Thanks for the update, Fritzie. I am sad to hear this news, and I wonder if any former scouts or scout leaders on this list would be willing to speak up and speak to the scout master who issues the merit. I would think a merit is earned in such a way that respects the democratic process and seeks to meet the needs of a greater good....seeking a win-win solution. Sounds like local politics at play. Perhaps former scouts on this list could approach the scout master and ask him(?) if he would be willing to withhold the merit until a solution has been found....and some of us need to meet to help find a win-win solution. Did we dropped the ball by only writing letters and not seeing this all the way through??? It sound like at this point things could be allowed to grow back??? I am willing to help. Sandy
