[Bobwhite Blather] Keeping it going

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

Bobwhite Blather has posted a new item, 'Keeping it going'

Most troops seem to operate under a more or less faithful version of
Baden-Powell's patrol method, where the boys are in charge of their troop, plan
and conduct the meetings and activities, and enjoy their success along with a
good measure of fun.

There are many, however, where the patrol method is merely given lip service.
The senior patrol leader may be elected, but has no real authority. Patrols may
be organized by the adults rather than the boys. The Scoutmaster or committee
may plan the annual calendar and decide on the activities, or even run the troop
meetings. In essence, it's a big-boy Webelos den.
