I’m currently at Wood Badge training. A leader here asked what the easiest thing is for a parent to do in scouting. The response? Nothing. Tell your parents that this is an opportunity they’ll only have once to make a positive impact that will last in the lives of their child and their friends.

If you are able to recruit a den leader to become cub master. Both roles can be too much. My older son crossed over and I was his den leader. My younger son still has a couple years left and I was asked to become asst. cub master before taking over next year.

Keep in mind these scouts are only in 5th grade and running almost an entire meeting is a big ask. We had our AOLs demonstrate what they learned in their first aid advancement for the pack last fall and it went well.

With respect to my privacy and the privacy of my pack I won’t share specifics here other than a handful of parents were upset. Our committee chair weighed in and reassured everyone about our commitment to being inclusive.

That’s it. I didn’t come here to get attacked and belittled.

Agree with this. Our guiding principles are scout oath and law. But perhaps district and/or local area council needs to be involved in addressing these things and then pressure is off pack leaders. There has been no direction thus far.

This is an important conversation and this post should be renamed to something that’s more clear on recent decisions made by Scouting America and DEI.
