That sounds a bit like every summer camp I went to as a Scout. I earned four merit badges during summer camps - Pioneering, Motorboating, Waterskiing, and Backpacking. The last was Philmont. We just had fun at our camps. The troop in IL had a routine that we sometimes modified - we did a float trip on the Current River, swam in really cold springs, went water skiing, swimming, and motorboating on Clearwater Lake most days, and had some side trips to a state park or two. Those were filled with hiking, fishing, and cliff jumping. In England, the first troop didn't do a week trip. The second one did Philmont and Kandersteg. My sash only has 22 merit badges, but none for all the memories. -
We never had a BOR, other than for Eagle. Maybe we had a rolling BOR? In my second troop, I wasn't aware that we had a committee until 3 years ago, and I left that troop in the summer of '90. The next two troops didn't have them either. We just did our thing. Maybe it was a military culture and the constant challenge of learning and leading were just ingrained.
