sctmom 11 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I have been asked to be Cubmaster. Link to post Share on other sites
OneHour 11 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Whooo hoooo ... go for it sctmom. from your 1378 postings ... you are a natural for the Cubmastership! It's fun ... more so than the committee side. Just let the proverbial "hair down" and have some fun with the boys and with the parents and you'll do just fine! It takes the same one hour on the program side! Congrats on getting a job that's worth all the while! 1Hour (former Cubmaster) Link to post Share on other sites
CubsRgr8 10 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Wow! You'll be great! Enthusiasm is 80% of the job, with knowledge and experience 60% each. Yeah, I know that adds up to 200%, but we all know that's what you always give the boys! Link to post Share on other sites
sctmom 11 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 Wow, forgot I hadn't updated my profile in a while. I'm a Bear Den Leader this year. Didn't do much as a Troop committe member. I was asked because I keep showing up for stuff -- guess he figured if I'm crazy enough to keep showing up after my son crossed over, I'm crazy enough to be cubmaster.

Eamonn 61 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 That is wonderful. Cub Scouts are so much fun, at times the Den leaders are even more fun. It truly is a great program. Link to post Share on other sites
ozemu 10 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Your nuts. Cubs are scary. Good on you. Link to post Share on other sites
ASM1 10 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Excellent! But I have a question. If your son crossed over, why didn't you cross and become an Assistant Scoutmaster in his new troop, or a committee member? Just a question. I support your decision totally because adult leaders in any aspect of Scouting should be applauded! ASM1 Link to post Share on other sites
sctmom 11 Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 ASM1, Good question...a few answers. I was committee member for the troop he crossed over to. Last fall he decided to quit Scouting, he was REALLY hating it, to the point it was disruptive for others at the troop meeting. At that same time I found out the pack was having problems getting some leaders because many crossed over and a few moved out of the area. It looks like my son may be getting into a different troop. Of course I will help out but he doesn't need me around all the time. In fact he needs me to not be there --- otherwise he thinks he should get special treatment. I like working with the Cubs and hate to see our pack failing. My first priority, even before I officially take over, is to find a replacement from the parents of the Tigers and Wolves...hehehe.

Eagledad 2777 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 This sounds to me like the next step going toward those changes you were wanting to make in your District that you talked about a few months ago. I have this strange feeling that this is just the next step in bigger things to come. Best of luck to you. I love this scouting stuff Barry Link to post Share on other sites
sctmom 11 Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 Any great words of wisdom from anyone? Other than "buy lots of headache medicine" LOL Our pack has been small this year but we've been having fun. Since the beginning of January we have had: PWD B&G Scouting for Food An overnight field trip Scout Sunday Scout Show Council sponsored Scout day at the Racetrack 7 Den Meetings 2 Pack Meetings Webelos Crossover at last night's Pack Meeting PLUS a week break from school (no meetings) Link to post Share on other sites
