I'm just a bit confused here. Who is your Scout Rep? Or, more to the point, what is your Scout Rep? Scout Rep is not a position I am familiar with. Reply:He works at council and is over the District. Why would a brand new Tiger Den Leader have the only set of keys to the place your Pack meets? Reply: She was given these by the church as they gave her a classroom she could use,for all of the packs use. Why would a Den Leader feel they can appoint a new Cubmaster? Reply:She used to be a leader where she lived, I guess she thinks she knows more than me. Why is it suddenly the Den Leaders Pack to run? Reply:She actually has avoided me and the District Rep all year. Don't you hold monthly Committee/Leader meetings? Reply:Yes but she has yet to attend one. If you hold monthly meetings, why can't you talk to the Committee then? Reply:The preacher is new and hard to reach. If you don't hold monthly Committee/Leader meetings, why don't you? How can you get anything accomplished? Who is your Charter Organization? I thought at first it might be LDS, but they do not have a Tiger program. Reply:Methodist Church Do you know who your Charter Organization Rep is? Reply:Yes. Do you have a Unit Commissioner? He might be able to help. At the very least he could straighten everyone out on what their correct roles/jobs in the Pack are. Reply:The district rep has said I am in a supervisory role, and that the pack is mainly my responsibility. A Cubmaster is in charge of a Pack's program. He can not "hire" or "fire" Leaders (neither can a Tiger Leader!). The Pack is owned by its Charter Organization (CO). Part of the responsibilties of the CO is to provide Leaders. The CO is represented by a Charter Organization Representative (COR). The COR, along with the Committee Chair (CC) are the ones who would be responsible for "hiring" & "firing" Leaders & Commitee Members. You need to talk to them. Reply:Will do. But If she is continuing the "bad habits" isn't that detrimental? (This message has been edited by cubmasterntn)

Ok, I have a meeting with the preacher who is our committee chair this week, and the scout rep says that the preacher will go with his recommendations, it just seems to me that if this woman has done all of this she shouldn't be allowed to run a den. It's a dirty crock what she has done, and the den is only meeting once a month, luckily I found out about an hour ago when they have been meeting. I dunno do you guys think I am right in persuing having her removed?

Yes, I have taken the training online, what I want to know is if a leader is a bad apple...do i have the power to remove them from my pack to save the unit

Was appointed as cubmaster last year, as my son was a first grader. I loved the idea and jumped right in trying to plan fun stuff for my dens, and even was spending my own money to have activities as the last cubmaster left us with no budget. 'Lisa' moved into the area and my Scout rep appointed her over the Tiger cubs. At first everything seemed to go well, and I figured it was all hunky dory. About a month later I got a call from a parent irate that she had driven 25 miles one way to find out my Tiger Leader had cancelled, this began a recurrent theme with Lisa, and on several occasions phone calls where placed to me about her language. I approached her on this, she apologised and we went on. She then refused to allow a group of 5 boys to join as she nor her husband wanted anymore boys in her group, I spoke with BSA HQ and was told if she couldn't handle it I could split the group, when I mentioned this she balked and allowed the boys in. Next came the Blue and Gold Ceremony, all other boys got awards...but Lisa didnt show up and to make matters worse she had the only set of keys to the church room. Luckily someone was there to let us in. Her boys where highly upset as where there parents and myself. Afterwards I drove to her house to see what happened to prevent her. Both her and her husband where halfway to drunk, and she informed me that she "Just didn't feel like coming." I was very angry, and went to my Scout rep, I advised him of the actions and requested she be removed or that I be allowed to release her and find a new leader. What I was told was that i needed to go to committee, I tried with no recourse to get committee together. This year, she took it upon herslef to "appoint" her own Cubmaster. She refused to answer my calls or emails to have a meeting to plan this years activities. I got a call from my scout rep telling me that I am still cubmaster, and when i explain the situation to him he tells me to meet with the Committee shair and that basically she can run her pack but she cant do anything else. Do I as Cubmaster have the authority to remove her?
