A Scout is Patient

Hi all, As scoutmaster for the above mentioned troop, I would also like to thank everyone for their thoughtful insights. As a Master Sergeant in the Army Nat'l Guard, I could not be more proud than seeing smartly dressed scouts participating in such a patriotic manner. And I am soon going to put myself in harms way to defend their freedom to do so. I can also appreciate others views on this as relates to the U.S. Code. This flag is the latest of a series of flags flown from a memorial to 9/11. We have retired one already. For our boys this is NOT a "biggest flag" issue. Our troop was part of the memorial dedication and continue a close association to that memorial. As eluded to by little carl, our committee has decided that for now, we won't use the flag. We are, however, going to look into a official waiver by the appropriate agency. We don't want undue pressure being brought upon our scouts. Once again, Thanks for all the input.

Be aware that use or storage of an individuals SSN# falls under the federal privacy act. You must take care to insure the information is kept confidential.(ie, no posting of SSN's on troop rosters or phone list ect...)

After much digging the district officer in question is a district chairperson in charge of overseeing unit fundraising.

OKAY! Now for the nitty gritty. The main reason I asked is our troop has a major fund raiser at our local fair. We give credits to each scout depending on how many shifts they and thier parents work together.(no scout works alone)Our unit bylaws state that if a scout leaves the troop, they forfiet all monies in thier scout account. The CC from thier new troop is asking that thier accounts be transfered. He is also a district officer in charge of troop operations. We want to do whats right for the boys, but don't want to proceed if they are not officially transfered. (his memos have contained vieled threats of revocation of our fundraising permit) I think you can read between the lines and have figured out that the new troop SM was our SM and left under less than disirable circumstances. We have lost several boys and parents to the new troop. I had no part in any of this and am trying to pick up the pieces. Any thoughts or advice? Do any of you out there use individual scout accounts with Troopmaster. What do you all do in cases like this? Does anyone know what national policies govern this. We are thinking about cutting one check with account breakouts for all the boys concerned and letting council sort it all out. What do you all think. Sorry for the long post and any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!!

Hi! I'm new to this forum and need help on the question of dual registrations. I know that an adult can be dual registered in different positions.(ie troop CC, district UC...) I also know a boy can be dual registered in two different programs.(ie troop,venture...)Have you ever heard of boys being dual registered in two troops. I would think this would quickly become a possibility for conflict of interest, not to mention the problems created in record keeping. Is there a national policy for this, or is this a council or district thing. Is this a RIGHT, or a priviledge. I can see where this might be helpful for boys in rare instances, however as the SM for my troop, I want to insure resources are utilized to the maximim benefit of all troop members. Any comments?
