Thanks for the link, think these will work to get us of and running will pass link along to the DL'S thanks

maybe this will help. We have a charter rep, it is the school at this point, but a local church is going to be the new one, meaning that is where are to going to have our pack meetings, etc.. Some of the leaders have not paid and turned in applications yet, trying to get those turned into the DE. Which the DE has turned in the paper work yet, maybe he is waiting on the CO payment or?? My problem which is only me, is that if all that has not been done why have boys pay to join and not doing anything yet? what I see is some parents getting upset and pulling boys out, saying if that can't get together than.... again this only my view and only mine. As far as boys paying, not sure who has or has not? Just don't want the boys loose interest till we get it going.

Okay thanks, One question though is it okay to start meetings if we as a pac have not been offically approved? meaning all the paper work that the DE is sending off hs not been done yet? And that we are short people to fill the spot that we still need?

Just wanted to know if you have a brand new pack starting from scratch, how long does it take normally to get everything done, paperwork ,ect.. to be able to start den meetings? Just wondering what is a time frame to say everythings moving along okay. have parents wanting to know when we are starting meetings don't know how long it takes to get up and running, any ideals? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions, I have been talking to a another C.M. for some insight he has helped. he even told me that we could use the track they have for the PWD sine we are just getting started. he said thats what we are about helping one another. He even gave me some tips on how to get checking account set up. We are still need a treasuer at this point and a Wolves DL, has 2 people say they be willing to be a ASST DL, but not the main person.Like everything else, everyone wants some one else do step up. We have that problem in church, people wonder why things get done a certain way or should did this or that, but where was you we ask for help or insight? Okay enough of the soap box blues. Guess I want to get this going before boys or parents loose interest, we have not even had any den meetings yet, pop corn orders due in 3 wks, think people may start to wonder about things. Most of leaders have been basic training on line done, we are having training blitz on OCT 3rd for the rest. Guess I don't know why it is taking so long to get going?? Think we have a ideal of dues issue when the committee meets and discusses all that stuff. please keep ideals coming use all the help we can get thanks Bear Dad

Hello, need some help from all you experts, real quick. We are starting a new pac at school, wife is C.Chair as well as popcorn person, I am going to Bears DL have all the DL's expect for wolves. We are still trying to get people to help as always. Here is where we need help, we have not had or first den meeting yet and popcorn orders are due in a few weeks, so we need to kind of need a "ideal" of what the "basics" are to include for to set up dues fees? Also how do we need to set up a the checking account for our new pac, what type of info do you use on the face of the checks, i.e. BSA doing DBA as Pack#? Have some more questions later, thanks for the help, Bear Dad
