David CO Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Two people, the head of a Chartered Organization and the COR, are allowed to register in one additional adult leadership position in a Troop. Several people very politely advised me not do it. Having the IH or COR in another position really throws off the dynamics of the Troop leadership. I didn't listen. They were right. Live and learn.

Stosh Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Find a new troop. I wonder if that's going to be his new best piece of advice he failed to take? Stosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David CO Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 I don't know if your Chartered Organization is a church, school, or service club. How would you feel if the head of your Chartered Organization volunteered or signed his kids up in a unit from some other church, school, or service club?

King Ding Dong Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I am IH (PTO) and den leader and Cubmaster and play the role of ASM and am now forced to act as CC for the troop. Not good. I have wanted to move my oldest to another troop for almost a year. We have a new SM/ASM team so things may be improving, if they don't I know for sure my Web 1 will not be joining this troop.

David CO Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 I have read many posts on other threads bemoaning the lack of involvement and/or support from the units' Chartered Organization. I would like to think that your example is more representative of the typical IH. Thank you for all your hard work in supporting Scouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5scoutmom Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 David CO - Our CO is a church and it has a pack and a troop. There's another troop in town as well. Our COR, a friend of mine for many years, sent his only son to the other troop. When I asked him about it, he said he wanted to avoid any appearance of favoritism towards his son, especially since his family belonged to the CO church. His son knows he earned his eagle and wasn't just pushed along because of who his dad is. The dad is still our COR even though his son is now out of college.

DuctTape Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Keep a journal for each boy. All the funny stories and memories will be useful when writing a speech to give at say his Eagle COH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
