SUPERDUPERBOYSCOUT 10 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 So it appears one of my scouts has been showing minor homosexual tendencies, I saw him staring at another boys crotch during a scoutmaster minute on our campout last week. He enjoyed touching the other scouts, and they seem rather offended by his actions, should I talk to his parents? Any help would be a smacker doodle of a help!. Link to post Share on other sites
King Ding Dong 540 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Not sure what to think of "smacked doodle". Is that a regional thing? Link to post Share on other sites
SUPERDUPERBOYSCOUT 10 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 No no friend, its not Smacked Doodle. Its Smacker Doodle. (It is a regional term, it means loads of help, by jiffy!.) Link to post Share on other sites
Hueymungus 73 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Um...no. You have no idea what was going on. It could just be guys playing around. It could be that the scout is on the spectrum and does not know what "personal space" is or means. And even if he was gay, it is no reason to intervene and tell anyone about it. If you did OUT him to his parents, who knows what they could do. They could come back and charge you with violation of privacy and think your gay. Unless there is a violation of YPT or immidate danger of saftey, then stay out of it. Link to post Share on other sites

qwazse 4342 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Regardless of the OP's intent. This is does come up from time to time. Inappropriate touching can lead to a backlash of bullying. So, this isn't just a problem with one boy, but also his fellow scouts. The old SM handbooks addressed this more directly, if someone has one to quote, it would help. Basically, you need to be able to conference with the boy and find out why he's behaving that way. Then you need to conference with the other scouts (SPL PL's especially) and talk to them about calling boys out on inappropriate behaviors before responding in violence. They don't need to be mean when they do it, but they need to address these behaviors promptly. A simple "Not cool, man." may suffice. This an important lesson for older boys to learn, because it applies to harassment prevention outside of the troop -- especially toward the women in their life. By modelling proper behavior at camp, for example, these guys may be able to help a sister or girlfriend stand up for herself in school or other social contexts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CalicoPenn 729 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 1) What's your role with the troop 2) Have any of the boys complained 3) Are you sure you're seeing what you think you're seeing 4) Are you prepared to deal with the backlash if you're wrong, or if the parents react badly?

Stosh 3452 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Some how I get a feeling that this boy is being overly watched by the SM who seems to be seeing the boy relative to minor homosexual tendencies. If I had an ASM who expressed such ideas to me, I'd be watching the ASM more than the boy. Stosh Link to post Share on other sites

If it continues, talk to the parents. Link to post Share on other sites
