Doesn't the rule about no one person being registered for more than one position in a unit apply here? Looks like Bob Whire Got there a second or two before me!(This message has been edited by scoutmaster424)

What else id it? The one who is more popular, or can persuade the boys to vote his way, gets the job. We just had our elections, too. We have grown from one small patrol to two. I did give my speach that they should elect someone because they will do the best job as the PL or SPL, not because they are popular. But it was thier choice. The popular one got the job (again). The New Scout Patrol consists of boys who are not well aquianted with each other and only had 4 boys show up. Two boys raised their hand for patrol leader and the patrol elected the boy who's hand wen

Our troop will be attending Camp Friedlander near Loveland Ohio in the Dan Beard Council. It is newly renovated this year with a new lake, a/c dining hall and new camp facilities. http://www.danbeardcamps.org Wanna know why the boys chose that camp this year? Flush tiolets!!

I did boy talks at the school with the 5th and 6th graders in late April and an open house at the Church taht charters us in early May. Things went as well as can be expected. Out of the 100 or so positive responses I had 6 boys join and 2 transfer from other troops. Better than the 5% average for our area. Our district is also having what they are calling a county wide sign up night this fall and if it works out well, they will do it in both counties that make up the district next year. They plan a full blown add campaigne coomplete with Billboards, posters, flyers, school boy talks

Exactly right Fscouter! No one wants to commit to anything. I have to go outside the troop committee to get BOR members because the troop committee is made up of parents. I have yet to find anyone that is willing to commit to signing the paperwork, even if it means all they have to do is be on the BOR every couple months. I have stood up in church (our CO)every service for the month of February asking the people to do this. I got no response. In the real world here, If I were running the fiasco they call little league baseball here, I'd have hundreds of people willling to help and si

I understand the reasons for certain people to not be allowed on the BOR. Let me clarify my situation a bit. Our troop committee consists of the CC and two parents. I am the SM, I have one ASM who quite coming to meeitngs because it interfered with his seeing "Survivor." We have troop meetings only when one of the commttee member is there too. I have cancelled outings because we have no other adult leaders or supervision. And if we don't find some soon, I fear the worst! So, to me, A CC (with a van)who is interested in participating every couple months is a God send. So, I gue

Bob White You mentioned a possible problem with the CC being active with the boys and serving on the Board of review. I realize that this situation is the CC acting as an ASM. Mine is a bit different but similar. Our CC will attend some outings with us to help with supervision, such as summer camp & rafting trips and at times, will march in parades, attend open houses, etc. But he usually does not interact with the boys on a regular basis, such as troop meetings and monthly campouts. So my question is: How active would you say is too active? Would it be inappropriate
