Well the Scouters, save 1 who is out of town and really just keeps reregistering for OA purposes, families, and Scouts now know. One family is extremely angry, they are legacy and wanted the Scout's name on the church's wall with dad. They were only focused on that, not the best interest of their Scout or the others. The other two families, saw it coming, and appreciate we lasted as long as we did. One even commented on they were surprised we didn't fold last year. The Scouts were completely different. The two Scouts were upset and holding it in by the looks of their faces. One broke down. The troop was his "safe space" where he wasn't bullied or insulted. The question that really struck me was "where will you be going Mr. Eagle94-A1?" I told them wherever the majority goes. I did not want to influence their decision, I want them to explore and decide on their own. But my gut tells me one troop will be a better fit for all four of the Scouts. -
Apparently not. For a troop that is so active, it really seems geared around convenience for the adults. That might be a function of the kids who don't really want to be there. We aren't meeting next week due to Veterans Day. When the SPL made the announcement, the troop cheered. I was disappointed that they don't want to do Scouting. Our committee meetings are held the same night as the troop meetings. -
Absolutely. They can (and should) be held whenever and wherever is convenient for those involved. -

Our unit has almost exclusively conducted BORs at or immediately after unit meetings. Eagle BORs, being District volunteer level chaired events are held as their own event as befitting its significance. Committee members are canvassed to assemble a sufficient board to conduct the BORs. I don't recall any BORs at a committee meeting, nor even any discussion about conducting a BOR at a committee meeting during my 31 years with the unit. It is interesting how different units have different policies and procedures. -
Yes. A majority of our BoRs are done on the night of the committee meeting. It is rare for us to do them at a troop meeting.
