Howdy *Burn'nheart-

I read with intrest this merit schedule, and step out
on the thin ice to honk<G>:

*No Ranger Meeting should revolve around "Merit Aquirement"
to give purpose to the group.

Here's a few of my reasons-

1. Merit's are an opportunity for Commander to include other
Adults as advisors, councilors and expand his resources.

Commander allready has enough to do with paperwork-

My *wild idea is to ask every Ranger parent to sign up as a
merit councilor, and use a "study guide" form to walk the boy
thru the merit requirements. *The boy and this other Adult must
work out the requirements between themselves, in person,by phone
E-mail anyway they want.. *But the end positive is that the boy
becomes at ease in talking to a diverse population of Adults..

*and one Parent.. get's to participate with every member of the 
Outpost one on one in the course of time.

2."Presentations" can be done in the meeting as a feature..
but the nut's and bolts achievement needs to back the growing
communication skills of the Ranger boy.

The meeting format should remain as per LTC guidelines..
with perhaps more focus of Patrol planning and event driven
adventure's..

It's Royal Rangers not Sunday School<G>
