i hear what you are saying about the bullying. in out troop we have a few kids who do all of it. although there not to good about hiding it. i remember when i was a scout there was a lot of it happening in the troop and i was a victim several times. when i approached the scoutmaster he confronted them and nothing got resolved right away because everyone denied everything. i guess what i am trying to say is, it is a little tough but it will get resolved in time. it always does.
i have confronted those scouts in my troop and since im very close to their age in comparison to the rest of the leaders, it made it much easier. I am 21 and the average age of the troop is 13. i am still new to this asst scoutmaster thing but me talking to the scouts just seemed to work.
i hope this issue gets resolved and the scouts can have as much fun as possible.
yours in scouting
