I do not know where you live, but in my neck of the woods $237 IS a lot of money for folks, especially with multiple kids. I am in a rural area with high poverty rate. As for value, (sarcasm on) what's a professional? Are those the paid folks who are supposed to help units with recruiting? I have heard of these mythical creatures, and thought they were extinct since it has been so long since I have seen one.(sarcasm off) If I wasn't trying to laugh, I would be crying. -
Having been raised in a troop that had BoRs monthly, I don’t see that as a problem. But, if they flex their schedule, they really should flex with scouts. Does a month here or there really matter? Probably not. But if it doesn’t, then setting aside time for 2nd BoR shouldn’t matter either. On the other hand, you’re stuck with the culture you have. Leave a little grace to consider that the SM may have acted the way he did with this scout because he wasn’t pleased with how things went down three months ago. He knew he couldn’t adjust the BoR schedule, so the path of least resistance was to be available on weekends to conference ambitious scouts. -
That's a separate issue altogether. I agree with you, however, this troop, and others in the area, seem to believe that BORs are on the adults' schedule, not the Scouts'. Makes no sense to me and doesn't jive with the servant leadership idea. -
I am always a fan of a friendly conversation. Scouting should NOT be complex. Scouts should not have BOR deadlines, etc. If a scout is ready, have a BOR. If a scout is just missing a SMC, then have the chat. -
I would just raise the issue as is. Hey SM, the last SM popped smoke after being accused of favoritism, etc ... what you just did screams favoritism and we need to address it before the unit gets hurt. What's the SM and CC going to do? Kick you out of a troop you're already thinking about leaving?
