I don't enjoy even having to say this...
The part of this thread I consider to be the MOST objectionable was from the original post -- "the whole Troop received a good ear spanking!"
The vote must be accepted and if one is elected the results are final. Leaders should not comment on the vote even when badly done. It is not our election -- it is theirs -- even if they do not respect it.
I feel the point could have been made even more effectively if the leaders had maintained silence and accepted the results exactly as cast. The youth members that made a mockery of the election would have been expecting an angry lecture and when it did not come, would be more likely to understand the solemn nature of the election.
