I'm doing the internet recharter for our pack and ran into this problem of a Webelo aging out. We have a boy whose birthdate is December 1994, so he will be 12 this month. He's a "special needs" kid who does really well in scouts and will probably go on to a troop, it's just that he's a lot older than the other boys. He is still in fifth grade. The recharter program doesn't give me any options - just says he's too old to be a cub scout. I had this happen with another boy a few years ago and I just changed his birthdate in the computer. I don't like to lie, but has anyone else figured

We got word that the church that is the charter org. for our pack (and also for a troop in our area) no longer is willing to be our CO. The problem is that in our area we have very few churches (and only one has a real building - the rest meet at schools). We can't find another church or other organization willing to charter us. We have contacted our DE and he wasn't much help, although he mentioned that we could form our own group of parents and they could be our charter. The leadership of our pack, the troop and a new troop forming in our area have discussed forming this group and c

Cubmaster Jerry - If you treat people in your pack the way you treated me on this forum then I feel sorry for the members of your pack. You were incredibly rude and you owe me an apology. I certainly never made this issue personal and neither should you. Believe me, I can divide properly. So can the rest of the committee, several of whom are the parents of Webelos II and were affected by the decision. We do prorate for the new boys that start in September (they only pay that year's dues from September to December and then pay for the next year when we recharter). I know it sounds

I just wanted to follow up with how this story ended. We (the committee) never discussed this issue outside the committee. However, the mom involved apparently broadcast it all over about how unfair our rules were. I received an email from another parent in the pack who offered to pay this boy's dues anonymously so that she could make sure he could participate in AOL. We decided to accept the offer and received the dues for the boy. I emailed his mom and told her the situation and that since he was paid up there was no further need for discussion on the subject. I also said I was swor

I guess I need to give a few more details in this situation. I really appreciate the feedback. This boy is currently in his third den in our pack. None of the issues that made him change dens were with the boy (although he's really immature and does have some behavior issues). It's really the mom that has problems. We have tried our best over the last few years to keep things calm and under control but she is really difficult to work with. It is not that they can't afford the money. I don't know if a troop would accept him now. He just turned 10 a few weeks ago and as I said he

I need help with a touchy issue. I'm the treasurer of our pack. I am collecting dues for our recharter. We have the parent of one of our Webelos II who doesn't want to pay dues for 2006 because her son will be bridging to Boy Scouts in April. Our committee voted not prorate dues for Web. II scouts. Our dues are high - $75 per year - but that covers everything and we are a large pack and give out lots of awards. I did a budget analysis and that's what we need to get by next year with enough money to cover all our expenses. Anyway, this boy has almost met is AOL requirements. His due
