In Montana, Alex and the boys visited several troops over the first 6 months we were there before they found one that was the right fit. It sounds like a lot of the pack/troop will be looking for another place as well--you might be able to have different families visit different packs/troops and report back their impression. You aren't in any real time crunch because someone is close to turning 18, so I'd take your time and see if there is another pack/troop out there that will work with your schedule. If you don't find anything, then you could consider Lone Scouting.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634986691129018580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-63754956294452110132011-03-15T11:40:33.503-06:002011-03-15T11:40:33.503-06:00I'm sorry, Debra.

I'll pray for wisdom and direction for you and your boys in this.<br /><br />And, just so you know, the Lone Scout program has not been terribly difficult to manage. A man whose work schedule has made it difficult for him to participate in the local council stepped right up and became my son's Scoutmaster. He lets us know each week what his day off will be. Since we homeschool, we work around that and schedule in 2 or 3 hours for a meeting. Actually, it is working much better because my son is getting much more accomplished with the personalized attention given him.<br /><br />I realize that you may want to have your younger boys in a Troop and Pack, though.Michelle Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447079002738068749noreply@blogger.com
