Well, this is my opinion:

>From what I understand, a boy from "B" den or "the other den" wants to move
to "A" den or your den, to be with his best friend. So you are considering
moving your son from "A" den to "B" den JUST because another boy wants to be
with his best friend?

Instead of swaping them around, tell the parent (nicely) that it
would be for the better for his/her son to try to make new friends with the
other boys in his den. It is good for a person to have MANY friends, not
just ONE best friend.
