I sat down with the scout. We think we have things worked out.

I have a boy in my troop that is a life scout. Up till now he's been pretty good. His dad went to over seas because he's in the army and now this kid is fully acting up. Taking out his anger of his dad being away on me and other scout leaders. and to the point where the other scouts don't want to be around him. The scout was caught last year buying drugs at school and this year was caught smokeing. I kinda still feel the boy is still doing drugs but haven't caught him at a scout event. Two weeks ago at a troop meeting I gave the troop a deffintions test on the scout law. This scout only got 4 of the points to the scout law right on their meaning. I told the scouts that it is imporant for them to know what the scout law means. but the kids partent thinks what ever happens out of scouts isn't his problem that he can do what he wants. I feel as a egale scout that we take a oath when we get are eagle and if we take it we should fellow it.

I was going to sit the child down and ask him what scouts means to him and find out but I figure he's life she should know by now. The boys of the troop are starting to complain on how he acts and the only to things I feel I can do is put him on probation to see if that changes the way he acts or just remove him from the troop. His mom is part of the commitee which no one on the commitee has trying for the comittee which dosen't help. I would love ideas from any one.

Thanks
