[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen atrocious behavior at our cub scout den and pack meetings, with parents on the sidelines either ignoring or seemingly amused by it. Like, straight up lord of the flies behavior. As a member of the leadership we are constantly trying to figure out what to do about it, because they just flat out don’t listen to us and it is harder when their parents are right there and not insisting they change their behavior or backing us up. [/quote] Hold a parent meeting and tell them you need behavior to improve or the den can't go on, because it's too stressful. Tell them from now on you will be needing parents to intervene because the whole den needs a re-set. Have no fear about asking parents, loudly and by name, to step in. They probably aren't sure whether you want them to or whether that undermines your role as leader. Write out expectations and post them at each meeting.
