This post from Shawn Cleary, a Scoutmaster in Green Bay, WI is about correcting a wrong and keeping a Scout in the program. It is amazing to me how wrong a Troop can get a program. It is good that there are people out there that know the Scouting Program and are able to correct it.
I am reposting through here, so you can read it and understand that there is a correct way on how to use the program to everyone’s advantage. Scouting is not a program to put limits on a youth. It is there to help them discover and learn.
Again, another reason Scoutnation is a wonderful thing.
Stories like this are what drove me to volunteer as a Unit Commissioner.
(Sarcasm turned on) Don’t you just love it when leaders impose their own standards on badge work etc. (Sarcasm turned off)
