What a great idea! Thanks for the resources. I'm not REALLY sure I understand it yet, but I'll read it more later. We've done double elimination for so long I still can't grasp every boy racing in every heat. But I have a college degree so maybe I'll get it eventually.!!!

Yeah, we had the movie through here in September. This Dad actually laughs and claims to be that dad with no guilt. Sad, really. We have emphasized that for several years -- it's just he doesn't care. It wasn't a problem until the UC pushed through the rules that aided and abetted the problem. The guy was able to REALLY show his skills to win his son a trophy!! LOL The workshops are a great idea, too! Thanks

Wow! What FABULOUS ideas from everyone! I appreceiate the clarification on Committees and Race suggestions! Thanks resqman for all the details!

If it is the new CC's job, he's already the puppet of the UC because the UC sounds very knowledgable. Also, who

Sorry -- I didn't make it clear. UC is on the committee as Activities and Advancements Chair. HIS son is on the committee as a Committee Member and is the one creating the beautiful Regatta and Derby crafts. He is probably 27. The UC's GRANDSON is the Wolf Cub

The year before, I started with my Tiger Den our Pack had three inactive boys. Now I lead Webelos and our Pack has over 50 boys -- more than 1/3 of the boys in the whole school! Yay!!!! Up to now, we have been functioning very informally with a Cubmaster and three or four Leaders in a school with very little parent support. We have been able to avoid many of the problems of more competitive Packs because of the poor economic level. This year, we were excited to get a Pack Committee. It is a very NEW group of people and our Unit Commissioner (who managed to get put on the committee as
