Gentlemen,
Thank you all for your responses. And, Eagledad, I think you are right about those 'stepped on toes'. I like the idea that several of you mentioned of having him come up with his own ideas of how to serve the troop, getting them down on paper, and then asking the SM for a meeting. You all are right that he is kind of the first in this position in our troop and it is a learning curve for him and the troop as to how to use him. Thanks again for your thoughtful responses.
