I don't know how to not make this long, please bare with me.. My older son, now 13 started as a Tiger and crossed over from our local Pack to the Troop 2 years ago. I was his Webelos leader for both years, we had a great team of dedicated, seasoned leaders, and because of that I didn't get really involved in the administrative stuff..Now, 2yrs later, my 6yr old joined the Pack in August, right away, I knew something was terribly wrong.
