Hey D J
I think your are right I'll check in it too. I
don't care that much about a cloth merit, we are not going with the cute gang
vest idea, we are staying with the khakis and placing the colored ribbon
pins on them, and as they add more merits we will just add a # per ribbon to
show how many they have per category. So if a boy did 5 merits in
the silver, they will have one ribbon with a five in the middle of
it. Our boys are sad about the lost "of one badge per
merit," but they sure don't want to go with the vest
either, so they are taking the option. Their outfits will be similar in awards
like the commanders medal, and you get it 3 times in 3 years, you don't
put 3 of them on, you just put a # in the middle. what are you
guys going with???

My understanding is that if we commanders earn
a merit, we, too, can wear them on our uniform. I believe I heard
something about that from national leadership at our regional conference in
January. I may be wrong, but I do think we can.

We are just big boys, a girls, I asked
about how a Commander gets to sign off on his merits and I was told
that we as commanders are just going to have to except ourselves as part
of a honor code to be honest and not lie. If we do lie about merits, we
don't need to be in Rangers anyway. I say get all that you can from
merits, I was wondering can you add them to our uniforms
too???

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.
