Well, I could not think of a more "tactful" subject so.......
This was brought to my attention by a fellow Scouter who may have to deal
with this issue. A potential dilema for the list to exhibit their infinite
wisdom upon:
Say you have a Scout in your troop whose father wants to be an ASM, and
mother who wants to help out also. GREAT, BY ALL MEANS, you say. Ok, now the
dilema. Both parents come to the meeting with a strong alcohol smell on their
breath. They do not exhibit any outward signs of inebreation. So, would you:
1. Welcome them with open arms and let them be active in the troop
2. Find a tactful way of "saying no" (help with this one, please)
3. Be blunt and say NO
4. Let them be active but discuss the "issue" with them
5. Other
