JeffD, If an award cost $2 charge everyone $2. Don''t charge those who don''t participate in the fund raiser $2.05. If you have annual dues that are the same for everyone, this should include the cost of awards. If it doesn''t you should redo your Pack budget & figure it in. And if they are the same for everyone, that's fair. What is not fair is charging more to one Cub than another. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10(This message has been edited by evmori)

I was at work talking to my ASM on the phone when he told me a plane just crashed into the WTC. Later that day after I got home, I received a call from my wife''s pen pal of 30 years who lives in South Africa. She heard about this on the news and also heard about Flight 93 crashing near Pittsburgh & wanted to make sure we were OK. My daughter then walked in from high school then it really set in.

any other suggestions? Don''t over charge for awards. Actually, don''t charge at all! That should have been figured into your Pack budget before you set the $25 annual fee. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

What''s the purpose of a tour permit? Probably to let you council know where you are taking your unit & supposedly to ensure the proper traveling procedures are followed. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

Sounds familiar. I love it when I hear stuff like this! Makes ya wonder what these boys do at home! Like someone posted, they woulda left anyways! A lot of attrition happens when 1st year Scouts think Boy Scouts is 3rd year WEBELOS. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

Break out the reflector ovens!

Go with what CalicoPenn posted. Then find another fund raiser! We sold hoagies & pizzas. Did real well. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

I''m using Firefox, too, LisaBob. Mine is back to normal but I''m not holding my breath. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

Is anyone else having trouble with the site? I have to click on each topic to see the new posts instead of looking at the date of last post which in my case shows Friday 9/7/2007. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

Don't sell popcorn! Sell hoagies or something else! That should solve the problem! Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

That stuff is way too expensive, but considering it's you LisaBob, I'll buy a box! Do ya take gas cards? Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

Pass some popcorn over here! Someone needs to tell the CM his sole responsibility if to run Pack meetings! The CC is actually the one in charge. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

Eric, This is a great site to check gas prices! Just pick you state or city! http://www.gasbuddy.com/ Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

Have you discussed this with you CC & COR? That's where I would go 1st. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

"IMO, I think the popcorn is priced way too high." You're free to sell it for any price you choose. HUH?

I remember LongHaul! SOX has nothing to do with Scouting!

Yup it's back!

Forget the numbers, LongHaul. The BSA is a private organization. SOX has nothing to do with private organizations! Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

No LongHaual, I don't understand what you are trying to say! SOX has nothing to do with Scouting! Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

What does SOX have to do with Scouting? The whole argument is hinged upon numbers stated by someone in Scouting that you disagree with LongHaul! That doesn't mean the BSA is talking out of both sides of it's mouth! It actually means nothing except you disagree with the stated numbers. Do you have any proof these numbers are wrong? Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

So the BSA can't show Scouts camping & use the money raised for LFL? That is totally absurd and it is something every organization that fund raises does! The United Way show those heart-wrenching videos but not all the money raised from this goes to that specific program! No proof yet! Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

When the BSA deliberately conflates between members & "participants" to deceive people it's an issue, Ed. And you have proof of this, Merlyn? Real proof not just your opinion. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

Well this does solve the getting cooties from girls epidemic!

So it's OK for every other organization to classify members differently but not OK for the BSA? Now that's talking out of both sides of your mouth! And no I don't have examples of other organizations doing the same thing, but that doesn't make it any less true! Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10

Are these charges true or just her way of trying to get rid of your replacement?
