This message is sent out frustration that I've built up over the past year of being a member of my Pack's Committee. I am finding that the endless "issues" that must be addressed at a Pack level (how to spend Pack Funds; planning the group activities; dealing with requests from District and Council) seriously detract from the basic intent of the Cub Scout program when it is really supposed to "enhance" it. We're a small pack with a small, core team of leaders. All of whom are great but all are finding the administration of running the pack is seriously cutting into our time with our sons on the core elements of the program - i.e. rank requirements, electives, etc...
I'm really finding that when it comes down to it - I like the program but I don't like the organizational structure. Does anybody else feel that way?
