It has come to my attention that pack 100 is in a difficult spot. There are several leadership positions that need to be filled for the upcoming year. If these positions are not filled, the charter will not be renewed.
The pack contains over 35 youth members. This would be devastating to Scouting in Winner as a whole. On the troop side, our leadership is okay for now although many of us are ready to transition to more of a supportive rather than leadership role as our sons already have or will soon receive their Eagles. In the troop side, there are only four Scouts. Of those, only one will remain by this time next year as the others will be over 18 years old. If the pack dies and we have no webelos that bridge up, then the troop will die too.
What I’m asking is that if you have kids in Cubs, please step up now. Agenda calendars and projected budgets are due to the Sioux Council before August 1st. Popcorn leadership and meetings were supposed to have already taken place. We need leaders and we need them now!
The purpose of this post is to make the public aware of this issue. There will be a letter to the editor in an upcoming issue of the Winner Advocate. Anyway, if anyone wishes to contact me, feel free to. If you’ve ever had the desire to become involved in leadership of scouting, there is a definite need. I just wanted to raise awareness of this issue and try to get it resolved before the new school year of scouts. Thank you for your time and consideration.
