As I sat here reading these post I couldn't help but think of my experiences raising up to beautiful daughters, before getting a son into the scouting program. My training with the girls was a nightly task, I would position myself around the front of the house just shortly before they were to go out for the evening. Giving ample time to "quote" inspect what their attire was. I say this only because we as leaders seem to think that it is our responsibility to mold these young men and young women into model scouts and future leaders of tomorrow. I give our concerned Parent of whom as been referred to as a parent and not a "registered Scouter" a great deal of credit and responsibility, after all it is his threshold and others like it these scouts must cross prior to coming to meetings, court of honors and Eagle Ceremonies. With concerned parents becoming involved on the front lines, our scouts will never have the equipment to use properly when they lead correctly by sincere leaders!
