Thank you for your response. Yes, I too believe he needs his time in the spotlight. We are located on Long Island. Where are you?

Thats a wonderful scenario! Thank you for sharing that. Even that would be ok for my son. Ive never seen the troop ever do that. Its always a ceremony. But I certainly wouldnt mind it

Amen. Yes As i stated in previous replys... I will be having my own COH for my son. Im just trying to work out the particulars.

Thank you so much Wisconsin momma. Its good to hear from another mom out there. This is exactly the problem I have. Meanwhile others are asking for inside stories and that there must be something more that I'm not telling. Our committee chair is exactly like how you described yours to be. Theres no explanation. It disgusts me that people like this can be allowed to be leaders. And quite frankly, someone needs to step up and voice it. People just cant walk away from this kind of abuse or discrimination.

so FYI... I still have no gotten a reply back from the SM. No we have no idea what the dog gone problem is. A council member told me to reach out to the SM and invite him and the others. In fact the council member said that some of them will in fear of looking like jack asses...LOL thats what he said... quote. it doesnt matter to me who speaks but the council member said I could not MC it. I can host it but, there needs to be a script for the ceremony.

I'll copy and paste... by the way, I havent heard back still with his response from my answer to his email. (This has always been the case trying to get answers for anything in this troop) My first email to the Scout master: Hey Bob! Adam told me that you had a bout with cancer and I want to tell you how very sorry I am to hear that but happy that you are ok. I pray for a clean bill of health for you.I was shocked to hear it. So words cant express how sorry I am. What Id like to chat with you about is this COH. I'd personally like to know the reasons b

Thank you gblotter

Right it isnt my sons story..lol My son was up front and present for everything, meetings ECOH, Camp, Webelos woods.. name it. He was there. Right from the beginning

Amen gblotter. Thats the only attitude to have. I wish all you guys here in this forum could be there!

Naaa My son never crossed him. Tried to stay out of his way after the very first time this guy bullied him. Yes you are right and It is Sad. You took the words right out of my mouth. It is Sad... Even adults need to act according to the scout Law. I will keep those words in mind. Wish I would have thought of them! LOL

I cant believe that you did either..LOL If these were reservations related to the physical limitations, then thats just Bullshit pardon my language here but there have been autistic boys that had more severe limitations and gone thru with no hitch. Seriously? You condone that? It sounds like it. Sounds like its ok if a boy has limitations that its ok to be treated this way. As a former or present Scout Master Im appalled by your lack of "heart" here. I think its appalling that anyone in a leadership that dedicates their time to helping others grow and helping to nurture, dont ha

No. When I said “Yes, I did, and proud that I did”. I meant that for the den leader position. My son went to camp to get the swimming badge done and could not do the endurance of it so alternatively he did the hiking. We found a great meet up group that does hiking regularly and it was slow paced so my son could complete it and he did. Yes everything is complete. he was awarded eagle

nope, I never said we reported it. My son did not want to go to another troop. All his friends since elementary school were in that troop. I can clearly see why he didnt want to go to another troop. He also was very friendly with some of the leaders. When my son confided in one, they just told him "who Doug"... ahhh, Hes going through a tough time.... I didnt subject him to it. It was there. My son didnt want to leave for the reason I just mentioned. The others didnt want to for the same reason. It may not smell right but thats the reasons why we stayed.

Website found..lol http://bsatroop354.com/

Thank you... found the site: http://bsatroop354.com/ Took a look around.. seems they havent updated it much

Yes I most certainly did.. And proud that I did. He was bullied by this one guy. Infact this one guy that has been the discussion of this whole thread..lol, there was one incident that comes to mind, my son me and my husband ( which BTW was the first time my husband even laid eyes on him) we had to walk up to a small group of the leaders to clarify info about Yawgoog camp, .... Well holy taledo, my husband. was about to ask one of the leaders about something and Bam... This guy out of no where gave my husband a look of death and screamed "NO".... Now in this text its difficult to e

Exactly right. the SM emailed me this morning but I havent had the opportunity to read it yet. We will see what he says.

oh my gosh, I have no idea how I would find out that info. The troop number is 354. Thank you so much!

Yup, I found all of that info on the BSA site so Im good there. I just dont know how to put in that letter that goes out to the POTUS and such. What to say? theres got to be an example somewhere. I know where we can do it for free so Im good there too. Youre right. it is their problem. I only pray they find whatever it is they are looking for. The traditional script would be great. Thank you. My email is: TheHomeCareerNetwork@gmail.com I dont know how to use the personal message system.

Heres the whole story That I replied to another poster.... Heres the back story you desire. This is what I know... When my son crossed over into Boy scouts, he had been bullied by this man. a leader and committee chair and council member... Why? Who knows. We never met this guy before. Apparently he had it out for certain boys. Who knows why? clueless. But my son was respectful and everyone loved him. The Smaller boys in the troop especially loved my son and looked up to him. Finally me and a few other mothers came to the conclusion that he mustve been bullied himsel

I suppose it was. My son handed in the paperwork all signed as the troop is very good and meticulous about this part... and handed in the day of his 18th birthday. The EBOR was in October. My sons 18th birthday is June 9th 2017. and just recently was given the card and certificate in a plastic shopping bag like the ones you use for garbage.

Yup, Im in process of doing that actually. Spoke with a great guy named Jeff Stern. Hes a District Chairman. Have spoken with Robert Rabbitt. Hes a Senior District Executive. Been looking at the site for the next meeting but I dont see anything until aug 16th a roundtable BBQ. The site is: https://www.sccbsa.org/bt I would love to go and ask that very question.

Yup Hey MattR. I did.. I responded to it. Yes my Son had the BOR. He gave in the paperwork right on his 18th birthday. The Troop took forever in doing the BOR. check, check, and check.. yes all was done and submitted to council. yes it was sent to national. Just a week ago the SM gave him the card and certificate in a plastic shopping bag.

Ok thats cool. How was that letter worded? Can you share that with me? This is what I know... When my son crossed over into Boy scouts, he had been bullied by this man. a leader and committee chair and council member... Why? Who knows. We never met this guy before. Apparently he had it out for certain boys. Who knows why? clueless. But my son was respectful and everyone loved him. The Smaller boys in the troop especially loved my son and looked up to him. Finally me and a few other mothers came to the conclusion that he mustve been bullied himself or was the bully in his

Thank you. But if you have witnessed the bullying from this man and the direct insults from him as well, you'll probably say the same. and BTW, I called him that one time in the thread and it was to your response.Im not sure what holes youre talking about. Unless you want a storybook and if so I'll be glad to give it to you. It starts from when my son started in the troop by this uh um... man... bullying him. Hes had it out for my son since day one. Why? Who the heck knows. We never knew him before. Looks like the proverbial "dog has his day" kinda thing. Really very disgusting
