[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure I'm completely following- and I'm really sorry this happened to you.   I think its fine to file a complaint- but I doubt it will get you anywhere.  It sounds like your cub scout leader discouraged/ told you not to apply.  Its unclear if the boy scout troup actually had any involvement in this or not?  I'm also unclear- are you boys in 5th or 6th grade now?  Are they in a different troup?  If not and they are in FCC- just join the other boy scout troup- troup 1996 is a nice FCC troup.  You can join later- you don't have to join right when you 'graduate' from cub scouts.
Also- now you know the character of the cub scout leader- be careful in ongoing dealings with this person.[/quote]

+1.  OP’s story doesn’t hold up. She was passive in the application process but now wants to complain.[/quote]

oh I think OP's story holds up- I can easily believe this happened- its just that I think her ire should be directed at the cub scout leader who told her not to apply- its not clear that the boy scout troup that has been 'outed' had anything to do with it.  Unfortunately there are definitely parents who attempt to manipulate social situations to benefit their kids.  I can easily believe that some cub scout leader thought their own kid would be better off in boy scouts without OP's kids and so did what they could to keep OP's kids from joining the same boy scout troup.   But its the cub scout leader who is the villain, not the potentially completely uninvolved boy scout troup.  Now- if the boy scout troup actively discouraged OP kids from applying, while encouraging the rest of the cub scout den to apply- they absolutely should be outed and taken to the council for that.
