recipe for burnout

Take over as CC for one small pack. Make sure the CO changes the meeting place on you several times, and leaves you with numerous problems to deal with re facilities. Have yourself promoted from ADL to DL when you miss a committee meeting. Add 2 new good-sized dens with numerous leaders, all willing and eager, but needing guidance. Add new boys to every den, including yours. Deplete the bank account until you have to charge everyone dues. Lose the Cubmaster, which doesn't change things much because you were doing his job anyway. Make sure you don't do drop any of the balls you're juggling because that would mean your sons wouldn't have the scouting experience you want for them.

 

I don't know how much longer I can do this before everything falls apart. I'm going to talk to my ADL tonight about leading the den meetings, because it's impossible to manage a den meeting when people are constantly needing me for something. Still, all this is way too much for one person to do.

There are several people who you can call on for assistance.

The Charterer Organization Rep (COR)

Unit Commissioner

District Commissioner

District Executive

Any, or all of these individuals are available to help you get help.

Call them. Good luck.

One of the reasons a leader is not permitted to serve as Committee Chair and Den Leader at the same time it that it is too much work for one person. Burnout results and then the pack has two open positions.
