Basically our children's pastor approached a financial board member for
monies for curriculum and was told "You just need to shout your program down
until you can afford it." This person wanted all of the children's programs
shut down to save money. Fortunately we are not going that far. We are
hoping to regroup get on our feet and start over. I am not looking at this
as defeat I am simply lurking until I can become Chief Flaming Hair Again.

I don't know a thing about what happened, but here's what to do
to avoid the same result...
1. Reach,Teach and Keep the boys in balance with outdoor activities.
2. Hold planning sessions and allways work from a writen agenda.
Save these notes and file them, for when people come to tell you
that you didn't do anything<G>
3. Avoid useing the "core group" for Leadership.. No one man or family
needs the burden of a RR Outpost. Spread out the responsibility as
well as the praise for the success. *Give it your best, then give it
away.
4. Use your greatest resources... the boys! When something good is alive
boys naturaly want to be in the middle of the action. Make RR a
good time and a good thing. Make it alive!
5. Don't get in any conversations about "proveing the worth" of
RRangers. Your investment is in the future, and the cost is great.
Others can do what the Lord leads, I'm chooseing to be a RRanger.
6. Show discouragement the door. Work for success, start small and
build on it.
7. If you become lost.. stop wandering and go back to basics.
8. If criticizum comes, remember it's not about the boys.. they
are raw talent<G> It's likely not the "program" as RR has been
tested for 30 years.. So it must be something about- Leadership.
*and as we all know-
=====
*High MORALE is the Index of effective Leadership.

Morale raises belief of the Leader in the follower,
of the follower in the Leader, of each in themself,
and both in the .....cause!
