I am a 30-year BSA Scouter and wish to clarify that parents are not required to attend Cub Scout meetings with their girls. This is from the BSA national web site :
“May parents attend meetings? Cub Scout den meetings are intended to be an activity for the individual girls. They are not a family activity, and the presence of parents can be a distraction. However, parental involvement is not forbidden and all meetings should be open to your participation.” Parents are encouraged to attend the monthly Pack meetings, when all of the all-girl and all-Boy dens participate. Of course the Scouts BSA Troop meetings for ages 11 -17 are open to parents for observation, but they typically do not attend. You can learn about our Scouts BSATroop 248 for Girls at www.ScoutsBsaDcGirls.org. We meet on Saturday mornings and have 25 girls. Looks like you have some fine recruitment efforts under way. Best of luck. |
