Today DJ goes to Juvenile Court for a hearing, and he's going to be charged as a juvenile since next wed. is his 18th birthday.. Tonight.. *IF HE SHOWS will be a very somber Eagle board of review.. (BTW held at the very same juvenile justice center that he is at this morning)
*Cdr.Jen has been asked by DJ to sit on his board as a "voice" traditional *fore him..<pain!!> As such the full story comes out.. DJ had a spat with his Mom he had her fill of abuse from him, the crux is that Divorce was key to DJ and his struggles.. His Mom kicked DJ out.. to his Dad's place. Dad works days and has two cars.. Dj drives but isn't insured.. On a free day DJ and a friend decide to go snowboard at the Mountian.. they speed along, go too fast and are stoped and issued a ticket for $200-300 but released.. DJ worries about telling his Dad that night and his "buddy" says that if he can get the money.. he can pay off the ticket, and his Dad don't need to know anything.. At the snowboard park.. DJ see's that there is a sale of new boards outside the shop, sticking in the snowbank.. He waits till the shop keeper turns away, then yanks all he can carry out and heads for his Dads car.. The Security officer in the lot see's the entire thing and confronts DJ with the goods in his arms! At the same time the shop keeper comes out and see's DJ... *Later- DJ calls Scoutmaster Hutton.. Painfully Scoutmaster hears a weeping DJ tell him how foolish he has been, that his young life is a total failure except for Scouts... and now he has lost the Eagle. DJ's Mom don't want anything to do with him and his Dad is red hot! Scoutmaster tells DJ that he himself is very disappointed.. and councils him that he must face up to this and tell the total complete truth.. He also tells him that BSA scouting policies have had simular moral decisions to make, and yes.. His Eagle is totaly up to DJ and the decision of the board with zero time to re-pent or re-group... He told DJ however, that he beleves Scouting may be the *most fair of any treatment DJ may encounter inlife so the outcome is out of Scoutmasters hands. *If in fact, the board somehow, unlikely grants mercy.. and awards DJ the Eagle, *DJ is now out of the troop, and not to return ever to a meeting or event. Scoutmaster is angry! There will NOT be a 'court of honor, reguardless the outcome. *The Eagle Board is tonight 8pm PST Pray that Cdr.Jen can minister peace, somehow to this broken and wounded family and to a boy-man in DJ! -=A=- ===== *High MORALE is the Index of effective Leadership. --------------********+********-------------------- Morale raises belief of the Leader in the follower, of the follower in the Leader, of each in themself, and both in the .....cause! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
