That's a problem. Minimum 3 unrelated individuals should have admin rights to any unit social media accounts or unit website.

Okay, Troop. Dump your gear in your tents and come back here to the table in five minutes.... Great. Is everyone here? Okay. On the count of three, everyone point to the campsite bulletin board.1,2,3.... uh huh. good. Now, put your hands down, on three, point to YOUR Patrol Leader... 1, 2, 3... Uh huh, you sure about that, Stan? Uh huh.... Alright, now on three, point to the SPL... 1, 2, 3. POINT awright then. Yep, that's Jake... Jake? I'll see you later. I have a Scoutmaster meeting at the Camp Office. Get the camp ready. Bye....

I’m currently staffing a summer camp so I’ve seen different things this week. I see some campers with a map and everything, but the best approach is using the bulletin board each campsite commonly has with all of the information they may need. If you have scouts that are in a first year scout program (I work in one), there isn’t a big need for them to have every bit of information since usually they will be with their instructors for the entire day.

The CC cannot remove a CM, nor a SM. Only the COR/IH can remove someone.

I'm inclined toward Lao Tzu's quote in the Troop Leader Guidebook: A leader is most effective when people barely know he exists. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: "we did it ourselves"

Just tell your friendly unit commissioner that he can do your scut work...

Interesting that the question is what do we give versus what information is available. For our troop on the troop website there are links to all the needed detail. If a Scout needs or wants some detail, it is there. At camp we have an information board with camp map, the schedule the scout signed up for, troop activities, the overall camp schedule etc etc etc. If a Scout has a question, we say "check the board"

If the boys want to build gateways etc, they can usually get all the materials they need from the camp Quartermaster. They don't need to wait for adults to give them stuff.

As it happens, my home council, Heart of America, appears to be one of the first out of the starting blocks with Arrow women. Tamegonit #147 held a special winter induction

From scouting.org - https://www.scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/how-cub-scouting-is-organized/ Further on the same page: Seems pretty clear to me. The COR appoints the CC. The CC in turn then secures enough adults to run the program. The COR approves the CC's choice. Notice that the only position appointed by the COR is the CC. Further, Committee Chair, as the top volunteer, leads the adult team that runs the pack - that includes the Cubmaster. If the Cubmaster isn't doing his/her job, it's the CC's duty to replace him/her. Again, these discussions are very aca
