I'm recognizing patrol performance by giving out beads that get threaded
on a leather lace tied to the staff of their patrol flag. Patrol that
earns the most beads over a three month period gets a pizza dinner
before the troop meeting. They get beads for things like attendance at
troop meetings, holding a patrol meeting, best uniforming, etc. They get
double beads if the PL shows up at the PLC.
One of the things we exerimented with was having the adult leaders fix
breakfast one morning on a campout for the "winning" patrol, while they
got to stay in the sack a while longer. For many Scouts, the
opportunity to sleep in was motivation enough, but getting breakfast
besides ...
We also had our PLC meeting the fourth week in lieu of a Troop meeting,
to plan the next month's meetings and activities. Kept from having to
schedule "another meeting"
