I appreciate all of your feedback. The incident happend in late January and was not on scout property. It was not found out until late April. The SM was informed, and he discussed this with one of his program staff (the former SM) as well as the committee chair. We did not proceed with discussions with the parents, however two involved families were aware of the circumstances and felt it was handled appropriately and discretely. The incident was confirmed, the boys were spoken to and carded - our troop's discipline policy. My concern was regarding if the handling was firm e

It has been raised to the troop committee that perhaps the troop can help subsidize the adult costs for attending trips. Also, that some financial assistance might help get other adults to attend. What experiences do other troops use to entice adult particpation, and how many offer assistance for adult costs?

I have learned of in incident where some of the older scouts consumed alcohol during an outing. It was late at night, after lights out for most scouts. The situation was not known at the time, but quite a while later. What is the official policy and how should this have been handled?

The committee has been asked to consider some subsidy to adults to increase parental involvement on outings. What is your history with this?
