"Your committee members need to step forward and start handling the administrative tasks, relieving the CM to concentrate on the program. Talk of replacing him because he cannot do the work of 6 people and is disorganized is not fair to him. "
FScouter: What if the CM is having (has) a very hard time allowing others to do their job. We have a couple of very great committee members and a ACM who will do what we ask of them, but CM trys to "be a martyr" and take on too many tasks themselves.... We do not have the strongest committee to begin with, but when you try to do something and are not left alone to do it the way you see fit (within regulations and rules mind you) parents get discouraged from serving on the committee. CM is pretty much unable to delgate completly. I have had to say more than once on events I was planning for the pack, "I got it, don't worry, it is under control, just show up" (I am outspoken) And let me remind everyone that CO is of no help whatsoever here.. In the perfect world the CO would oversee these things, District would care aobut your problems etc... but Podunk USA it just ain't happening, so it has become the parents job to oversee this program and we are struggling....
Thanks
