[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree to a point. DS is in a leadership position in BS. There are definitely some DC with behavioral issues. At 15, he is not prepared to handle some of these issues.

I wish some parents would stay and watch their DC behavior sometimes. When your child’s behavior consistently derails the rest of the troop’s experience, an adult needs to step in.

Not saying this is the case with OP, but there are different takes. Adult leaders should learn how to deal with this also and should get feedback from Council on how to deal with consistent behavioral issues. [/quote]

Handling behavioral issues is definitely where the adult ASMs step in to help with troop leadership.  I do think that parents should be present at least occasionally at troop meetings.  We had to send one scout home from summer camp due to these issues.  It is worth noting that he doesn’t have any identified/ shared disabilities. The scouts with adhd in our troop were fine.

I am so sorry to hear about OPs experience- that is the opposite of what scouting is supposed to be.  [/quote]
