I could use opinions on the following...if anyone would like to give me theirs.
Last year I had a cubscout drop out, because he had not received his Wolf Badge at the same time as the other boys. His Mom told me that they were both disappointed and turned off and that her son had felt left out when the other boys received their Wolf badge without him. He had joined later in the year and had more catching up to do, than the other boys...that is why he did not receive his badge at the same time. Now this year I have a few scouts that have missed more than a few den meetings and may or may not have done the work at home. Some missing den meetings were outings and would be hard to make up at home.
Therefore, my question is...Do I submit my whole den as receiving the Bear badge at the end of our cubscout year. Even if all of the Achievements are not completed by some of the boys, since the motto is"Do Your Best"? I do not want to turn anyone off from Cubscouts. Feedback please.
