      Girl troop numbering

      In your council.    Our council the packs, boy troop, girl troops, and crews all have different numbers.

      Girl troop numbering

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      Sadly, the CO has a number, and all units associated with that CO: Pack, Troops, Ship, or Crew would have the same number. CC, and COR would need to crack down on the girls unit.  There are a few cases where the CO has multiple numbers, but those are rare.

      Girl troop numbering

      By Armymutt · Posted

      I'm curious how other councils number girl troops, and the reason.  Ours takes the same number as the associated boy troop, which is confusing.  To unofficially (not on beascout) separate the two, a G is added to the girl troop.  To me, they are separate entities and should have different numbers.  It's becoming more of an issue as the troops develop different styles of leadership.  We had a summer camp adult leader huddle tonight to go over the rules of summer camp.  Apparently, our CC (for both units) has had to deal with council investigations one every summer trip for the past couple of years.  While the CC was talking, the boy troop adult leadership stood quietly, dressed in uniforms.  The girl troop leadership had the SM in uniform and the other two adult leaders dressed in random assortment of clothing, cracking jokes.  The girl's troop is the one that seems to be the driver of the investigations. I don't want to be associated with that sort of organization.

      I Think It Is Time to Shut Down the Troop

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      I believe I have found a good home for them. The troop has a similar philosophy regarding advancement, and they have an active Cub Scout pack.. So they have  future. And their program is strong. Talking to the UC, that unit and ours were not the ones he was worried about, until I told him the situation. The reason for waiting until the end of the charter year is that we do have some money to spend in the unit account, and I do not want that money going to council. Under the new Charter Agreement, they are supposed to get that money, and they put us into this position. I really want the money to stay with the church in the hope they can restart the troop in the future. I didn't think of that, and that is a good point. We will probably end a month before recharter, as we have an activity planned that no one will want to miss.

      Thanks for your volunteer service. At some point, the uphill battle becomes too steep to continue.   If you have no other options, discreetly find a good home you can recommend to your Scouts, and get them transitioned there ASAP. Recommend you not wait until the Troop does not recharter, then do the transfers... that could cause a break in continuity that may cause some to drop all together. Do you already have a solid unit they could go to?
