FIB,
Im here bro..I lurk on a few people and post when I think I should. \:\) Everyone gives great advice and they beat me to the punch.
Your leader should understand. We were kinda trained for it.

I had a "2 parent" child in my den once.(no offense meant by that term) The boy lived with his dad and he only saw his mom at the meetings. I cant get into much more on their story but both parents did the best they could with the meetings.
A few months later they didn't return.
No matter what if you can help it, and if your boys want to, stay in scouts. Its some of the best times Ive ever had the honor of having with not only my boys, (and my daughter who came along willingly to the meetings when W had to work) but with 8 other bright eyed wonderful mischievous kids.
I do miss it sometimes but all of my boys "crossed over" Some became Boy Scouts, some like mine chose to do church activities.
What a great time!!!

Kerry, Thanks for the Tiger link..I didn't realize that they weren't included. :P
Beginners is right there is sooooo much stuff online. Stuff that isn't even in the books.
She can keep the book...just make sure the leader knows that you helped do the requirements so the W don't take the cred.
