She sits and watches me run around setting up the den meetings and wont control her own child who is constantly screaming and into everything. I mentioned this to her and if she could maybe help out more, she said she has Adult Attention Deficit Disorder and a l

Hi everyone! I was a Tiger parent last year and this year I volunteered to be the Wolf den leader. So far we are having a great year, and I am very excited about the scouting program. Looking forward to sharing ideas and learning new things here.
