Inappropriate Comments To Other Adults In Front Of Kids

[NJCubScouter]

I think I disagree with Calico and TwoCubDad on this one. I think a troop has the right to expect that its leaders/committee members will at least be civil and respectful to each other, especially when they are at a meeting. (In this case they appear to have been right outside the meeting place, right before or right after a meeting, and I would count that as "at a meeting.") They do not necessarily have to be the best of friends, just "courteous." If this committee member is making hurtful comments to this ASM in the presence of his sons, for no apparent good reason, that is something that can disrupt the functioning of the troop and I think it does fall into the "jurisdiction" of the CR.

 

Note that I say "if". We do not have both sides of the story here - nor does the original poster, who was not present when the words in question were spoken. So I agree with some others that the first step is to speak with this committee member and see what SHE says she said, if anything, and what her side of the story may be.

they need to look in the yellow pages.

My yellow pages help keep the door open to the kitchen...

I think you should keep her around for pure entertainment purposes

The kids refer to my college yearbook as the 'yellow pages'. High school is 'Dead Sea Scrolls'.

 

Edit, Mattman is on to something, fortunetelling as a fundraiser!
