. "America, America. How can we/I tell you how we/I feel? You have brought us so many treasures. We love you so. A second stanza, or just version, replaces treasures with pleasures. Simple and very meaningful, especially if it was sung on the tarmac as American scouts left a Japanese gathering of some sort. I do know that the BSA was involved in reestablishing Scouting in Japan, so it might relate to that, rather than a Jambo. Or it might simply be "lore". -

Greenwich Council covers only just Greenwich, CT. Sometimes it comes down to the donors.
