  1. As far as youth to youth and adult to adult trading, the only time I have beeen burnt in a trade was from a youth. The rule is in place at the national Jamboree, possibly to protect the adult traders. Many of the electronic bulletin boards where patch trading takes place does not have a profile sheet or has a profile sheet that is hard to access.

    So it cmes down to being honest!

  3. 08-27//Joint Roundtables with break outs is the way to go. THere is information that in a group session that applies to both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Also having joint Roundtables allows newer Leaders to identify those form the opposite side of the table thus making the transition from one to the other easier. A Joint roundtable allows a presenter of a district event that included both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts to make only one presentation.

     

    Joint Roundtables is also the best means of reducing the time at meetings for some on the District Committee or on the District Commissioner's Staff.

  4. Zippy's comments support the fact 'Murphy's Law' is alive and well on Scout outings. therefore, teh number of adults should not be limited except in such cases as high adventure,ie Philmont, Northern Tier - those programs are primarily for the Scouts but Scouts still need some adult leadership.

     

    As far as how to restrict the interference of Adults, assign them a job, such as making sure the adult coffee pot or teapot is always filled

     

    That's my two cents worth.

  5. On Troop camp outs, the Troop I am with usually has between 4 to 6 adults for a Troop averaging 22 Scouts per outing. The SPL and Patrol Eladers run the show but with multiple things going on at once, having a half of a dozen adults insure all aspects of the camp out are properly supervised. Plus I have seen 'Murphy's Law' come into play on an outing and was glad that the Troop had enough adults at the event. Additionally, on the District Klondike, the committee chair encourages all registered adults to attend for a planned committtee meeting.

    One thing I have noticed is that those registered parents that do camp with the Troop actually have a better understanding of the program and supports/encouurages the Scout to advance and follow the Scout Oath and Law.
