Meeting frequency--pack and troop

[EagleInKY 14]

I agree Mark. I don't think it's critical for Tigers to be meeting year-around. But, by the time they're Webelos, the leaders should be trying to do some things in the summer so they are used to the continuity. For example, our Webelos this past summer had the following options:

June - Go on a day-hike with the troop

- Go to Cub Day Camp (not many want to, but a few did)

July - Webelos Resident Camp

- Pack pool party

August - Pack activity

- Den campout

 

While they all didn't participate in every event, it gives them some continuity through the summer. Next Summer should be an easier adjustment for them.

 

BTW, I like the fact that your troop meets virtually every week of the year. I want to get our troop to that point. I have a certain amount of resistance from some parents. As we grow, I don't believe it will be as big of an issue.
