Just a thought from a new member, mom, maybe helecopter but trying not to. After being both my sons leader in Cub Scouts they are now both in Boy Scouts and off on a campout with out me. That was painful for me. I am anxious to hear their stories when they get back.
We have been at two troops. The first, in a year my son never earned rank, not even Scout. After attending summer camp. Nothing. I was told to back off and let my son figure it out. My son cried and wanted to quit scouts as the boys picked on him. My son has a disability, think of the show Munk. He is afraid of germs
