This is a common problem I ran into as a Roundtable Commissioner (oh yes, I 
was also a Unit Commissioner).  The "former" Boy Scouts, particualrly the 
ones whom had earned their Eagle Scout, felt they knew everything, and did 
not bother reading the material.  Things are different from a Leader 
perspective as opposed to a boy perspective.

Get out with your son and go to another Troop... PDQ!

Go right ahead.  Mention I was a Boy Scout Roundtable Commissioner and a Unit 
Commissioner with the Comanche Trail Council, BSA.  That should open a few 
eyes.  I also have my Bachelor of Commissioner Science from the Texas Trail 
College of Commissioner Science.
 
Good Luck and Good Scouting.
