If the parent can't come, can an unregistered grandparent take the Cub Scout on a pack camping trip so he/she can still attend? The grandparent is family, and would be there with the permission of the parents. The Pack Committee is fine with it...they just want to be sure they aren't violating any rules or guidelines. The Guide to Safe Scouting 2024 update mentions that a Cub Scout on a pack camping trip can tent with a parent/guardian and siblings. https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/gss/gss03/ It discusses the exception of allowing a registered adult leader to take responsibility for one unrelated Cub Scout if the parent/guardian can't attend. We just can't find anything on this exact situation and I can't believe it's never come up! -
As in the beginning of this thread and its variants, nobody wins. The suffering and trauma never goes away, even with money settlements. Sadly, it almost seems as if the larger part of the iceberg had to show after the Catholic and BSA tragedies. The fact the issue is not limited to youth organizations or churches or whatever is finally being acknowledged. What is frightening is that the depth and expanse of this problem is still only beginning to be admitted. We live in and have lived in a society with seriously sordid and harmful personalities and problems that have been swept wherever or simply denied for decades. Sadly, it is likely no matter what the responses are or will be, the problem is tied to the human animal and its worst inclinations. -
Parents registering themselves in other youth organizations generally works extremely well. The problem is that the scouting interface is not user friendly or easy to navigate and there is little to no real support. If you make it hard for people, only the committed will persist. -
Dropping that many in Tron's council is likely to happen in others since IMHO letting parents anywhere near re-registering their scout by themselves instead of doing it all by unit and having members in the same unit re-registering at completely different times is fraught with the disaster they have created. Parents doing answer emails so one from BSA HQ is not going to get any more rapid response that one from the school system. I'm going to assume that once again a business has implemented a new procedure without thinking it completely through and doing multiple tests. There are 40K units that need to register and some mess it up so why let hundreds of thousand potentially individuals register. Good grief! -
Massaging numbers can take a good bit of time, you can't just cook the books overnight. Has to be somewhat believable.
