I want to thank you all for your advise. I am a CC and I have confronted here reciently with the basic "I am concerned about your ability to positively influence the troop. I personally have to sign off on your membership applicaiton and right now I am not felling that you are going to make a positive contibution." With that she has withdrew her applicaiton for Adult leadership. Which means that she will not be allowed to supervice any events for our troop. The sad part on all of this is that her son is great, and really need Scouting. She has been told now by me and some few others that know her personally that she is not to do that agin, or else. I just hope she doesn't call my hand. Because I would hate to have her kid hurt. I have asked her to consider another troop, she is going to send her kid on the summer camp with the troop still. But next fall she may be out. One can only hope. BTW. She has been a threat to some of the adult leaders as she is constantly telling them about liabilities. She works in one of the biggest law firms in town. So I have had to double check on our activities to make sure we are doing EVERYTHING properly. I'll keep you posted.

I have a new parent that is constantly cutting down the leadership in our Troop via e-mail to all the parents. She spreads rumors about our lack of safety and discipline. We are working on these issues but she has been very destructive in her approach, because we are not doing it her way. I have adult leaders that are ready to quit because of the open criticism of their best efforts. I am a very diplomatic person I have invited her to the committee meeting, to speak her peace. But her anger with how things are being done is out of control. She has been a major interruption to our troop committee this year. I am considering closing the committee meetings to parents and just have the executive committee meet just to keep her from disrupting. I have adults that are not attending events if her kid is involved. I want to kick her out. But it is her kid in the troop so I can do that? Help. What do you suggest I do? What can I do? I don t think I can I kick her son out because of her? I am at my wits end.
