RE: [RR] New program ?

Well, Duane, you assume that simply being present in the class is sufficient to earn the award. It ain't. Bible Study pages need to be completed, merit worksheets need to be completed, the actual skills need to be signed off. I have several boys who have been to every class and have never bothered to do the work involved to earn the awards. Net result: when merits and patches are awarded, they don't get them. Encouragement and one-on-one hasn't helped. They simply don't care about the awards. However, they've missed very few campouts and they have all the campskills and Bible knowledge I've ever taught.

So I guess I miss your point. What was it?

Yes it may be effective, and erase any mental prep work<G>

But it also shoots individual achievement and the associated "Honor"
of personal effort in the foot. In the troop we attend.. a boy who
attends the meetings and campouts may *never make rank or rate.

He might be asked why he isn't interested in advancement.. But he
never is given a bribe or cut a break on his duty.   The weekly meeting
is often crazy or disorganized.  Getting a handbook signed is hard
to do.. unless you get it done by your personal effort.

How does teaching a Royal Ranger sunday school lesson promote the gold
points?

How does holding a lecture/reading class relate to "earning" anything?

Later in the life of every American Citizen...

*Do we advance in life by attending classes, or by enguageing in the
struggle with all our talents?
