Miami_cheif, Instead of wishing someone wasn't an eagle we should wish they would of continued too live by the scouting principles and encourage them to re-discover the scout spirit and live up to the ideals of what an eagle scout is from here on out.

I am an eagle scout from a troop I have recently come back to assists as an adult leader after graduating college and been gone a lot other then returning during the summers and semester breaks. The troop has had a drastic fall in numbers due to a weak meeting program where it was just a social hour where the boys got tired of it and left. We have now and continue to improve the program and I think it is time to do some proactive recruiting instead of using our low numbers as an excuse not to do our annual fundraiser. I was wondering what methods of recruitment have you used and what has worke

not to bust up all the fun of the imagination but here is the technical answer... The date on the computer that is hosting this website is used for the dates shown.

for anyone still reading this or clicked here for advice on the same issue..... cheer and yell are two different things a cheer is a like a short song and a yell is something short like the zap,bang suggestions. the song suggestion whom one commented on being to long the boys would never memerize it i disagree it is a great suggestion about the right lenght for a cheer and it gives the boys something to work on that will help their memorization.

Our troop being located where it is we have 1 backpack and 1 tailgate outing per month on average. We usually also have the summer council ran long term as well as a week long backpack long term in the summer. also during the boys easter vacation we do a weeklong backpack to places that wouldn't be quite possible during the summer such as the grand canyon, zion, etc.
