I just finished my Wood Badge course (SR-779) and I don't see how having an idea for part of your ticket will distract from the experience. I was more distracted during the two weeks between because I had to come up with "just one more item"! Our Troop has a "handbook" that has been revised recently. It is maybe 10-15 pages and deals with issues at the Troop level. It did not reinvent the wheel, but tried to clear up some of the items that are left up to the Troop descretion. I would suggest you not go to deeply into the items. Apparently our Troop at one time had a 50 +/+ page handbook that was "crazy" to quote a few of the adults who were around then. If you would like a copy I'd be glad to send you one. I'm not sure of the process of sending names and addresses but I'm sure we can figure it out. Just let me know, YiS

Hi All, I am new to MacScouter as well to forums, not new to scouting. I have been considering Lone Scouting for my 3 sons, who are currently active in a troop that is 27 miles from home. With the price of gas going up and up it is becoming a bit of a financial output each week to travel to the meetings. I also home school two of my sons, so I think on that level we would qualify as Lone Scouts. I would love to hear from Lone Scout families. I have not spoken to our district yet or our current troop, I want to get some more info first. My biggest concern is can a Lone Scout acheive the rank of Eagle. My oldest is 17, a Life Scout and considering his Eagle Project as well as finishing up on a couple of Eagle MB's. Thanks for your help.
