Thank''s to everyone for your input. As far as approval for the fundraiser...I don''t know where that came from b/c I was an assist. Den Leader (a different den) when all of this came about. However I do know that Council approval is required for Fundraising (I have done alot of research on alot of matters in my short tenure as Cubmaster!). I don''t know how alot of things where handled prior to my current reponsibilities but I intend to stay within BSA policies especialy to avoid conflicts like this one. As far as competition...I agree that it is not in the best interest of the boys however, I do know that this Den has not flaunted thier fundraising or activities. I also don''t think that this den should be penalized for their actions b/c they are very active in comparison to other dens in our pack (we have 9 dens & 75 scouts). I would love to see ALL of our leaders & parents working together to insure a program full of fun & action for their dens. My biggest goal as Cubmaster is making our Pack fun with new events and a more enjoyable/entertaining Pack meeting. Thanks again for giving your guidence and I am sure you will be hearing from me often...I look forward to getting experienced advice!

I am a new CM & I have a situation where a Den has had a fundraiser that brought in approx. $1000.00, the Den assigned a Den Treasurer & opened it''s own checking acct. The Den then used most of it''s money for Cub Camp and the rest has been used for thier activities & projects. They have been managing fine with no issues. Now the previous CM who is now a commitees member has advised the Den Leader to immeadiately shut down the account & turn the funds over to the pack treasurer who will handle the Den''s money. I have looked thru everything I have & on the council web site & can not find any regulation stating that a Den can not have it''s own checking acct. If anyone can give me some direction as to past experience with a situation like this and/or where I can find regulations regarding this matter, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,
