Ok folks, it looks as though we will have between 18 and 21 new scouts joining the troop over the next three weeks. Our senior patrol believes that even if we only get the 18, they should still be split into 3 new scout patrols. I think we should keep the 2 scouts from Pack 71, and the 2 from 36, together, but should mix up the scouts from the two 172 dens. If so, we've got to add 2 fairly strong-willed 172 guys, so that they don't feel left out or outnumbered.
Suggestions are welcome.
Also, we will need 3 troop guides. Paul should do well, and I think Frankie and Drew have volunteered.
