I am a fairly active Bear Den Leader with a good group of cubs and parents who we've known for quite a while. A few years back, our Pack welcomed a new Cubmaster. Nice enough guy, but for I guess a number of reasons (political, economic, racial, I'm not exactly sure) my wife (who is my Assistant Den Leader and attends the Pack Committee meetings) and I just rub this guy the wrong way. There have been others that we knew he didn't care for, who would eventually leave the Pack with their son. This is all fine, though because we don't always have to like the people we work, or volunteer with. Because we know we're on his "hit list" we have been VERY careful to dot our "i"s and cross our "t"s on paperwork, fees and training. Still, through the bluntness of his choice comments to us, and of course what he says about us in Facebook, we know he want's us gone. We just found out (by another Pack Committee member who also scared of him, but is a good friend of ours) that this Cubmaster intends on having a Pack Committee meeting, of which we are not to be part of (keep in mind, as a Den Leader,we are on this committee) to "discuss issues" about my Den and it's future. Granted, I express just my side of the story here, still my question is a one of Scout Bi-Laws. Can a CubMaster hold a valid Pack Committee meeting knowingly excluding specific members of the Pack Committee. Especially if this meeting is to discuss the excluded party?? Are these bully tactics a normal occurrence? Are decision made in this type of committee meeting even valid? If this Cubmaster decides he wants me out as a Den Leader, and uses intimidation to get whatever committee votes he needs, then what? If my Den disagrees and I refuse to step down, and we continue to have our Bear Den meetings, what happens then? I'm sad because I really didn't think my experience in Scouting would be this way. I'd love to hear some feedback on this.
