Stan,
If such a silly rule had been in place several years ago in the troop my
son was
in at the time, I probably wouldn't be making sure the boys get a good
program
today. As soon as my son crossed over from Webelos, I signed up to go on
just about every trip the troop had. The Scoutmaster looked at me more than
once
and made the comment that he'd have me in uniform. I laughed because I
enjoyed
the freedom of being a parent without direct responsibility to the boys.
Needless to say, he won, and I haven't regretted it in the least. But it
was the
program that drew me in, not some silly troop rule.
