That is so funny are you serious there really is a complaint form

Well I can honestly say I have recieved allot of feedback. I am going to move on as CM. My pastor gave a great sermon over the weekend about how Wise people are peace makers and that some times when you deal with difficult people its better just to listen to their issue and then just let it be their issue unless there is merit to it. Plus as many of you have wrote some times its just better to focus on the the positive people and just not worry about those 10 families. Its amazinging how 10 sets of parents can cause such insanity for the rest of us

Scoutfish- well it was explained to them that the size of a den should be 8 max. These are the types of parents that like to complain but not step up to help. No one wanted to step up and assist. It was all a big mess. We finally concluded that we can not spend out time trying to make these people happy it takes away from time spent working on Pack programs so if they quit they quite. No more listening to threats

ScoutNut- Well I asked him why he didn't just tell the parents to come talk directly to me if they had a issue and his response was he didn't think about it. I told him that if he would have gone that it would have squashed allot of the back stabbingand junk. He agreed and said he would be going that route in the future. He said he was trying to defend me which I told him I appreciated but he should have just sent them my way.

Well I did not get into all the facts of the story but yes we did sit down and discuss it with the parents and they all said they wanted to stay together as one den. However the adults support was not there and the kids were distroying the den leaders house. The den was moved to a church fellowship hall but still 16 boys is alot to handle. When we talked with the parent about the issues of the den being to large and a split needed to be made, all the parents of the Private school all said they would drop out if we split them up. I understand boys wanting to be together but adults acting like

I guess my other concern is even though I am not the den leader now. I am on the ACM. and soon the CM. Negativity like that can be a wild fire and can bring other negitive people out of the wood works. I just don't want to see a cooh formed against me next year and i feel Like they are watching my every move to see what I am going to do wrong next it happen just 3 weeks ago at cub mobile. The den leader of that den came up to me and said hey you sould jump in and go down and bring up your kids car. Apparently some other dads were watching I discretly sent a few boy scouts down to do it for m

ScoutNut- I agree with you to a point on the loop thing but its not like I was questioning the parents integrity. It was our second meeting and i was going over requirements individually with each parent. I am all for parents signing off on activities but there was a lot of questions about it and I discided to talk to each parent and son individually to go over the requirements on a loop or two so they could get a feel for the process. We weren't looking for advance knowledge as much as making sure the kids had the basics. Like name 1 rule in base ball things like that. There are requirments

I have a huge issue with a group of parents that is only getting worse. I was a den leader of the same Den for 2 years. We started out with 8 boys in tigers and by the end of the year we were down to 3. Last year one of the boys from a local private school invited all the boys in his class to join. So we went from 3-11 boys overnight. During this time myself and the assistant den leader where in talks about him taking over so I could step up to ACM. We started the transition in Januaury I stepped back and let him take charge I continued to go to the meetings and run the behind the seens st
