Hi, I'm an 18 year old eagle scout who just recently crossed from the youth to adult side in scouting. I am very active in the order of the arrow: I am a Vigil Honor member of the local Lodge and am currently serving my second term as Lodge Chief. My father is the scoutmaster of our small troop. I do mean SMALL. We only have six boys in the whole troop, but just because we are small doesn't mean we don't have a quality program. Since my becoming an adult, dad has charged me with keeping our youngest scouts active. These four boys make up one of our two patrols and are second class scouts who have been in the program for two years. They will be first class scouts by the end of January. The Scoutmaster has told me that he doesn't want them to work on Rank Advancements until after summer camp in July because he is scared that they will get "burnt out", and I agree. I want the boys to enjoy themselves as well as learn. With that said if anyone has any ideas on what scouting things I can do in meetings or on weekend outings to keep these young guys intreasted and invovled I would appreacite any help I can get.
