raisinemright Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Cool story. I just passed the link on to the parents of our newest patrol. 8 boys crossed over last March. 6 have been together since Tigers and and all are advancing and doing well. I'd love to see them stay together throughout. When they came to the troop, leadership wanted to split them into the other patrols after a few months. However, their cohesion and dynamic is far better than the rest of the patrols so they will remain together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 If it's a boy-led, patrol-method troop, why would it be allowed that the adults make a decision to break them up? 10 patrols and 10-11 boys means that troop knows what boy-led, patrol-method is all about. That's why they produce a powerful crop of leaders. Stosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raisinemright Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 We're a newer troop (year three) all younger scouts and newer leaders and still trying to get the point across with patrol method-boy led. The inclusion of these 8 boys would add 30% to the troop size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherhoodWWW Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks for posting this! I was suprised to read of a troop that seems to not be what one would call an Eagle Factory. The age of these Eagles and the trips/ adventures they have been on sounds like a Troop with an outstanding program. Congrats to that those Scouts, their Troop and its CO!
