[QUOTE=deepimpact2;1857620]4. while they are promoting the fact that he is a cub scout so heavily, perhaps they should question why someone in his cub scout group didn't advise him NOT to take the utensil to school. furthermore, why didn't his MOTHER advise him not to take the utensil to school and check to make sure he didn't?

I must say that while I do go through my 7 yr old's backpack every evening, he has put things in there and taken them to school without me knowing (so far it's just been a bakugan and a lego magazine). So his mother might not have known that he took this to school.
Also, I know of several cub scout dens that meet at my son's school. And the pocket mess set (the fork, spoon, knife set) is something that they use in some of their activities AT THE SCHOOL. While an adult or older child might be able to separate out a scout meeting from school- smaller children have more trouble seeing the line. So if the boy used/recieved the utensil set at a scout meeting at school, it might be hard for him to process that taking it to school for actual school is wrong.
