Thanks for the input. I've considered the averaging of all patrols in the troop. That is something that the entire troop leadership, including the senior boys can really take pride in having accomplished. I also like the idea of different classes of patrol based on composition of highest ranking Scouts. That could work. Thanks again, Scouters!

I'm in charge of our district Klondike Derby. In recent years, there has been a clamor to allow the Senior patrols to run a sled. They would run the same course as the normal patrols, but would be scored seperately to avoid the obvious advantage. I'm not keen on this, as it would distract the troop leadership toward preparing themselves for the event, as opposed to helping the patrols. Your thoughts and experiences, please?
