[RR] A brainstorm? or more of a drizzle?

[D.J. Holland]

I thought of something I could do to help my boys with their merits.  We are trying to do a combination of old and new (transitional) programs to advance our boys.  We haven't advanced a boy in years, now I'm involved and want to stir up our boys and help them in the Rangers program.   My thought was this:  Since commanders may now earn the "trail to the . . ." as well as the boys, I would commit myself to working through the plan with the boys.  Each week, I would try to have something to sign off on.  The boys and I would keep each other accountable.  I'm thinking of letting boys sign me off on requirements.  Whichever boy I sign off on that night, signs off on me.  If more than one boy gets signed off that night, we have a Bible trivia face off.  I have a set of Jr. Bible Quiz questions.  Whichever boy gets the most right, gets to sign on me.   I'm hoping to spark an excitement in the boys, and have fun myself.  What I don't know is if this is maybe selfishness on my part, a little.  I was never a Boy Scout and didn't grow up Assemblies, so was not in Rangers.  Thus, I never earned merits or advancements, and this is my *opportunity*.  Am I just being a big boy, or am I trying a new ministry method for the boys?   Comments?   In His Grip,   DJ
