Thank you everyone for your very quick responses. I feel more comfortable now asking for proof of that requirement. I should make a couple of corrections because I didn't proof-read before sending. I don't think it makes a difference on the final answer though. It was the District Commissioner who has been demanding it, not Unit Commissioner. The power struggle is really one-sided with our associated Troop making a lot of requests and accusations of what our Pack is doing wrong. Eagle92 - this is exactly our situation - we keep hearing that we need to be "feeding" our associated Troop our boys when most of us as parents feel it is each individual family's choice to cross-over where they want. We don't advertise for other Troop or hold events together. As far as our Scouts are concerned, they don't even know the differences between Troops yet. This site is wonderful offering ideas to make Scouting fun for the boys and in sorting through some of "non-sense" issues. Thanks again for your input.

This is another question on the Requirements of a Den Chief and I am in desperate need of some guidance. I have been searching and unable to locate a line item that spells out which Troop a Den Chief must be pooled from. Can someone assist me? I am a volunteer from a Pack and our Unit Commissioner (and others not from our Pack) is demanding that we get rid of our current Den Chief because he is not from the associated Troop. Our current Den Chief volunteered on his own almost 3 years ago to help out with a Den with very "active Scouts". He was functioning as a Den Chief before any of us even realize it was a true position. Anyway, it seems like our Pack in being used in a power struggle between 2 Troops and some of us volunteers are getting very frustrated with being put in the middle. I would like to find out for sure if we are in fact violating BSA by-laws with our selection of the DC. Any assistance, guidance, insight, clarification you can provide would be greatly be appreciated by us "ConfusedVolunteer". Thank You
