scionofscouting

A long story short... Card games like Magic: The Gathering and YU-GI-OH used to be very popular in our troop. When the scoutmaster changed, he quickly banned all games save chess, checkers, and card games played w/ standard playing cards. Being one of the Magic players in the troop, I asked him about the bannings. Not only could he not tell me why the games were banned, he could not tell me anything about the banned games that might warrant a banning. Many of the scouts and a few of the leaders(including myself) believe that the bannings were simply a declaration of power by the scoutmaster to show his authority. I need advice on how to go about trying to get the bannings lifted, since the card games were causing no problems when they were allowed, and it kept the scouts busy.
