Overview
Pack Committee: Decision-Making
Program Planning for Pack 5
is a joint responsibility of the Cubmaster and Committee
Chair, which our Charter Organization (Advent Associates)
has setup as co-equal positions.
Decision-making here and at
Committee Meetings, then, is not subject to "vote" among
those in attendance (which could lead to confusion as to
"Who gets a vote?" during meetings open to parents,
representatives of the host schools, et cetera, as well as
skewed decision-making based on less-invested individuals
who may otherwise vocally advocate Pack direction on which
they, themselves, are not subsequently willing to contribute
time- and money-wise for follow-through.
Advent Associates has vested
authority for Pack 5 Leadership to these two positions,
expecting that the Cubmaster and Committee Chair will agree
on necessary decision-making. It is expected that it will be
a rare occasion where the Chartered Organization
Representative will be called in to "break a tie."
The safeguard against other
voices "not being heard" is that, of course, the success of
a Pack depends on a well-populated Pack Committee and
committed Den Leaders, involved parents, and positive
ongoing relationships with the schools and other places
where Pack activities are held, as well as the people with
whom we interact. Thus it is important that the Cubmaster
and Committee Chair remain respectful and responsive to
these interests, even at times where their desires and needs
cannot or should not be met. |
