Dismayed At Our Local Scouting Dc
28 Answers
He has sacked our really dedicated and long standing GSL for being too old and been in scouting too long (22 yrs)?? And the group is small and doesn't have enough leader!!
She may be older but the group go on more camps and activities than some of the other local groups. And if the group hasn't enough leaders why get rid of one.
This is coming from the DC who is a pensioner himself with 30 odd years in scouting. Since he took over DC last year he has disbanded two groups and made the other become 'one group that meets on four different nights'.

She was in charge of one of the four local scout group.
I am really angry because this is so unfare. She works tirelessly for the group and is really dedicated. So she is old. But she does a hell of a lot more than I ever do or could. I don't know what will happen though as her husband and son are also scout leaders. The whole family is typical scouting and do so much. I don't know what would happen if they all went.

It sadly looks like not Jack, I think this is appalling. this is quote an old link but it seems to be quite a prevalent problem and one which tbh needs urgent addressing :( https:/ /www.ex press.c o.uk/fi nance/r etireme nt/1326 55/Batt le-over -the-Br own-Owl -sacked -for-be ing-too -grey

It is sheer folly to dismiss someone when you don't have a replacement already lined up. As long as the person is competent he or she should e allowed to carry on. These are voluntary organisations, not employed positions where there are plenty of people ready to step up. As has been pointed out, if there is no replacement the group may fold. Is that what they want?
