qwazse 4342 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 RS, I would suggest you allocate your gear to be tended to by individual scouts, that way your QM report to the CO would read something like: Piece of Gear, Quantity, Last known Condition, Stewardship (scout's name) That way they could go chase down every patrol box from every patrol leader and every spoon from every first year if they so choose. It's not a bad strategy ... every scout that's able contributing to the troops storage space. You'll likely loose stuff. But you could possibly start a tradition of troop graduates signing off on gear they've returned in good condition. Link to post Share on other sites

Scouts leave, things disappear (often after a campout which steward did not attend), and then matters quickly go downhill, hence our simple request for storage space from CO.

But, if the CO is aware of and satisfied with the situation, you're kinda stuck. Link to post Share on other sites
EmberMike 144 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think the whole thing is kind of silly when you really think about how much storage is really needed. A large closet would do in some cases, if you get a little creative with stacking boxes and building shelves. But apparently even that is too much to ask sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
