[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry this happened to you, but were there behavior problems?  That's the only thing that explains it. The adults and maybe even the other kids were just done and lied to make sure you didn't cross over with them? Learning disabilities really don't matter in scouts. [/quote]

Learning disabilities do matter to some troops. Some troops are really big on having so many Eagle Scouts and kids like mine with ASD and ADD are not likely to make it to eagle. [/quote]

Why? My dyslexic son thrives in scouts and all the merit badges are well suited to a kid who isn't a standout in school. He'll Eagle at 16 or 17 and loves it[/quote]

It has been such an important part in the life of my dc with multiple disabilities. The kids have supported one another.

My dc participated in a yearly campout that included some sporting challenges and got to experience an out of line dad who would scream obscenities and be inappropriate when they played football. That dad was living out his failed dreams through his troop and everyone knew about him and no one did anything. I 'm looking to see if  this is the same troop.

There is nothing more lame than parents taking over BS events. My kids troop was constantly having to rein in parents who thought the badges were for them. [/quote]
