T&C44

I've run ranges before for several years. Both archery and bb. I've found several things that work for me... I recruit older scouts 15 and up to work as assistants. I try really hard to keep the ratio at 1 assistant per bow and 1 assistant for every 2 bb rifles at the maximum. I use an adult as RO for each range. I have a training of about 1 hour before camp for my range staff. Each shooter is coached by an assistant for every shot with a bow. All bb rifles are shot from the prone position only (unless physically unable to perform, then allowances are made). Special needs kids are coached by me or my wife almost exclusively. I'm sort of chapped at times by the council event rule but I understand their issues, so I don't complain. Even though I'm military, I never call the bb rifles a WEAPON. Even though they could be used to inflict damage or wounds I call them a "bb rifle". I call my M-16 and my M-9 a "weapon". My personal firearms are "guns". Ranges are easy... just takes a logical approach. NDCLS course went over how to run a range but had NOTHING on how to TEACH shooting in either discipline. Now it looks like I get to teach that module at the next course. Gotta go, T&C44

HELP! I need a certificate of appreciation template for Cub Scout Twilight Camp volunteers NOW! Anybody know where to get a good template???? Thanks, T&C44

Sorry, I know this thread is sort of dead... What about a volunteer that doesn't have a COR such as an ADC or DC? Would the District Exec have that authority or who?

Been in TAC for a total of 6 years at this point.. CO has talked to DE already to ask for a change of personnel. Can't really talk to DC since DC is subject of complaint. ADC is too. UC is my wife. We are in contact with DE and TAC director. I was wondering if there is some kind of "official" process to handle issues like this. Every org has some official process so I'm guess that BSA does too. I just can't find it... thanks, T&C44

Hi, I'm new here. I don't know all the etiquette for this board so I hope I don't make anyone mad. I'm military in Germany. Chairman for a troop and a crew. We have some pretty big problems with some personnel in our district. Our DE and Council is aware... but I want to file an official complaint with BSA about the actions of two individuals... how do I do that? Any help would be appreciated. By the way we have the support of the CO, the DE and the head of the council. I just don't know how to make an official complaint. thanks, Mike
