Thanks for all your input. There is a hitch however. The parent is the asst Tiger den leader and wants to be the den leader next year if he holds his son back. Some people believe he has alterior motives and just wants to be the den leader. What do you do when the parent is a cub leader and knows his son has earned the rank already but still wants to keep him back. It is just a very tough decision and situation for both teh boy for school and now cubs.

Anyone deal with this issue? We have a boy who is goiong to be held back in school this year. His parents want to keep him back in cubs as well. I believe he should advance as he is "aged" out of the lower level and move forward with his den brothers, especially since he has already earned the lower rank. Opinions???
