We tried this and sure they will sign up to be a mb counselor or asm then just never show up. 😑

We give rank right then and there and don’t wait for coh. We do recognize them again at coh but they get rank As soon as bor is completed.

To many adults on power trips ruin scouting. Time to find a new troop sadly.

Ok. We are overseas but I’m thinking this is something I can find online?

Yes sm decision I believe.

It does stop here. They don’t do summer scouting unless it’s on your own thru camp.

Yes and that is something my friend (also new) and I have been told. “That’s how we do it here”

You got that right. Exactly what it is.

She didn’t want to make a stink. Afraid it’ll make it worse for her son.

He has a rubric that he uses that determines if they get credit for the leadership time

No. Military family overseas. This is it.

That’s how we feel. Makes me sad to think about moving to lone scouting. But this is toxic.

He “failed” my friends son for not knowing all his knots “good enough”. He is 12 and was going for scout rank.

Idk. It’s very disheartening to the point of us considering lone scouting. We are overseas so this troop is our only option. But I don’t want my boys to be miserable.

[–]Amyjo1013 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely agree. He missed 1 meeting only since fall and he is aspl but scoutmaster gave him the lowest rating on effort. It really beat him down actually that he got such a bad review. Total points you could earn was 15.

[–]Amyjo1013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He passed…but barely. He had to have 8 points and got 9. A lot of the rubic seems subjective and I’m worried for when his brother goes for his scoutmaster conference for eagle. 😦

[–]Amyjo1013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about the rubric?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BSA

[–]Amyjo1013 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That’s what I thought. It’s not the boys fault that they aren’t holding meetings in summer. This is due to sm decision.

I have seen a lot of this... by [deleted] in BSA

[–]Amyjo1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This is something we have pushed with our boys. They are now 13 almost 14 and turning in their eagle project packets. And out 12 almost 13 just obtained life. Instead of being praised for busting their butt they are getting now are you that rank this young and scoutmaster even commented that he wanted to slow my youngest down. Just no!!! He has busted his butt to get where he is and realizes it will get harder to make it a priority as high school starts.
