Hello....I'm new to Scouter Forums & came here for some honest opinions.
I am the soon-to-be Cubmaster.
My own sons den has dual leaders. They are lovely caring mothers. However a trend has developed slowly since they were a Tiger den. Now they are a Wolf den. Today was their last Den meeting of this season. Left over den "snack money" was spent on toys for the boys.
Now the trend appears.
Two boys received "cooler" toys than the other members of the den. I needn't point out which boys.
In this leaders mind, each toy should have been identical or nearly so.
I plan to seek additonal leadership before addressing the subject. Scouting is no place for such an obvious display of favoritism.
I'm just not sure how to approach a subject such as this without causing at least as much damage as has already been done today.
