      How to save a rapidly dying Troop.

      NAM 2024 they announced pilot for mixed gender troops. My former linked units merged to single mixed gender unit for 2025 re-charter. NAM 2025 briefly mentioned it- no immediate plans to fully incorporate it as a full-fledged program option yet, but as I understand it, the plan is to expand the pilot in additional councils in 2025. https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/NAM/2025/0 - Opening General Session.pdf

      First Scout week trip in 31 years

      What doesn't sound like Scouts?  I know a lot of troops who have a junior/new Scout patrol.  We just have 18 junior Scouts, so it would be necessary to divide them into separate teams or patrols.  The learning has to start somewhere.  When you don't have older Scouts going on campouts due to work, sports, or something else, there are no experts available.  A 10 y/o patrol leader isn't exactly experienced enough to dig into the handbook and put together a training class on his own.  The ASM needs to guide him.  Even the 14 y/o SPL lacks the maturity to get things done.  The normal campouts focus more on a merit badge and less on basic skills.  We just came off a week of merit badge factory summer camp.  Other than the morning sessions dedicated to doing some of Tenderfoot through 1st Class, no basic skills were trained.

      This doesn't much sound like Scouts. Why not put the skills into practice in their current patrols on the normal upcoming campouts?

      Be advised, the max weight allowed for HA is also the maxed weight civilian med evac helicopters have. Too bad the HH-47 Pedro are no longer active.
