kckirwan 0 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Fellow Scouters, I am excited to share information and ideas with my fellow Scouters. I have two sons involved in scouting and have been a "tan shirt" since my youngest started in Tigers. I am now an ASM at the Troop that both of my sons belong to. I have recently competed the classroom portion of Wood Badge 92-88, shout out to my fellow foxes!! I realized that our Troop was essentially an adult-led program, so my Wood Badge ticket involves changing that and changing to a boy-lead program. We are about 28 registered scouts, with about 18 or so "mostly" active scouts. Well, that's me in a nutshell. Looking forward to learning from my fellow Scouters, YiS, Kevin Kirwan Troop 713 ASM Wood Badge 92-88 (haven't finished my ticket YET) Link to post Share on other sites

qwazse 4333 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Welcome, and thanks for all you do for the boys. I used to be a crow! My WB patrol mate was a CC and infusing more boy-led activity was part of his ticket. So, there was some leadership training of adults, and a goal of having the SPL MC the court of honor ... with ranks were given out by patrols. I attended one of those CoH's, and was impressed.

Stosh 3452 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Welcome to the forum! I used to be a Beaver, a good ol' Beaver, too. My ticket involved the Webelos transition to Boy Scouts and I worked 2 years on the ticket. The result was the den stayed together and worked as boy-led throughout their career in an adult-led unit demonstrating and making changes as they progressed through the ranks. All Eagled. My CoH's are and have been run by the boys, with each PL MCing a portion of the program and awarding the boys in their patrol. If a PL was to receive an award, it was presented by another PL. For the brief time we had 4 patrols and an SPL. The SPL assisted the PL's during the CoH, but did not MC. PL's are the highest ranking officer in my troops, they run the show.

Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 In our COH the SPL has the PL hand his guy his awards and the Scout shakes the PL and the SPL's hands. Link to post Share on other sites
