- Jeff,
-
- I know this sounds like a cliche.. but I swear by it.. find out who your
- commissioner is (if you don't already know) and ASK them to come in and
- help you decipher the role of your committee.. and then help you
- TRAIN them in their roles.. (if not trained already) You sound like you
- are excited about the challenge of bringing back an older pack.. but don't
- be deterred by your short tenure.. a GOOD cubmaster can do wonders in the
- place of ineffective leadership. If you want the good works you are doing
- now to continue.. don't do ALL the work.. be sure that people feel that they
- are a part of things and make sure that they KNOW their JOBS!! This may
- include going over individually with each committee person and scheduling
- fast start training (to be followed up with basic training) to get your
- committee going down the RIGHT PATH!! Your District commissioner should be
- WELL KNOWN to you. the cubmaster.. he/she can provide lots of experience
- and tell you what may help or not help you in your task.. Hope this helps.
