guys guys....
It's simple. Our troop rule #3 is "NO CURFEW".
i.e. They can stay up as late as they wish, even not sleep, as long as they stay onsite and don't keep anyone who wants to sleep awake.
When 7:00am comes duty leader gets a pot and stick and bangs it LOUDLY near the sleeping heads of scouts untill they are fully dressed and fallin with their patrol. It is quite disorintating.
The deal is that they must be ready to perform for a full day at 7am.
Every scout does it at least once. Finds their limits, and goes by that. We also find it gives them a great thing to try and be up before the leader so they don't get the pot banged. A wet cloth does treats if the pot dosn't work.
