I am still a cub scout leader. I know!!! I'm nearly as surprised as you are!
Things have been going along as though it is perfectly normal to have three den leaders. All right. Whatever.
A couple days ago, I was talking to one of my boys' mom. I had confided in her that I suspected they were about to release me, hence the third leader. I told her of my paranoias and suspicions, and she jumped to the same conclusion as me. She was really quite upset, as she was looking forward to her son being in my group.
She also told me that this same bishop that I have never had a problem with has given her some problems. She has a few tattoos. She was starting to get active in the church again. They were thinking of getting their endowments taken out, so they were trying to be good little Mormons and attend every week. The bishop approached her one week, and asked that she wear clothing that covered all of her tattoos. Due to the placement of her tattoos, that would put her in long sleeved shirts and ankle length skirts, or opaque tights. She was pretty offended, and from what she says, their church attendance has dropped off considerably since then.
Anyway, a day or so after she found out about the third leader, apparently she cornered our bishop and threatened him with severe bodily harm (jokingly?) if he released me. From the way she told it, she gave quite the impassioned speech. I have to admit if I had known she was going to do that, I would've been more circumspect with my suspicions. Oh well, too late now.
So, maybe I'm only a leader now because of her threats and speech? Who knows.
