Jill,
Before adding any more rules, did you explain that all BSA volunteers have
been given background checks?
My second thought is would the American Vets mind if you just switched
Charter Organizations and they became the "extra help"? That way the local
Church would be approving all volunteers through the usual BSA process.
Finally, doing it their way, see what kind of checking they would like to
have. If it's a howdy and a shake, I don't think it will get in the way too
much.

Subject: [Philmont]: Leadership approval question
Our troop is chartered through the local American Vets, but they do not
have a place for us to meet. In the past, we have met at a local elementary
school. While the school has been very gracious to allow us to meet there,
the cafeteria facility is less than ideal for meetings and our meeting
schedule is restricted by school holidays and vacations. Therefore, we have
been looking into alternatives. A local church is considering allowing us
to use their facility, and it is an ideal set-up. We have been able to
answer all of their questions so for, except one. The want to know if there
is a process to include them in the process of choosing future leaders.
They are asking this to protect both the church and the scout troop, which
I understand. I'm sure there must be other troops out there who are
chartered by one organization, but meet elsewhere. Does anyone on the list
have a leadership approval process in place? Does anyone foresee any
problems? Thanks!
Jill Sampson
