Ive recently been called to be the scoutmaster in an LDS troop, and I am having a terrible time turning it into a Boy run organization. I didnt grow in the church, and participated in an incredible scout run troop. There is lots of history behind this troop, and other LDS troops Ive worked with, that may be pertinent:
The boys are REQUIRED to join
The troops are small, and patrols even smaller
The boys are segregated by age, and the different age groups rarely interact
The focus of the scouting program is with 12-13 year old boys, and the bulk of their advancement takes place durin
