      Is the real patrol method dead?

      He said next year, but if the word has not happened yet, it may be 2027 before going into effect since many crews are already set.

      Is the real patrol method dead?

      My 1968 SM handbook also says the same as your 1942. However, I did say the SM should be counseling the boys to help them make decisions. There is also nothing wrong with parameters of the patrol size as per the handbook to mitigate the unlikely result you posited. Also by giving them the authority it begins the process of them making the troop decisions, also when something goes wrong within a patrol they cannot look to you as the culprit. Thus I still suggest having them make the patrols with your guidance.

      Your source have any intel on when this might happen?  We have a Philmont contingent next summer, and will need to forecast, if impacted.

      I agree, to an extent.  I don't think it's acceptable to have ten patrols of two Scouts or seven patrols of three.  The 1942 Handbook for Scoutmasters has a good guide for re-establishing patrols.  Essentially, the boys vote by secret ballot on who they would want to be in a patrol with.  The SM takes the results and creates the patrols.

      My source said no. All 4 adults must have WFA when it goes into effect.
