In my book, troop committees "hire" the scoutmaster and they need to
provide for his/her evaluation on a continuing basis. A scoutmaster who
is not willing to participate in this needs to be replaced. On the
other hand, the committee has "hired" the SM to lead the troop and should
not be trying to micro manage every situation.
If the SMs practices are not clearly defendable, then they need to be
changed. It is perfectly legitimate to have disagreements between the
committee and the unit leader(s); I would expect some in any healthy
unit. If the SM cannot accept the committee's policy and procedures
decisions, then he/she should step aside.
You do need to help defend the SM against over intrusive committee
members who want to run the show themselves (and probably wouldn't
accept the committee's guidance if they were in the SM position!!)
