I am currently a Webelos 2 Den Leader in a top notch Pack. The Pack is chartered to the parent / teacher organization at our elementary school. Next spring I will be starting a new troop which will be chartered to a local church. The other leaders in the Pack would like to see our new troop be a continuation for the boys and have the same number. Are there any national policies on the same number being used by different charter organizations?

No, but your council has rules. Ours will hold a number for a period of time after a unit folds, in case they are able to get it restarted. Generally, if the number is available in your council, you can have it. If someone else has it, your out of luck.

We were told that the chartered organization holds the number wheither it is for a pack, troop or crew. We planned to have a crew 111, (we are troop 111) and we were told that we must have the same chartered org. It is always interesting to see the different rules in different councils... and how they always fall back by saying it is nationals decision **smile**

You can always ask your DE

Does the church (CO) care what number you get?

In our district we currently have three different scenarios. Some of our CO's have a pack and troop and a possibly crew with the same numbers. Some of the CO's units have totally different numbers, that are not even close to each other.

We even have a pack with the same number as a troop and they are on opposite sides of town with different CO's

Talk about confusing :)
