[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two Arrows of Light Webelos who will be bridging very soon.  That is terrible to hear that a troop would do something like that.

I recommend that you contact Dawn Greenwood ([b]dawn.greenwood@scouting.org[/b]).  Dawn is the district executive for the Old Dominion district of BSA.  That is the district for which all troops in Falls Church, Arlington and Fairfax belong.  I think you need to make the district executive aware that a troop in her district did something that is very much in violation of the intent of Scouts USA.  Scouts USA wants to rebuild their image as an all-inclusive organization and this should not be allowed.

Whether she does anything or not, it needs to be brought to her attention for her to research at a minimum.  And record for future record in case they try something like this again.  [/quote]

Appreciate the contact information. The size issue is legitimate and was a condition of this troop starting with other more established troops nearby. But it's one thing to have a size limitation and it's another thing to use it to cherry pick or discriminate against kids.

It absolutely felt pre-planned and deliberate. Our den leader, who arranged it, claimed that somehow the other kids were told to apply when they found "extra space" but didn't tell us. Even his excuse was lame.[/quote]
