Our troop has been operating with the NSP method for many years now with much sucess. We don't have a feeder Pack but rely on getting 2-4 Webelos from a pool of 3-4 Packs. We have always formed 1-2 NS Patrols and they have typically stayed together unless they get to small and we have to rearrange. We typically get all the boys to first class in the first year if they participate. This year we got 4 Webelos that have already crossed over in September. I expect the rest to come over in February from the other Packs. I am wondering how to handle these first four. They are really gung ho, two have Scout already and are working on Tenderfoot. The other two aren't that far behind. I worry about having a small patrol for four months and then combining the new ones in and the extra work on the Patrol advisors and Troop Guides. This also makes it hard to do a New Patrol Campout, unless we do two. Anyway I'm sure it will work out, but just wondering how other troops handle spreadout crossovers. YIS, Glenn
