[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 246981, member: 1233"] My difficult child caused all sorts of confusion for his 1st grade troop leader. His wife was a friend and was so scared I would be mad when they called to tell me he was REALLY out of line (rolling around on the floor yelling "I will not be an automaton and you can't make me!" while the boys were learning the Boy Scout Motto and what have you. - I can ROFL at it NOW, but then it was mortifying!) thank you, who has some real difficult child moments, esp in group activities, is doing wonderfully with the exception of the bullying the other week (He got bullied, he didn't bully anyone.). With thank you it is mostly sensory stuff and social issues. I strongly feel the troop/den/whatever leader is the best predictor of whether a difficult child will do well in a troop. Our troop has a number of difficult children in it. It does help that most kids have a parent there to help out during meetings. Not every troop has that. All I can suggest is to try it. Let him see - but maybe hold off on buying the uniform unless you can find it used. Lots of the activities for badges are done at home, so kids who don't want to do them in a group can still earn the badges on a number of things. [/QUOTE]
