Part-Time Lone Scout

[swilliams]

I've looked online at how to get someone set up as a Lone Scout, and will call our Council for further info, but had a couple questions for anyone who may have had a scout in a similar situation as what we have.  This scout was part of our Troop last year, but moved back to Ecuador.  He will be returning/visiting from time to time and wants to be involved with the Troop as much as possible.  He's one of our older scouts and has always been a great help. He easily has one of the best attitudes and most positive outlooks I've seen in a young man.  Looking for suggestions as to what we can have him do, and whether he can have any type of POR with the Troop.  

He's currently in the States, and will be here until Feb. 18th, if that matters.  The scouts are reorganizing their Patrols tonight.  My thought is that it can't hurt to let him join a Patrol, even though he isn't formally a member of our Troop anymore.  There's not a lot of information I've found so far about what goes for this kind of situation.
