I don't believe you will find anything due to the complexity
of all the situations that can result.
IMHO the decision in a particular case lies with the Troop,
Chartering Org, District, or Council leadership. Impressions or
Questionable behavior is all that I imagine would result in any
actions.
A few examples (That might need specific attention
1>A New Wed Couple a bit too touchy (OK Can still happen later
2>A couple that just doesn't seem to behave and makes the boys
or the adults uncomfortable.
A few examples (Needing very little other than applause
1>A Long term or Short term scouting couple that serve as examples
and are well respected by their Chartering Org, Troop, etc.
Separate Sleeping Quarters is the only thing I have ever seen
that is documented. Some troops don't follow this while many do.
As always call your Scout/Council Executive for a chat if the
situation merits.
YiS, IMHO, and may we each attempt to live the SO,SL,SS,SM
