Okay, so here is why I'm asking...
Seems that our Council is on a "kick" to get more units - some type of success measure for the district executives. So he has hooked up with one of my influential (at the local district/council level) troop committee members to encourage us to charter a Varsity Team as an additional "unit". Helps him to meet his success measures.
Meanwhile, I'm concerned that doing so will rob the Troop of the most experienced and mature boy leaders (essentially the Venture Patrol in the Troop) - who will want to join the Varsity Team to do high adventure and sports. Leaving me with the younger boys and little or no leadership.
They are selling it as a Varsity Team within the Troop who will be excited to do new and different things and still be able to lead the Troop. I think that it will potentially backfire by dividing the boys.
