  1. Eamonn, your points are well taken. Somethings have changed like the Tigers are now part of the Cub Scouts ranks, wearing the blue shirts and earning the Tiger Badge. If experience states one thing, and "newbies" state another. What then?
  2. ScoutNut I don't disagree with your comments at all. But trying to come up with a winning strategy for keeping Tiger Cub's is a little hard when that isn't any general consensus to its direction. I equate it to having 4 directors trying to make one movie together. Each having their own style and thoughts to the movie they each want to make. But they still somehow need to collarabrate to make a single movie. To be quite honest with you, if everyone went to the leadership training and took the time to read the leader handbook and their Boys handbook it would help out more in the lo
  3. I'm a newbie to Cub Scouts, and a newly trained TL. I believe the problem is having to many hands in the pot. With up to 9 little guys and 9 plus adults in attendance boredom sets in quickly with the PARENTS not the kids.

  5. Thanks for the assistance OldGreyEyes, and everyone else on this forum. What I meant by the Pack Leadership stating that the Leader books were just guides, was in the frame of mind that "you can pick and choice what you want and then reinterpret to your liking." As far as the "pseudo" ADL, the behaviour boils down to undermining. As I was at training, ADL went to the Pack Committee Meeting for the sole purpose to object the Code of Conduct exercise. The District Chair and Unit Commissioner were in attendance, they came away not knowing what the real issue was when I asked. The
  6. Figure this is an issue that has political spins to it. But if it's not the right forum, please point the way! It's only been a 3 weeks since my Boy and I joined the Cub Scouts. I've heard the stories and read on-line that a common issue in Scouting there is never enough volunteers. So when asked I gladly volunteered to be a Tiger Cub Den Leader. (I've got my Trained strip Monday.) Come to find out that the Assistant Den Leader wanted the "Top position. This wasn't just a "Hey, I wanted that position!", but passive agressive, "Hey, I wanted that position!" Little backgroun
