[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on.

Scouts is about a parent spending time with a child.  If she doesnt have childcare for him, show some sympathy.

and FWIW, I was a boy scout troop leader of years and it was not unusual for little sisters (and sometimes little brothers if they weren't old enough for Cub scouts) to crash the party.

And they were ALWAYS welcome.  Scouts is not supposed to be a drop off activity  It's supposed to be quality time with a parent/caretaker[/quote]

That’s not true. My son was in cub Scouts and entire families were welcome. The activities were fun. My daughter often came and sometimes even brought her friends. All were welcome. Now my daughter is in Girl Scouts and it’s the opposite. I’m not even allowed to be there if I’m not one of the official volunteers. It’s structured and cold and not fun. I’m sure it’s our troop by in middle experience Boy Scouts was a bit of organized chaos and all were welcome. Girl Scouts is all about rules.

To op - is there a rule about having siblings there? Or some type of covid rule? Our troop would be all over that and constantly uses covid restrictions for why people can’t come or why we can’t do things. Check.  (Or let the kid come and not worry about it.)[/quote]
