Troop Game Plan: Praying for the Best

[Eagle94-A1]

Had a good conversation with our COR last nite. Helps he is also a former SM and knows all the challenges I face in that role. We are on the verge of folding. He know it, our adults know it, and the Scouts may know it. We need one more Scout in order to recharter, and we are going full throttle on recruiting. Our DE says they can help us get into the schools. I hope that is true and he follows through, but the council's record on that is poor. But as Gandalf the White said, " There is always hope, a fool's hope."

We will be doing our annual fundraiser as if we will be rechartering.  Goal is to raise enough money to  pay national and council fees, and summer camp. We will continue Scouting on.

Back up plan is if the troop does not recharter, pay for everyone's, both adults and youth, registration and council fees, pay for summer camp, and save the rest to restart the troop at a later date.

I am sticking around as SM until December 2026. I have idea on someone to replace me, but want to get them up to speed.
