Assuming that all the facts presented in the report that accompanied this
title are accurate, it is indeed and unfortunate incident.
Our Scouting Group has abandoned the term "Father-Son Banquet" and replaced it
with "Parent-Son Banquet". (There are no female Beavers, Cubs, Scouts or
Venturers in our group). It was realised long ago that not all fathers can
attend the banquet and some kids don't have access to fathers for whatever
reason. We also know that some kids are adopted or are foster kids so the
accompanying adult may not be their biological parent, but nobody gets upset
about the title of the Banquet. When we get some female kids as members then
we will obviously have to change the title. Remember, the banquet is a big
night for the kids. Any Scout leader or official who kicks out a kid's parent
at such an event needs to be spoken to very carefully.
