Cindy,
it pisses me off to no end that the so called "can-do" boy scouts and especially the scout leader couldn't have made provision to help you and your son out during this trying time. I would politely explain the situation to the scout leader and if that doesn't work tell him to go and f*** himself, that your son is better than an organization that touts itself as being for God and country when it lacks compassion. Remind him of their so called oath:

Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight

And their "vision statement"

Vision Statement
The Boy Scouts of America is the nation's foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training.

In the future Scouting will continue to

Offer young people responsible fun and adventure;
Instill in young people lifetime values and develop in them ethical character as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law;
Train young people in citizenship, service, and leadership;
Serve America's communities and families with its quality, values-based program.

Hypocrites!!!! They should be ashamed of themselves!
