Would you get your cycling badge at Scouts?

[Leaway2]

We go to amazing lengths to tire them out , its character building !

Tyre them out lol

I was going to say that we don't do girls.... but it could be taken the wrong way!

Our Group can't take girls as all the Scout Leaders and Cub Scout Leaders are male

We have steadfastly refused until we can have a female leader at the meetings

Choice

How does that sit with POR?

How many warranted leaders are on CC ?? I have been an Cub leader for five years and also help run Sea Scouts ?

It doesn't, see 3.6 (f) & (g).

But, and I think a big one, the leadership team has to be comfortable with the group they run. I have had 2 girls in my Pack, one of whom has been away on camp with us. I felt comfortable with this since I am lucky enough to have a female ACSL. We are only volunteers at the end of the day, though I'm sure some parents think we get paid!

Calling @Maggot

Was a warranted leader/assistant leader at 6 other groups as well as my own group for 141/2 years. Weekends would find me as the warden at the locally owned campsite during this time.

It doesn't, and leaders can lose their warrents over it - http://www.lutontoday.co.uk/news/local/scout-leaders-sacked-over-no-girls-stance-1-1035587

 

[classic33]

But a warranted female leader/Assistant Leader is required. Or was required, which caused problems for many groups.

 

[mcshroom]

That requirement was dropped in about 2007.

Our cub scout pack folded when I was about ready for Webelos, so I somehow wound up in the Civil Air Patrol. Like Cadet Forces.

[QUOTE 2886776, member: 76"]Yep, I run a Scout Troop. Although maybe I will be running an Explorer Troop soon as we have lots of older Scouts with nowhere for them to go locally. Bit of a debate though, as that would leave the Scouts without a male leader, which doesn't seem quite right. I don't know what you others think?[/quote]
Should not make a difference along gender lines. I had 6 girls in my pack and took them to several camps with no problem . We are trying to keep the group going as we lost are Scout and Explorer leaders with no help from district.
