Choosing a troop

[jhankins 10]

My son is a Webelos I this year, and we've been discussing his choice in troops. I've supplied him with a list of questions to ask about what's important in choosing a troop, and then he makes the phone calls to set up a visit and interview with each troop and their SPL. Because it's his responsibility and I'm not choosing for him, he really taking the weight of it all seriously and weighing all the options.

 

Letting the boys choose is a pivotal part of growing up in my opinion, and the decision making process will serve them for a long time to come.
