      How Do You Guide Scouts in Choosing Patrols?

      Expect chaos and embrace it. You are in the storming phase for the troop under your guidance. You will be great.

      Camp Bomazeen (ME) to be sold

      By skeptic · Posted

      We likely can be assured that the black-winged birds with ugly beaks will find a way if they can.  Since many in our legal systems have not spines when money is involved, or "reputation", it could still be lost.  I hope not, but since our local camp is now gone, and the only other property in limbo due to attached stipulations to a sale, I am not overly confident in the systems.  Beyond our own issues, simply take a review of the National disgrace currently in process.  My opinion, so please, I am old; do not waste your energy on verbal spears and arrows.

      My pleasure. If you’re scouts have global interests, have them check out the International Orienteering Federation https://orienteering.sport/

      How Do You Guide Scouts in Choosing Patrols?

      By swilliams · Posted

      So... last night was a mess, lol.  Unbeknownst to me, Confirmation classes are in full swing, and they happen every-other Tuesday night - same time as our Troop meetings.  This resulted in about a dozen of our scouts being absent - roughly a quarter of our troop.  On top of that, we had a visiting scout checking out the Troop - not the best activity for him!   Followed by three scouts surprising me with, "I need a SM conference."  Then the mom of the SPL asking me to 'pick Patrol Leaders based on who was there last night' so we don't have to postpone the training date because it will be inconvenient for her son.  This is going to be an interesting year.  😂

      I like that!  Thank you for the link.  We'll be doing our semi-annual planning soon, and I'm sending this to our PLC.
