I was one of the ones that asked the question about Rangers and
Youth group on the same night. If you'd like I can e-mail you a document in
which I compiled the responses. (Is this OK to offer?) Also, please find my
answers to your questions below.
> Do we give our kids a choice? We give our kids a choice. We have
> "Everybody Night" on Thursday night and everything runs then. The youth
> group is strong, but like many other churches that run youth at the same
> time as Rangers, we have no AST/Challengers and only two trailblazers. I
> am looking at Moving Rangers/Missionettes as a solution to this problem.
>
> Do the kids leave Rangers/Mettes to attend Youth?
Yes. The kids that do not want to work at advancements and things
will move to Youth Group and some of their friends will follow.
> Did the Youth Program explode? Youth group is healthy. 20+ members.
>
> Did it build strong Youth on fire for God and strong leaders? I believe
> that this is irrelevant to the time slot.
>
> If a Ranger/Mette makes the move to Youth, do you allow them to attend
> Pow-wow's and retreats? No. If one of the Rangers decides that he wants
> to be in Youth Group, it's all the way. It's not fair to the commanders
> and the other boys in the program to split time. The patrol system fails
> if your Senior Guide or Patrol guide, in particular, wants to spend half
> of his time in Youth Group. They need to choose and give one of them
> their all if they are at the same time.
