Hello everyone, Well, this is a plan we have been working on for over a year now and we plan to put it into action this year. This somewhat rewrites the troop structure and especially the leadership patrol. We have put this idea to our DE with encouraging response so far. I beleive he wants to see a working model. Here it is. Up until now the leadership patrol has an appointed position of Den Cheif that may or may not change at every election. Sometimes the Den Cheif is an unwilling appointee and does little to fulfill his duties. Our idea is to remove the Den Cheif position from the leadershi

Our Charter Organization came to us and suggested a fund raising program that could generate thousands of dollars. But I have been told it is a NO NO! Let me explain. Our CO wants to donate a new computer system for our troop to raffle off. Selling 2000 tickets at $5.00 each. Two people have told me that Boy Scout troops cannot hold raffles. Is this true? And is there a way our CO can hold the raffle and donate the prceeds to the troop? I really need some advice because we want to capitalize on this while the offer is still valid.
