Does the Scoutmaster have authority to tell adults that cell phones can not be brought on campouts even if the cell phone is not visable to the Scouts?

How are Adults selected for Order of the Arrow? Can female leaders be selected?

What are other troops doing when you have Scouts and Adults in debt in their accounts but continue to sign up for camping events by vouchering?

Referring to earlier post: Totin Chip -

To add to the story - The Assistant Scout Master did cut the corner of the card. The Scout stated the knife fell out of his pocket but it was too dark to find it. He figured he would look in the morning but got picked up early and didn't get it. He felt bad that he lost it and was really happy when the announcement was made if anyone lost a knife, until the Assistant Scoutmaster cut the corner and would not listen to his story. During this same campout two other Scouts recieved a warning because they were actually widdling near other Scouts but did not have a corner cut on their card. This Assistant Scoutmaster does not have any kids in the troop - he is in his early 20's. The SPL is upset because the issue was never brought up to him or the other patrol leaders.

Our troop has many young adults with no children leading as SM and ASM and dealing appropriately with behavior issues - what is the solution?

Hello from Minnesota. I have been elected as the new Committee Chair for a well established troop. I was excited to see this forum and look forward to getting some well experienced advice.

Should a Scout lose a corner of the Chip if the closed knife accidently falls out of the pocket? Or if the Scout accidently leaves a closed knife on the table?
