May lose pack

[ScoutNut 147]

Vicki, he did not state the church is LDS. He stated that, LIKE LDS, their church has rules that they must follow.

 

Yes, LDS has rules, but they do make sure there is sufficient leadership because the leaders are appointed by the church.

 

In your case, the church is effectively tying your Pack's CC's hands and stopping them from recruiting leaders instead of fulfilling their function as CO and ensuring the Pack has sufficient leadership. As the CC of the Troop you can not even solicit help from your Boy Scout parents because of the CO's volunteerism rules.

 

As a Webelos den leader there is not a whole lot you can do. This is up to the Pack's CC, CM, COR and CO, with some assistance from the UC and DE.

Just to let you know I am the CC for the "Troop" and am just trying to facillitate a resolution to the problem. I as CC of the Troop as well as our Scoutmaster have gotten involved at the request of the CC of the Pack. If it where not for that we would not be involved in this. As you can imagine we do not want to lose the Pack. We are looking at 4 Webelos crossing over this year. It would not be a good thing to lose our pack. Our pack was considered to be one of the top Packs in the area. But things can turn around fast. For your information the Troop does not meet on a Church night. We found out that it is better that way.

That is how we see it also. Up until this last year we always had "Adequate" help. People would volunteer if we "quietly" let them know we needed the help. But this year it did not work out.
