When is it time to just stop?
I've been CubMaster for a little over three years now, got the position because there wasn't anyone else in the pack. Not anyone else willing to take the position, no one else was in the pack. I had one other adult volunteer; they didnt have a child in scouting anymore then.
FF to now. Had 3 cubs, counting my child, before the summer break. The AOL is now in our associated troop and the other scout had custody changes. The pack is still alive on paper with me as CM and my daughter in it. The other adult volunteer left. Council recruiting events dont bring anyone in, and the scouting website doesn't generate any responses either. When I did talk to the recruiting lead at council I said "I'm not going to deny kids who want to be in the program, but I'm also not going to 'Weekend At Bernie's' the pack and would most probably the off chance someone does ask that I'd redirect them to a different pack in the area."
Thr troop asked if they could share my contact info during the Memorial Day parade if anyone asks. Im going to give it one more round through the end of the school year and some of summer.
How do you definitively know it's time to close up shop, and how do you have those conversations with the sponsoring org?
