"Best endeavours"

In our CAO it says "UPON the respondent Father agreeing to use his best endeavours to encourage the child to attend "Cubs".

What is a best endeavour and how many Cubs would a child miss before the applicant Mother could reasonably take father back to court?
The child has told the mother the reason he didn't go (Dad took him out to the pub) and cried that he missed a hike, but doubtless the father would say child didn't want to go/was tired.

For context the child was with the mother when he was in Beavers and was always taken ie the child enjoys scouts.

Ha! I'm the mum....don't know why I wrote it all like that, can't be arsed to change it now (on phone).

Family Thank you very much. I will have a good read of your post and go through my CAO and try and work out what's what.

I have no intention of withholding contact. It's not the way to do things.
DS2 is with ex every Friday.

Can't you just drop him off after Cubs?

Well yes, but ex won't want that.

Does the order specify the time that contact starts? Or say that your ex collects from school?

After school
