In my involvement in our troop over the last 7 years, this has never come up, but how do you all handle the "invite a friend" part of the requirement. In the past, we actually required the friend to come to a troop meeting or authorized activity. We now have a discussion going as to whether or not someone has to come and do we just take the boy's word that he invited him? After all, the first point of the Scout Law is Trustworthy, so on one hand I want to just ask him who was invited and leave it at that. What do others do?

Welcome to the forums.

 

This question has been discussed extensively before, most recently at:

Thanks!

I tried a search but it yielded all kinds of things that were not part of what I was looking for. Maybe once I get a better hang of how it works, I'll do better.
