So I believe that parent participation is important when it comes to making a troop work. We always need parents to get involved for campouts, fundraisers, and supporters to the boys. But I think that we also need to be aware of parents trying to "baby" their children too much. The boys need their space to grow and learn, being able to interact with the boys without Dad always being right on him. Don't get me wrong, I think it's very important that the parents are there, but they need to act more like the registered leaders and let the boys run the show. We have some great parents in our troop
