ericjude 10 Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Lisabob: On the books, they are a single patrol (Cobra). They carried over the name from their Webelos II Den/Patrol. On campouts and other activities, they split themselves into three groups: campsite, cooking and activity. The campsite patrol is responsible for setting up the tents, building the fire, etc; cooking is responsible for preparing the food and cleanup afterward; activity is responsible for planning (and occasionally presenting) the weekends activity. Each campout sees the membership of each group changing, and each electing a leader. It may sound a bit strange, but it seems to be working wonderfully. All of the guys have a chance to learn about leadership, while also learning basic scouting skills. And because they all have to be in charge at some point, they have quickly learned how to be good listeners. Link to post Share on other sites
FScouter 24 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Since you've demostrated the three-patrol idea works well, why no form 3 permanent patrols? Link to post Share on other sites
ericjude 10 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 FScouter: Because they want to stay in a single patrol. They all went through Arrow of Light together and want to keep those ties even if only on paper and their uniforms. As they advance and take on different roles in the troop, i'm sure they will entrust the patrol to new guys. Until then, they want to remain Cobras. Link to post Share on other sites
