We just started a new pack and I found out that balooo training has been cancled again. There has not been a baloo training in my council for 2 years. I went on to other local council web sites and I have missed there training for baloo. So if I am correct I can not take my scouts camping this summer. What can I do to ratify the situation? My scouts want to go camping this summer really bad. I am in Bay Area Council in Texas. HELP

In our pack we do not have the problem of lack of leadership. We do however have couples that are both active in the pack. We have two couples (my self included) that one of the adults is a den leader and the other is a committee member. I am the tiger den 2 leader and my wife is the advancements chair. I have found that I really did not know how stressfull advancements can be when she is trying to do advancements for 40 boys on a busy month. So I took it upon my self to help with advancements and try to figure a way to make it easier so that when my wife decides to step down that the next person will not be stressed out and quit. I ended up making a excell spread sheet that was devided up into dens with the boys names and blank spots for the den leaders to fill in the activity and put a notation by each boy who should get the award. If my wife was never involved I would have never known how stressful her job can be. So in short I believe that couples are ok but you have to make sure that conflict of intrest is nonexistent.
