      Hi @Rob441!  And welcome! You need to explain this problem and post his BSA ID number on the site for the Scoutbook User Advisory Council (SUAC): https://discussions.scouting.org/t/another-user-using-my-email-address1/488777 (I just grabbed that thread at random, but the SUAC admins should answer you there. Good luck!

      Changing Troop Culture as a New Scouter

      By fred8033 · Posted

      Well said.  "with my father" ... I can respect that.  I fear this might be a psychology of the troop and a BSA training conflict.  Strictly speaking, scouts are to socialize with scouts in their scouting activities and then with the other adults.  In conflict, I also attending most scouting activities with my kids, but I tried to keep myself on the outskirts ... mostly.  ... It is a pull/push or a training vs reality issue.  ... I'm not sure there is a perfect answer other than making sure the scouts have positive growing experiences.  "adult leadership crosses over" ... is really up to the troop leaders you are joining.  They may very well be open to your immediately getting into a leadership role.  They may want you to wait a year.  They may have some in-between.  ... Number one thing is to make a healthy connection with the existing unit leaders.
