One question I have about US Scouts is:
Was there/is there any patches/badges issued for little more than just showing up?
We've had that happen once so far in NZ Scouts and our comfort level with it would best be described as "low". This is for 5-7 year olds.
Our kids footy team issues a "player of the week" trophy unfortunately based on alphabetical order which we do not wish our children to participate in, preferring awards to be earned rather than issued.
We don't want to be "those parents" but we also don't want our kids to think victory/success is "turn based".
This parenting stuff can get awkward at times.
