Apologies. Should have said Scout Led Troops.

My Troop conducts elections every 6 months. October and April. We don't have a standard approach for when and how to hand out new patches. Nor do we create any urgency on when to have them attached. We do press to have all patches in place before going to Summer Camp, and before all Courts of Honor. I'm interested in what other BOY LED Troops do to ensure Position Patch integrity.

I've been a scout volunteer for 37 years. I am a scoutmaster, and have served at the district, council, and Regional level. I joined the forum because I'm always trying to improve my troop. We just picked up a folding troop and have ten new Scouts that are older. They are Star and Life. I now am top heavy. I have too many older scouts, and only a few younger ones. In the past older scouts taught the younger ones. Now I don't have enough for the older scouts to do. I need ideas, and want to use the forum to get some. How do I do this?
