I am an ASM and E-Prep merit badge counselor in our Troop.

For the past four years now each summer camp we have attended seems to turn a blind eye to requirements 8A-C. For instance,

1) Not requiring scouts to prepare a troop mobilization plan (we have one but as patrols change we require scouts to update the plan)

2) Not requiring scouts to construct a family emergency kit and/or a personal mobilization pack

I would be interested in other people's experiences.

I would also be interested in the mobilization plan others have used. We have a telephone recall system, but in this day and age we have limited success with a phone tree. I was considering having some of the scouts develop a text broadcasting system. Has anyone tried that?

Thanks.

It's not clear (to me at least) if this award is available for troop's to pursue after 2010. Have any of you guys run across some info? Our DE was not sure. Thanks.
