I would like to agree with you, and I have encountered some very fine Scout groups over the years, but I have also dealt with far too many that were led by total incompetents. I would say that it is a total lottery.
The final one with which I dealt was bad enough to make me swear that from where the sun now stands, I would never have anything to do with any Scout group.
You speak the truth. I'm sorry that it ended so badly for you.
Every group is different but one thing is the same: volunteering to be a Scout leader does not instantly grant a person a wealth of expertise, but most people would assume that a Scout leader has just that when it comes to the outdoors. most of us are still learning to one degree or another. The good ones know their own limitations and respect them but, sadly, not all of us are good ones.
