Awards Chairman Woes

We are having a problem with our awards chairperson. Just plain and simple,
she cheats. We have yet to have a pack meeting when her son did not recieve
more awards by far than any other boy there. I am her son's den leader (wolf
transitioning to bear) and pratically very month at the pack meeting I was not
so pleaseantly "surprised" by the belt loops and arrow points that this child
received.

We have had leaders meetings about this over the summer and have decided to
replace her. We are instilling very specific criteria for belt loops and
putting much stronger restraints on advancement award procedure.

My question to y'all is how do I handle this, this year. I feel very strongly
that I as den leader will be put in the situation of having to question whether
or not this boy earnestly completed the requirements for his badge and arrow
points. I confronted her last year when her son miraculously completed 10 of
the wolf achievements in 3 days. I don't want to lose the boy, but I don't
want to put up with his mother for another year. I don't know what to tell the
other boys when they don't understand why when they're working so hard, this
child walks away with everything!

All suggestions will be appreciated!

YiS,
