Thank you for your advice, I am going to ask their father if he feels like it’s worth his time to stay first then I will proceed from there. we have roughly 30-40 registered scouts.

Thanks for this advice.

These kids father is our Scout Master. They don’t want to leave but feel that these few individuals are set in stone against them.

My position is Assistant scoutmaster Just some background information. The scouts that I mentioned have been in the troop for almost 4 years and are very motivated scouts. Since the time that they joined they have gone the extra mile and have invested extra time outside of scouts to complete requirements that can be done on their own and don’t require group learning. One of the scout leaders that has been giving them a hard time is our Advancement Chair and doesn’t like that these scouts are about to pass up his son (that is 2 years older) in rank and has been holding these two scouts

There is some jealousy of them and some hard feelings towards their father. They have been put down and made to feel inadequate by these leaders. 90% of the time every one gets along just fine and the scouts and their parents are very active in the troop. They have now decided that leaving the troop and going to another one is their best option. Again I think having them in the troop benefits everyone and them as sc
