Tough night last night. The decision to fold the troop was made last night. We been trying to recruit on our own because council is not helping, despite repeated requests. With only 4 Scouts, three of whom are in band, and one is just staying in until they get Eagle and really has no interest in camping but has no choice as he still needs Camping MB, it is now impossible to have an active outdoor program. Both the de facto CC and I realized this last nite when we tried to organize dates for November, December, and January. October was already out of play. We have not told anyone yet. I do not want to fold the troop just yet, as there are some 'housekeeping" things I want done. Finding troops for them is first and foremost, but will be challenging. All four have burnt bridges with at least one troop in the area. And another troop is in the same situation we are in: no Cub Scout feeder pack. They got an infusion of 2-3 Scouts when another troop folded this year, but otherwise are in the boat with no prospects for new Scouts after this year. Even if we merge with them, that only delays the inevitable. Also we are going to pay registration fees, but summer camp may be more challenging. We want to leave enough money with the CO to restart the church at a later date, if possible. And summer camp prices are skyrocketing. Sorry for the rambling, but it has been tough for me to get e grip on this decision. -
The attorney's name is Lawrence Friedman. He has partnered Timothy Silverman. This issue will be handled relatively quickly in the bankruptcy court. The retainer agreement is on contingency with no risk to us. The contingency fee agreement is a fraction of the 40% the Slater firm agreement. They were just admitted Pro Hac Vice. https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/e4a3c757-8462-49e1-b1a8-abdbea5c3f3d_13149.pdf https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/c9074ad5-add0-4e84-b240-349e4b854098_13148.pdf This is how Lawrence and Timothy are going to get fee agreements voided.. Here is information about Lawrence that @MYCVAStory posted last year. Its a good read. We are in good hands -
My scouts are so slow about updating their rank patches that maybe they would be better served by just handing down their shirts to the kid who just made their last rank! -
That is very frustrating and I'm sorry it wasn't the outcome you should have had. -
