The Phantom Charter Organization


Recommended Posts

When our previous troop split up, those of us who left scrambled to find a chartering organization. We decided that we wanted to take our time in order to find an organization that had our best interests at heart and would be supportive of our boys.

 

We were told by council that we could charter the troop as "Friends of Troop X" for 6 months or 1 year. We met at the Scoutmaster's house and had a COR who was very supportive of the troop. We chose to do that for a 6 month period but were lucky enough to find our perfect chartering org. in a fewer months than that. We just finished writing up the papers for the charter and will be presenting them at a church service in two weeks.

 

I'm not sure what the rules are about "Friends of X" as a chartering organization but we were told, no more than 1 year.

It sounds like a good rule to me. This is one of many areas that is somewhat open to local interpretation. Your council said 6 months to one year. It seems to have worked. Congratulations.

 

Eisley -- it's a simile. I said like an an extention cord.
