Over-Involved Dad
Today’s thread is at the scouter.com forum.
Scouting, in this case Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts or something similar, can be a great learning and growing experience for a young man.
The original poster is concerned that a dad is too involved in his son’s troop. The dad means well, and doesn’t seem to be trying to interfere, but maybe the son relies on him as sort of a security blanket on outings. He isn’t able to become dependent which is one of the objectives of the trips.
This thread is a very good discussion on whether this is actually a problem or not.
