You bring up a good point.  We don't ask anyone.  Frankly, we wouldn't know the details in this case if they weren't friends of our family.  This is a case of ignorance is bliss and knowledge totally throws a wrench into things.

"I'd be tempted to say then" ... that you also know the other adult lives in the same house and provides common care for the children.  Most importantly, the mom knows this and has chosen this.  ...  Perhaps just ask for a simple handle written note from the mom. 

I'm flipping back and forth on this one.

This is how we did it 20 years ago. I don't know how strict things are now, but often the single parent mother would provide a note giving the Cub leader or another parent trust and responsibility of her son on campouts.
