Wow what a response! It is so appreciated! Just a few more things, this scout is ADHD, as well is my son. I understand their interworkings but the main difference is I believe is the disiplne from parents. As far as I can tell, he gets absolutly none. His mom will tell anyone and everyone to go ahead and "get on him" because she says she has no control over either one of them and they wont listen to her. She laughs while she says it. Me and my asst's are meeting tommorow to come up with a fair plan of action for all. Thanks for all the advice!

Hi! I will first give you a little background... I am a Den Leader with 12 wolf scouts. Great group of boys, we all have so much fun. But we do have one little boy who will not do anything he is asked, told etc.. he hits, is so far beyond rude etc.. we went to a museum and he was climbing into, over the walls, and on the displays. I will be the first to say he does need to be in scouts. This has been an ongoing situation with to many instances to write. The problem is his Mom admits she has no control over him and just laughs at all the above mention situation. He does have an older brother that tags along sometimes and he has physically hurt another scout at a pack event. It is getting to the point me and my 2 other asst den leaders dread outings and meetings because we know we cant control him and his mother refuses too. Other scouts have stoped attending events for this very reason. I spoke to our cubmaster and thier advice was to pair him up with another parent as a buddy, but I know no parent willing to do this, nor do I think this is their responsibilty. I love these kids and hate to see the whole den suffering like this. I just dont know what to do. Me and my Den Leaders are meeting soon to discuss this. Please if you have any advice, guidelines, or experience with this type of difficulty, i would love to hear it! Thanks In Advance, Margaret
