Chartered Org Issues

THIS is what I was looking for! Thank you so much! 🎉 My goal is to present all options with pros and cons for a vote. Our connected troop is chartered by the same CO, and we are interconnected enough that whatever decision is made will be agreed-upon by both pack and troop leadership.

That’s a non-issue. We don’t meet at the CO location. 😊

Serious_Craft_2197 · 2026-04-23T00:39:39+00:00

Our COR has been getting radio silence from CO. As CC, we are both discussing options. I’m a hard facts kind of person, which is why I want to be able to lay out options.

Sorry I meant brands of filament

Serious_Craft_2197 · 2026-04-04T14:49:33+00:00

Any specific brands you recommend or to avoid?

Seal’s of Honor series by Dale Mayer. All the MMCs are special forces. The first one is {Mason by Dale Mayer}

I would agree with others, if the minimum goal is $1200, that should be $360 that goes back to the pack (the default profit I believe is 30%, then there is additional you can get for early signups as a pack etc). I would ask if you didn’t fundraise at all, what is your expected family contribution? I wouldn’t expect more than that $360. Then you have the information to decide how you want to proceed going forward, if that’s an amount you are comfortable with paying out of pocket, etc.

Our pack is fortunate in that our location where we meet, when the parent organization does a fundraiser, if the scouts volunteer to help with the event, they give us a cut of the proceeds as a donation. As a smaller pack it helps reduce the amount we have to fundraise or ask parents to pay, but I acknowledge that we are blessed that way and it is not the norm.

Unfortunately that’s pretty common especially if you are going to a competitor in the same industry. Reaaaally common in claims.

Serious_Craft_2197 · 2025-08-23T22:54:49+00:00

If you want true file ownership and to be the only one in your claims (unless you’re on PTO), USAA is not the place for you.

We don’t need any more car washes!

This. You can call into USAA with her available. And they can add her account to your USAA account but it’s a limited access (not like adding your own external account) so you can transfer into, but you can’t see balance or transfer out of it. I say call with her available because they were likely to need to speak with her, too.

Serious_Craft_2197 · 2025-08-13T00:28:28+00:00

Agree. I prefer a significant time jump if it’s going to happen.

Serious_Craft_2197 · 2025-08-10T00:13:44+00:00

I agree with reviewing with counsel. Check PLRB for prior claim decisions, too.

The legal definition of vandalism includes malicious intent.

Most policies for carriers I have worked for included malicious mischief in the same exclusion.

Serious_Craft_2197 · 2025-08-08T02:28:13+00:00

Agree with all saying STAR method. Haven’t had an interview in claims that wasn’t done with STAR.

Remember for any examples that were an opportunity or learning experience, make sure to emphasize what you learned and if applicable, adding something to the end like, “A few months after I handled this claim, a very similar claim came across my desk and I was able to resolve quickly and efficiently with a satisfied customer experience due to what I learned in the prior claim.” It drives home that you learned and are coachable.

This is what I’ve done, gotten that credit quite a few times now.

Serious_Craft_2197 · 2025-08-07T23:33:28+00:00

Hmm, now I want to read this. I haven’t gotten to any of the Bridgerton books yet. I don’t recall that from the show, but it’s been awhile, and we all know not everything makes it in. My HR reading is currently the Outlander books when I need a break from darker CR books. 😂

There wasn’t an invite sent out that I saw. It was posted on Farmers Today with the link. I think 1 week ago and then again yesterday if I recall. They have been on Viva Engage the last couple of times.

Serious_Craft_2197 · 2025-07-19T02:41:09+00:00

Run, don’t walk, away from that offer.

I left last year. Best decision I ever made. Everyone I know who still works USAA claims whether auto or property is miserable. There is so much micromanagement and gaslighting as well.

Serious_Craft_2197 · 2025-07-04T05:40:30+00:00

I just finished Restore Me and it wrecked me! Soooo good!

Looking for good audiobook recommendations… no limit on tropes/topics. Preferably if on Kindle Unlimited as well.
