  1. Congrats on everything.  Totally awesome.   My two cents.  Become a Merit Badge Counselor/Committee Member and help when you can.  Also, you could become a Unit Commissioner.  Slowly ease your way into Scouting.  Being a SM is time consuming and you have a family.  That is more important.

    As to fundraising...Well, that is for the Committee Chair and Committee to figure out.  The SM is in charge of the program, not administration.

  2. Scouting in the LDS is all Male.  Except for Primary.  Moms fill the roles.  Outside of that, Moms fill a lot of roles because Dads are busy working or just not there.  I do not see it happening.  It also would go counter to what the rest of the WOSM is already doing.  We need to stop being so isolationalist.  Did not work for Japan or China. 

  3. The UC is a friend to a Scout Unit and not registered with them. If your a UC and doing Training, you can be a part of the District Training Team. Great that you can do ASL and provide that service to others.

    FYI: There is a Wood Badge done in ASL in Utah.

    There is CC on it too.
  4. It is the same within my council. Every change in Adult Positions, a new App is required.

    Have your husband send an email to the CC & COR stating that he is not the CM, but are Den Leaders. You are not forced to do anything.

     

    Time for you both, if possible to go to Roundtable and find the District Commissioner and let them know what is going on. You cannot take over the Pack.

    There is training within the District for all positions. Go to them and tell the Pack Leaders that you are.

     

    The CC & COR are not doing any service to the youth of the Pack. They need to move on. Parents need to step-up and take on positions within the Pack.

    Hence, my note about finding the District Commissioner. They can get you a Unit Commissioner to help get your pack pointed in the right direction. They also can get the District Training Chair/Team involved and get everyone trained. The District Exec can look over the Charter and see what's going on with that.

  5. Not all Council's are having the Direct Contact Leaders Training Mandate. 20 were piloted and about 60 others voluntarily did. The volunteer Councils had a higher success rate. Plus, it's up to the SE as to what Program is supposed to be. Cubscouts is way easier, but it also starts promoting training and getting them used to the idea of GETTING TRAINED.

     

    Check with your Council Training Chair, they can tell you what you need to know.

  6. The Charter Organizations hold the power.....they can force the BSA into submission. They should act fast since a lot of Council's are right at the start/middle of Re-Charter Season.... It will seriously mess-up everything.

     

     

  7. I took my WFA via REI that contracted WMI to put it on. At the sametime a fellow Scoutmaster took the ARC course. Both were identical. Must have been the trainer you had.

     

    I did just re-up my First Aid/CPR/AED via ARC. The First Aid totally sucked. A Webelos would be bored. The AED/CPR was good.

     

    It's all about the presenter/trainer.

     

    FYI: WMI is $200 and ARC is $100.
