[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1021062, member: 14661"] It's all about who is in charge. I made it to life scout and got order of the arrow and was working on my eagle when I was told to quit trying so hard because no matter what I did I wouldn't get eagle until I turned a certain age that was older than BSA requirements(I want to say seventeen but that was a long time ago) I quit under protest and rather than anyone listen to my end of things I was labeled a quitter(as were a few others who left for the same reason). That was in a really active troop where we had something going every weekend and it was a way of life. I still think I made the right choice as I left an organization that wouldn't follow their own rules but I did learn a valuable lesson. Any organization that big will be disorganized and variable and sometimes some members will have to work twice as hard as others to get anywhere due to the incompetence of leadership. My wife took on the role of cubmaster last year in the same troop that I was in. About halfway through we saw that there was no way our son could excel so we pulled him out and she finished her term and tried to get things as straight as she could for the other boys. There was a big push to get boys signed up and in uniform. Once the popcorn got sold everyone quit caring if they showed up at meetings or not :frowns: [/QUOTE]
