WOW this is getting a little crazy just some more info mom and fiance are getting married this spring (date has been set) they have been together for 1 year dad is not in the boys life fiance has stepped up and taken on that role and done an excellent job i just found out he will be joining our ranks as a registered leader taking on the role of den leader for 10 boys just thought i should share a little more im afraid of what might be posted next?

Thank you all for your advice and ideas. I am fairly new to scout leadership, and dont yet know all the rules and regs. I have been to youth protection, and baloo, as well as multiple position specific trainings, but still questions come up and it is nice to know that i can get multiple responses and ideas from this site. I will always turn to my district office for questions I cant answer, but i also like to know what others might think. In this case, we have a solution agreed upon by the district and the camp, the mom will bring her own tent for her and the kids, and her fiance will sleep in the two man provided by the camp. I learned of this issue last night, after hours, and wanted a quick way to get some ideas and opinions. Thanks Again.

I have a family that would like to go camping at a district campout. They were told that because they are not married they could not go together. This specific campout offers two man tents, and this family has four members going. the mother and her fiancee, her son and daughter. I dont see why they cant put mom and son in one tent, and the other two in a different tent? Even mom and daughter in one tent and the other two in a different tent? This doesn't seem right to deny them an oppurtunity for a family outing? Any ideas or opinions would be appreciated thank you
