      How do I point out to the SM that his actions are questionable?

      By qwazse · Posted

      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?

      In regard to the Youth, my only counsel is to keep them in focus and do not let adult things interfere.  Every unit is different and has myriad issues and personalities.  None of us can "fix" things all the time.  IF the adult leadership is an issue, and you cannot work within it to the benefit of the youth, then perhaps that decision to find another option for yourself is viable.  As often noted; all units would be great if we could keep the adults in the background.  Scouting is still one of the most shining options for the malaise of America, or the U.S.  We do what we can and pray a lot.
