Beavah, the 2 schools and the 2 pack meeting locations are each about 1 mile apart, so location isn't a big factor. The schools are big enough to each support a pack. The Large Pack has about 65 Cubs. They are rather heavy in 2nd year Webelos, and will be losing some leadership with those Webelos. There are people who prefer the flexibility of a small pack, but most parents prefer to be able to take their kids to meetings and not be pressured into taking a pack position. I appreciate all of the advice. I have summarized it and will present it at a parent's meeting to be scheduled

Thanks for all the speedy advice and the event ideas. It's tough to get parents to do training unless they really want to. Unfortunately it takes commitment. I might consider it, but my wife thinks I'm wasting my time trying to keep the old pack afloat. The camping invitation from the troop was for the Webelos.

We don't have a committee per se, though I suppose that would mean all the parents. There are 4 or 5 parents total available to help out, including the leaders. Our biggest problem is we need more "leaders" to help plan things. We need to recruit adults more than

Hi everyone, This is my first posting here. I am a parent in a Cub Scout pack that has experienced a significant drop in membership, and may not be able to survive the year. I am looking for opinions on whether it is worth saving it, and if so, how to bring in more boys and parents. So here's my story. Pardon the length, but I want to describe the whole situation to see what advice you may have. We live in a city neighborhood with well-defined boundaries. There are two Cub Scout packs, each of which have a Boy Scout troop having a common unit number and chartered org. Both
