We don't really have an AC, we only have a CM and ACM. I am working on possibly taking over the CM position at the beginning of the year, and if I do, I hope to change a lot of thing, including have an AC. Currently, the boys are only given their awards at various pack meetings through the year, not at the next pack meeting like they are supposed to. Also, (and this really bothers me) when they get their awards, they are handed to them in a ziplock baggy (mostly because there are a ton for each child due to the lenghth of time) and pretty much just told what they are receiving as they are w

The cub master purchases them, and then either the parent reimburses him, or it's taken out of the scout's account from fundraising. They are handed out a few meetings, not at every pack meeting as per BSA policy (which I just learned a few weeks ago, son is a wolf). Most pack meetings are business meetings which really bothers me now that I know that's not how it's supposed to be. I may be becoming the CM at the beginning of the calendar year, so hopefully I can get some changes in place, and maybe even before then. We do the standard popcorn sales, and a camp card fundraiser. A cert

In our pack, the parents purchase all patches and rewards except for the rank badges. I have heard of other packs where the pack purchases all awards, patches, belt loops, and pins. So what does your pack do?

That is what I was thinking it would be, since wolves cannot attend the week long camps on their own. My son attended Day Camp(I know this isn't a resident camp), and Partner and Pal camp over the summer, and there are 2 other council overnight events coming up in Oct. So he has/will get that elective.

In the wolf handbook one of the electives is to Attend a Resident Camp in Your Area. What constitutes a resident camp? Is it any overnight camp?

I have taken all of the Fast Track and Leader specific training available at Myscouting.org. That's what got the bug in my ear that things were running right. The den leaders will help, we offered to help the current CM, and we talked to the bear DL who said he has also asked to help. The current Webelos II DL is also the current ACM. Our current CM said the pack would pay for my husband and I to get BALOO trained, which will be in November at the local council's POW WOW. The CM and ACM as far as I know are the only 2 BALOO trained in our pack. My uncle is a Park Ranger for the county, a

I understand where you both of you are coming from, my intitial goal is to fix things for the kids. Except for Christmas, raingutter regada, pinewood derby and the blue and gold banquet, they pack meetings are business meetings. Until I started doing all the research to help my husband this year with the wolf den, I didn't know it was supposed to be different. I want the kids to be able to get their recognitions at more than these meetings also (currently those are the only times they get their patches, pins etc). I want to build in more cohesion with the pack, and let the kids have more

Here is what I have so far, just did the border Friday (not perfect, but first time doing it...lol). Nothing besides the border is attached yet, and I actually got a big Cub Scout badge to possibly put in the middle instead of the fleur de les. I'm waiting to go farther yet until after our first meeting after recruitment. Yes we only have 4 in our den, we lost a lot last year, again, like I said, we have a lot of issues with our pack, the I am working on resolving this year. http://s216.photobucket.com/albums/cc187/koltonjb/?action=view&current=001.jpg

My husband was the den leader of our son's Tiger Den last year, and is the Wolf Den leader this year. Our current Cub Master added me on as the asst den leader this year, since I have joined my husban with leading the meetings. I may be becoming the Cub Master in the next year, I haven't made up my mind yet. Our current CM's son moved up to Boy Scouts last year, so he is ready to move on, and pretty much only sticking around because no one else will step up. Our ACM's son will be moving up in the spring. I'm still stradling the fence, mostly because I know there are a lot of issues that n

There are too many issues with our pack to mention, and I may be becoming the Cubmaster soon, so I hope I can get them corrected. Anywhoo, I am currently the assistant den leader of my son's wolf den, and we have made a den flag. I am hoping to get the other dens to also make a den flag (until I started doing research, I had never heard of a den flag, so no one else had either). I was wondering what awards your pack gives to the dens on a monthly basis. I have read about attendance awards and uniform awards for dens with the most cubs in uniform. Are there any other ideas, and and what ki
