Discuss it with your Unit Commissioner, District Commissioner, District
Committee Chairman, District Executive, but be sure of your story. Get
a couple of boys who will admit that they have been approached, and, if
possible on or two defectors. It may be tough to prove, especially if
the receiving troop denies any impropriety, and contradicts the stories
of the boys, but the attention focused by your actions may make them
think again.
Secondly, check out your program and determine why scouts currently
registered in your unit might want to change units.
