I am not sure if there are any national rules about this, but my friends and I had outside help on our Eagle projects and the Eagle board was fine with that. If anything, it shows more leadership and exposes local troops to local communities, which is good on many levels. Good luck on your project though.

It is unfortunate that we don't really have a charter organization, we sponsor ourselves in that everyone who is in our charter organization is on the troop committee. We just had a troop meeting tonight and the troop committee chairman started to interview those adult leaders who have problems with Mr. G, but so far only one person has been interviewed. When we told the parents of the kids who were going on this campout that it was canceled, they all got quite angry, as I said this event was announced for one date, moved to another, then canceled again, so they were not very happy with this

I will admit that it is a fairly short time but this sm has cut off events that had been planned well in advance for reasons that, to be nice, weren't logical. He is doing many things that people don't agree with, but he will soon find that his troop is near collapse. Many people, nearly all the older scouts are willing to walk as soon as possible, but I would like to avoid that if I can. Our troop is one of the oldest and best in our district with a great track record in both scouts and OA, but this problem needs to be adressed somehow.

Ok, thank you.

The thing that I want to know the most is if there is a way to pull this event off short of going camping as a group of friends.

The problem is that we told him about this campout on April 21 and he never asked to see the plan. I am the troop instructor and I have been running troop programs for 3 years, and I will finish my Eagle next week (assuming he signs my packet), so my resume shows plenty of planning experiance; one of the adults who will/would have been with us has been in the troop for almost 20 years and was sm twice, has the sm's key and the sm award of merit; there is also the fact that Mr. G has not asked to see any of our plans for anything, so this is not something we should have expected. I, and other

I need to know what the BSA regulations are regarding patrol events that are supervised, my problem is that I am running our troops new scout patrol and everytime we plan something our sm says we can't do it. The current situation is, Kevin M, who is also running the new scout patrol, and I planned an event for May 6&7. Our sm, Mr. G. said we could not do it because there was a troop campout planned for the same day, but our patrol wasn't going on this campout anyways, so it didn't seem logical. So, we reshedualed the event for May 13&14, no event on those days, and he said we could
