Y'all,
Hey there yikes we do different at our Opost. What we do is that basically
when we start the meeting. We have all the groups together. We tell them about what
coming up events are and stuff. I have seen more of the younger boys goof off first
then the older boys. I guess each Opost is different, we do have younger boys that
will shove not big boys but like a pioner
