[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 85047"] I'd give the scout leader a big hug for trying again and being so understanding. I'd definitely try again. My thoughts when I read his response to the scout leader was that it's a defense mechanism. Low self-esteem, anxiety, a combination or whatever...when he feels like he's being put on the spot, he's going to put up that wall and 'get' you before you 'get' him...that tough guy exterior to hide the fragile guy on the inside. If it is at all related to that, success in a group - this or another - might help him with that. If a group this size is too much, look for a smaller group, a special needs group or even something like Big Brother's. Of course, I could be way off base here. It was just my initial thought.
