The grass is greener and other questions

1. How many did we lose because we are boy-led ... IMHO none, but I'm sure there are parents who have their kids join the adult led troop in town. (I'm not so sure I want those parents telling me how to run the troop anyway.) The funny part is I get most of those kids back after a couple of years because the Scouts don't like the adult-led troop.

 

2. It's only happened once because the Scout wanted to be in a smaller troop and I was fine with it.

 

3. If you define a "trouble Scout" as a Scout who's conduct warranted a discussion with the Scoutmaster, I would say the % is very low. The boy leadership or the boys themselves usually handle the issue before it rises to my level

Based on what I see that the functions I attend, I'd say that a large % have some sort of ADD/ADHD involved...including my SS.

 

It was a much higher % in Cubs.

 

On the comment of Troop expecting parents to have deep pocket ... yep, mine does. Very minimal fundraising ...
