There are so many issues with the boy scout troop right now. I somehow became the committee chair, because he backed out because of the turmoil, so the Secretary is next in line, that would be me.... Anyway the committee decided to get rid of the Scoutmaster and an Assistant Scoutmaster... I felt good about it before, we voted, just the one ASM was let go.... and the SM was demoted to ASM.. Then I had to call a different ASM last night to let him know what was going on, and tell him he was on deck to lead the meeting Monday... We talked for over an hour. He told me I was the only one that asked how he felt about all this. He gave me an ear full and a whole other perspective. None of this was handled well. There has to be some way for these leaders to all get along... Aren't there mediators for this type of thing? All I see now is that we are only hurting the boys. the one ASM has a temper issue and blew up at a leader meeting after a round table meeting, the next was at our advancement coordinators in front of the kids. I realize these are unacceptable, especially in front of the kids, and I realize the SM wasn't doing his job by dealing with the ASM, but can't we get him to go to Anger management or something? I feel like it's too late to fix it, and the the one side I heard before was from our best friends, and I don't want to go against them... but I feel we made a mistake.... This is eating at me so bad!! I had to vent I have to figure out how to fix this , for the boys and for the leaders and the families.
Then there was our PTO meeting last night, my VP had a melt down at the end, and said she was done with the PTO... she was just going to walk away.. You know, I've said for years, I don't like kids... if I didn't like kids would I actually deal with all this to make a difference for kids...
On the upside, we almost have a wall in the basement, 6 more blocks to go... I'll get pictures posted soon.
