I'm so glad I posted. I've gained a lot of info I didn't know or didn't think about. We have a lot more options available to us than we realized. These postings have made me a little more brave about voicing my opinion w/ less tact than I've used before. In doing so, I've also recently realized that I have more allies in our pack than I knew. Before I didn't want to push to hard against the grain but now I figure what have I (or my sons) got to lose. I really don't want to pull my W2 out this late in the game with an established friend base in his den. Scout Nut, you had asked how my boy

Scout Nut & Scouting Mom, Thank You so Much!! Your posts were so helpful. We like the people in this pack and really don't want to jump ship yet but we've been so frustrated. DH was involved in the CA pack but said life was too short to deal with the whiners in this pack. "Chipping away at a mountain" is exactly how it feels, great analogy! When you see the potential of that mountain it makes it real hard to give up. Our CO is very much like Souting Mom's CO. He shows up for the pledge drive and rarely makes it to a round-up other than that he's a man in a nice costume. Our co

I'm sorry. I thought that my knowledge & involvment in the flag ceremony, the derby, and the committee would have made it clear that I am a trained leader (for 2 dens), and involved in various other facets. I also mentioned "we figured we'd just share ideas and maybe add some life to this stagnant pack" and there's obviously no other way to effect change than to be involved, so I figured my invovlment would be a given. I was just hoping someone might be able to shed light on some way to come across that may be get a better response from the powers that be. I feel like my hands are tied

I'm not sure where to begin. My rant has been festering for 3 yrs. When we moved here we left a pack that we absolutely loved (excited, dedicated, involved leaders). After spring round-up we decided on an active outdoors type pack, to later be told that our son was the only wolf they had but another pack had more wolfs but only one (?). so we were switched to a different pack. From the first mtg it just didn't "fit" but we figured we'd just share ideas and maybe add some life to this stagnant pack (baby steps). EVERY idea was not even entertained, quickly dismissed as too much hassle,

Thank You!! I was under the impression that there were some major changes. It looks like they just changed some verbage and did some condensing. The electives weren't listed. Do you know if the electives changed? Thanks again,

Hello scouters! I'm in a bit of a qaundry. All of my bears went to day camp. We just recieved the list of acheivements/electives comleted at day camp. There's just one minor problem! The list is useless because they based it on the old bear book (prior to 2003). We've been trying to contact the person who made the list or anyone in our pack w/ a an old bear book but with no luck. Can anyone help? The activities weren't even listed so we can't even match them up. We tried interagating our boys but that was a wild goose chase. If someone has an old bear book (?-2002)maybe I can
