SM_Troop 17

thanks just what I was looking for

where did you find the sources for new campaign hats. I am looking for one like the Corp of Engineers wear. Sort of a yellow straw color and textured like a straw hat. I have a BSA one and where it everywhere. but I want to keep it nice and have a outdoors one.

I have been the SM for a little over a year and I have tried to start a true boy led troop. However the problems are these. I appointed a SPL last may. He has done well but I have to tell him everything to do. If I set an agenda for a meeting he will do it but when it comes to having to do set one on his own he doesn't. The boys (1 patrol) selected a patrol leader at the same time. (they picked the worst boy of the troop, Great kid no skills) I decided to let them lie in their mistake, so to speak. However, he was no help to the SPL. We have just last week split into 2 patrols and now have 2 PL. The boys again picked the leaders and I think that they did an OK job. What should I do. The Green Bar training and the TLT or one or the other?
