Thx for replying. My apologies for the confusing terms -- I am still trying to learn the 'lingo' so to speak. Our pack consists of 3 small towns close by each other - each town has their own collective dens (tigers,wolves,bears,webelos) who meet weekly in church halls and a community center. We have 1 cubmaster and one committee chair for all three and all together we are one pack. When I say "unit" I mean each separate town with their own dens - I don't know how else to describe it. Our "town" (which is where the CM and CC also act as den leaders) wants to re-charter a

I hope this is the board to post this ... maybe some of you more experienced scouters can give me some advice please. Our leadership is in a bit of dissaray and I am in a bit of a quandary. We have a very experienced committee chair (who is also our Webelos den leader for 3 units!), hardly any committee members, a cubmaster (who needs help!) and 2 den leaders (including myself) who regularly attend meetings and show a sincere interest in the pack. We recently had one parent volunteer to be on the committee and another as an assistant den leader for the webelos. But, we also ha

Aah - group therapy! Is there a 12-step program for learning to say no? If so maybe I should join too. I might be developing a problem with not being able to say "no". I find that I'm spending more and more time doing things for the troop outside of my "den leader" assignments, maybe this is a red-flag. ;D

Thx braintshore I've been reading through the older posts and have already picked up on a lot of great information! Thank you! I do have questions, but I want to see if they have been covered here already. We've got a float in our local Christmas Parade this coming Saturday and I volunteered to paint the banners (10' long to go on both sides). It's quite a job and it's been keeping me very busy for the last 2 days. The scouts, parents and leaders have all been fantastic so I think it's going to be a very successful float. We may even win the $100 prize for best float! *holdin

Thx for the warm welcomes. Baden - yes - it is a reference to the song. I attended our recent Pow Wow and it was one of the songs we sang during opening ceremonies. I was laughing so hard also I couldn't finish singing it, it is now my favorite. I'm looking forward to chatting more with you all.

Hi, I've just signed up and would like to introduce myself. My name is Anthea and I'm a new Wolf Den Leader for our Pack 290 here in Mounds, OK. I'm hoping to learn a lot of good information and tips from all you experienced cubbers and scouters, I do have a lot to learn! Nice to meet you all.
