Parental Complaint #1

Today was the first encounter of what will be many with idiotic leaders and parents. Since I'm working archery, I have to define my area and reprimand those who don't obey those boundaries. Well, of course, some stupid leader decides to cross my lines without my permission. I yell at her and she walks away. She comes back later and says to me "That was very rude of you to talk to me in that manner. You're setting a terrible example for the scouts."

I was flabbergasted. She's thick enough in her head to think that I'm rude for telling her that she broke the rules? I told her that I'm setting the correct example since I am enforcing my rules on my range. She still tells me I'm rude. She then asks how old I am. I told her that I'm over 18 and that I'm an adult and that I am on the same level as her and that I have every right to yell at her for crossing my lines. Again, she still says I'm rude. I then tell her to go and complain to the camp director because I know that what I did was correct. I also told her that she was a stupid person for thinking that she can cross any line that has yellow tape on it and is obviously put up for a reason. She finally did go and complain, and the camp director told her that I was correct with the manner in which I treated her.

Cub Scout leaders can go and get fucked. Not all, but some. They think they can do whatever they want, but they really can't. I believe that all leaders in the BSA are on a lower level than the scouts, and that they are the scum of Scouting along with the professionals. They have no faith in the scouts and only wish to usher along them through the motions. The staff at the camps are the only people who actually put faith in the kids. Granted, the ones who told me they had shot before and couldn't even hold a bow right annoyed me, but that's life. I get frustrated towards the end of the day. But I really wish some of those kids would just listen...
