Why did I sign up for this again?

[dawnydiesel]

I'm currently a Wolf Den Leader and Tiger Den Leader along with being the area's Special Needs Trainer.

 

I've been working pretty closely with two brothers, both of whom are special needs. The other day I went to their house to pick up the special needs camporee applications and saw drugs and drug paraphenalia on their table.

 

So therefore, today I've been on the phone calling District Exec's and the state hotline.

 

Why did I sign up for this again?

my first inclination is to ask if the drugs and associated equipment was for the youth or the caretakers of the youth, either way the reason why you signed up is because you beleive you will make a difference in a youth's life and today you are

You did the right thing. You are required to report any abuse or neglect. This can also be in the line of child endangerment.

 

You signed up because you believe in the program. That is why. And you believe that the program is good for the boys.

Also... add to that:

"The only thing required for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

 

We Scouter's can not stand idly by and watch boys grow up to be men without true character and moral fiber. THAT is why we do it.. and I thank God every day that there were Scout leaders there for me when I was a boy and that I can be there now to stand in that gap.

 

Keep strong and know that these things change the world.
