      Camp Bomazeen (ME) to be sold

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      Hopefully the donors, or their trustees/descendants, will not sign over deeds outright. We had that happen, and the camp got sold. And not a thing we could do about it to stop the sale.

      Is the real patrol method dead?

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      As I have mentioned, I have been around NSPs since they were an experiment. Every time the NSP has been tried with a troop I was involved in, it either exhausted the TG, or it turned into Webelos 3 with adults interfering. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. (major emphasis).  And every single troop has gone to Traditional Patrols. Including the troop that had one NSP that could keep up with the older Scouts because the initial group began the transition in 4th grade. That was the closest to a successful NSP. The problem came when the other pack crossed over their Scouts, and they were not ready at all. They did not focus on transition until 1 month before AOL and Cross Over ceremonies.

      And also where SMs abdicate their responsibility to have regular SM conferences with the PLs and SPL to help them grow as servant leaders. A high quality SM or ASM knows how to listen, ask questions to help the leaders reflect on their patrol decisions.

      This occurs in units where the youth leaders are not contributing to unit performance. Most of the time the adults are assisting the leadership to the point that they are preventing bad decisions from interfering the activities.  Ambitious Scouts will rise up into leadership positions in units where the scouts are held accountable for program performance.

      Is the real patrol method dead?

      By Tron · Posted

      I've volunteered with troops running all sorts of patrol structures and I least like the fully mixed age patrols at this point. They always seem to devolve into a process where the patrol leaders and troop leadership regardless of ability or likeability become the troop elected leadership and the younger scouts become second class citizens who have to ride the back bench and do their time regardless of capability.
