Re: Need suggestions (cub scouts)
Scouting is tough on the adults, but impossible without parents who will take on the responsibility. You are the one doing it, so you are to be commended.<br /><br />When are you meeting? And what options do you have. At that age we meet right after school, at the school, with the principal's permission. That was effective because they weren't up too late. Might be effective for you because sis could ride the bus home, or get home however she usually does. I wasn't the leader then, but the women who were in the pack led. Now I am the Webelos leader, and we meet in the evening. My schedule is flexible enough for right after school, but I wanted to begin transitioning them into what the Boy Scouts do.<br /><br />Where are you meeting? We meet at a church, and one of the boys parents almost always brings his sister, another a little brother. One of the mom's stays out on the play ground with them, but I make sure to include them in snack time.<br /><br />Cub Scouting is more of a family activity, and I appreciate your sensitivity to the grandparents in this situation. Most of my scouts are from stable, two parent, homes, but I still tell them to tell the adults at their house, or "give this to the adults at your house."<br /><br />Good luck.
