I am the Cubmaster and the best Den Leader that I have seen has just come up against an issue that we just cannot seem to resolve. Two boys joined this Webelos Den about 8 months ago. The two boys and the parents are very good friends. At first, the parents would not show up and when the boys became a discipline problem, the Den leader asked for the parents to participate in the den and let them know of the problem. Pinching, name calling and non-participation. Although this seemed to resolve itself over the past few months, we recently had a Pack meeting and handed out awards. The previous Pack meeting was at a campout so we did not hand out awards because we have had problems of award loss when handed out on camping trips. The previous awards did not make it to the recent Pack meeting for this den. Although all of the boys received awards, and did not get the awards from the previous meeting, this mom claimed that it was some kind of revenge on her son. An act of unfairness. Wrote rude emails disparaging the den leader and her good character. When I was notified of the situation, I found that the awards were in our scout cabinet and that the den leader had every reason to believe that they would be at the pack meeting that night. I explained this to the ill behaved mom. Although skeptical, she conceeded but still cited earlier problems and continues to compose backward compliminted e-mails to this Den Leader and is driving her nearly to tears. The den leader has been forced to walk on egg shells and every decision has a skeptic and a suspicious jerk waiting in the wings. I have spoken to the lady and seemed to talk some since into her but she just followed up with another jerk derived e-mail.. HELP !!!!!!!!
Can I kick er and child out
Can she sue me or den leader
How do I get a paid scouter to intervene
I have presented the alternative of a new den or pack and she states "Wild Horses couls not drag me away"
